That may not be a good trade...
yeah....i thought about that, but it all depends on what bike we are talking about...
I'm not expert enough to give advice, but the advice given to me was not to get suspension unless you are going to need it for off road riding. I took that advise and have been happy with the decision.
I have a feeling I am going to slightly regret that choice on the DS down the road. I got it with the thought of doing some light trail work, but now that I own the bike....reality is I may do that once....twice with this bike because I would rather have an actual mountain bike to take off road. The DS for me will become my family bike when we ride. I just know that when we have to limb some hills with it I will be cursing the non locking suspension lol.
