Most reviewers say one cannot really feel the springs work, just that they do absorb the worst road shock, and I have to agree.

I laced mine, however; perhaps that made a difference..?

I'm 240 pounds, so I make the springs work. I have a Flyer on my fat bike, and when I ride it off road it squeaks like the mattress in a room you rent by the hour. Hard working.
