Last night I cant sleep. Thinking of something back from homeland. Went to the basement and saw a rigid fork(caliper type) bought for $5 3 weeks ago. I thought its about time to answer the question that always linger whenever i do a century gravel races. How fast this bike(Roam3) will make me if i dont have front suspension?
So at 1 o'clock in the morning I converted my hard tail bike into a Rigid one.
This is a temporary fork. My mind is divided whether to spend a hundred or two to buy a nice and decent looking fork or sell it and buy a used/brand new rigid bike.
BTW my bike's weight prior to conversion was 30lbs. Its now just down to 25lbs.
