Yeah, but that awesome feeling of your finger joints separating from the constant jarring means you wouldn't be focussing on your burning lungs and legs.
Nah, just stiring. I know there's no way anyone would ride rigids if they had a choice. I'm just pissed cause I've gone from an ok rider on my old thing to a bum on the new bike. I'll sort out how to get on with the fork one day.
