Keep in mind that I don't care whether or not you (or anybody) uses them.
But the technique to ride a road bike more comfortably (and faster) requires a different technique than "steamrolling" over things with a full suspension bike.
Yes, that's the gist of it after all. (I'm not ironic this time, thank you for your contributions anyway). I think habit is a lot important, I'm getting more used to the rigid bike day after day. You are right, it's not that bad after all!
