Beautiful bike, by the way.
Thank you. I did nothing to the front wheel, basically because I am not aware of anything that can be done besides a front suspension mod from Japan( only thing I've seen is 1 picture), or the pantour hub which I read bad things about it.

But I wasn't happy with the standard elastomer as my only source of anti-bumping. I assume I ended up used to most of the vibration coming from the front, but my internal organs were really feeling when I would jump something and land seated. I guess the fact that I had a thudbuster laying arround didn't hurt either.
