Are either or a good option for my solid frame commuter? I looked at a few seatpost shocks, but they seemed cheezy asnd a pain to adjust. I also do not want to bottom out. BTW, I have a Dyno D500.

I have a Post Moderne shock seatpost. While I find it smoothes the bigger pot-holes, it doent make much difference to the comfort. The Thud-Buster is quite popular and may give more shock absorption. I dont think shock forks are worth the extra effort of pedalling up the hills. 32 mm wide tires should give enough shock absorption at the front without adding too much weight.

Thanks. I am typing with one finger cause I have a one month old in my lap, so excuse the errors. I did not think the fork would be worth the extra money either. Rockshox seatpost shocks are expensive though.

I commute on both types. The front shocks make a very nice difference going over bumps, taking the edge off. On my commute there are more bumps than I care about and I wish all my bikes would go as smoothly over said bumps. As for the weight - if you lug food, emergency repair stuff and clothes around, on a rack etc then that does not count toward all that much. You're not going to set uphill speed records, are you? So don't worry too much about weight.

Seatpost shock? I can't say I feel any diffs there.
