A stiffer fork will transfer power better

since when does a fork transfer power?

i have stupid high end crap on my bike. honestly it doesn't make too much of a difference. biggest difference i fell is carbon fork smoothing out bumps and road buzz, and tires. i threw some pro race 3s on my friends windsor clockwork for a bit and cleaned his chain, felt much nicer than with the stock kenda garbage tires.

that's just for bike feel. then you have other important upgrades like better foot retention and saddle, but that wouldn't really change short range feel as much in my opinion as a properly maintained drivetrain and good tires.
