minus-squareHelixDab2@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoHa. Fair point. No, this was the kind of suspension where they put hooks through your skin, and then hoist you above the ground by the hooks. (I do ride, but only street bikes. And IMO, for street bikes, unless you track your bike regularly, your stock suspension is likely just fine.)
