dont overthink...
you pedal the bike goes, with the stock suspension a lot of movement in the suspension reduces this power transfer

Ahh...that makes sense and I can visualize that idea ...thank you...I will get one and it will look rather snazzy too.

There's overthinking, and there's underthinking.
I stuggle to imagine a suspension system with zero damping giving a plush ride, Moulton knew more than anyone about suspension and used 'just an elastomer'.
I agree that replacing stock with a stiff / solid suspension block can improve the bike for some use cases, but don't think a spring is a great solution.

Is it not Force through pedals= forward movement? However my physics O level was in 1972!
