I'm enjoying having gone back to riding singlespeed but I do feel like I'm getting a bit beaten up on my bike and wonder if some suspension would help.
Could just do a fork, or even a stem like a Redshift (I'd quite like to bodge a Girvin Flextem for shorter reach and ahead compatibility) but maybe instead of going in for a penny I should just go in for a pound and try a full sus.
I normally hate tensioners on singlespeeds but for some reason, on a full sus bike I'm not too mad at it.
So what do you think? Ruins the simplicity of singlespeed or worth a bash?
Yeah, there’s a pre-disc one on eBay that has ugly af dropouts. I think there’s a sliding dropout disc version that I’d be into but finding one is probably going to be like finding a needle in a haystack.
Maybe a better build would distract from the dropouts on the eBay one…
Full sus singlespeed...opinions?
