Jon. in reply to @ltc

I used to ride Bullitts with no suspension, used to break spokes regularly. I've never broken a spoke on a much heavier Urban Arrow with suspension. Obviously there's loads of other factors but the suspension probably helps! Having said that, as mentioned previously, the stock forks are fucking shit.

I've ridden both, seen loads of broken spokes on both. It's more down to the wheel build (and the rider) than the suspension imo.

Same feelings as Max on those motion labs chains. Think the cost was equivalent to 3 or 4 regular drivetrains you can easily source spares for.

Yeah, all valid. I'm definitely more cautious about breaking spokes than I used to be (not least because I'd be the one that has to fix them now.). Also, the Bullitts feel a lot more manoeuvrable so more tempting to chuck up and down curbs.
