Are you trying to say that loer pressure tyres are faster than higher pressure tyres? This is counter to anything i have seen or read [ i acept you know more than me and are more current] so have you got any links as I thiought drag always increased as the pressure dropsfeel' slower perhaps, but they[ lowere pressure tyres] won't be - or at least there doesn't seem to be any evidence that they will be slower, more the opposite.
I can accept it might be so marginal that for non racers its worth doign but
You sure it was not for comfort and grip was a pleasant side effect?the prime function of suspension is maintaining 'grip' and comfort is largely a pleasant side effect
It gives you suspension on the bars - you may not want it [ neiother do i tbh] but its clearly over and beyond what the bike and frame alone offerOther than provide a(nother) retail opportunity what does it do that a correctly sized and setup bike does not?
