The Bicyclopedia seems to think that the frame is the most expensive part of the bicycle.
The infernal suspension forks on 3 out of 4 of the bikes in my garage would beg to differ, both in upfront cost and ongoing maintenance.
- loloquwowndueo 1y agoA non-suspension fork is ok for 95% of people and likely cheaper than a matching frame, less material and a simpler shape. Also - my suspension fork is 20 years old, has never had maintenance and is working fine. What do you do to yours? :) (Or maybe my fork is NOT fine and I just don’t know it…)
- mc3301 1y agoA fairly common story for people with a fork that has never had maintenance: 1. "It works fine" 2. Get a shop to rebuild it for a surprisingly low fee 3. "Holy smokes, I had no idea my fork could be this good!" Basically, a quick rebuild (yourself or a shop) is definitely worth it.
