There’s no need of super high end suspension components unless you have the skills to exploit them. Few have those skills. Some do but not me, and I’m not alone.
Well...I'm certainly not in the knee-dragger category nor do I want a bike set-up for that. My explicit instructions were that I ride on the street and mostly at sane speeds. I have no desire to trade off my 95% use for a 5% desire although I am hoping to do one track event this year. It is more of a safety/skills class than a "how fast can I go" class.
