I tried my HT with a rigid fork and then with a suspension fork…I'm back on
the rigid fork. The rigid front end is lighter and easier to loft. Ultimately
it's the rigid rear that's what limits how fast I go not the front so I don't
feel particularly held back with the rigid fork.
I use that bike mostly for bikepacking. Everytime I take it out on our trails
I come back wishing I had taken out a FS bike.
I started riding rigid MTBs because that's all there were. I guess I got that
out of my system because I am not nostalgic for those times.
