Having ridden a Norco Threshold around my neighbourhood a bit, I can attest to the fact that some form of cushion from the rough roads is a good thing. I think I had 40 c tires which were ok for the pea gravel highways but the logging roads are brutal on skinny tires. What would you think of popping on 650 wheels with fatter rubber? Like a 2.1 or whatever would fit in a frame and fork? Certainly more simple that any form of suspension but would it be enough to replicate a FS2 or short travel fork?
