[RBW] Smooth Factor of lighter rim brake steel forks
Today’s ride, like many of mine, is roughly equal parts paved, dirt, and trail. Compass tires cush the whole ride, but the front fork absorbs a lot of the bigger bumps on dirt and trail. I’ve noticed this for a while, but on the (now really bad) wash board dirt road sections, the fork is compliant and absorbing. This led me to ponder a number of questions I toss out to see where they go... — Would a stiffer (because they have to be) disk brake fork absorb as much? — How much of the “required” mindset for shock absorption on gravel and MTB bikes is the result of disk brakes requiring a stiffer fork? (I suspect marketing and “latest gen tech” mentality is likely the biggest factor).
