At present I have a 408 rear hub on a hardtail Huffy After riding only about 100 mile this last summer I feel its time for something not so hard on my back, on these rough rural Vermont roads. Its not much fun feeling like a bag of broken glass at the end of each ride
I know there are a few things I can do to smooth out the ride, such as, a suspension seatpost and fatty tires. But, how does it compare to a bike with full suspension, as far as comfort and add control at higher speeds, especially if you plan on doing some trailer towing around town. Can you tow light loads with rear suspension?
I'm also planning to add 408 front hub, for the extra power I need to tow and climb the hard pack dirt road up to camp, 2 miles flat paved, 3 miles dirt with a 1200ft elevation for town Roads are rougher riding than a camptown lady, including the paved
Just thought I'd get some feedback from those of you that have made the switch, to full suspension from a hardtail bike frame, to weigh the pros and cons before investing more money in this project
