I went rigid cause I cracked my forks and thought it would be the way to go (cheaper). It was easily the best upgrade I've ever done. I'll never go back to suspension.
You obviously don't have that "safety buffer" of suspension when you stuff up something big but you learn how to compensate for it.
It took me for ever to convince my mate to switch to rigid and now he thanks me all the time for pushing him to change.
do you think i should get a white rigid fork or black cuz i really cant decide anymore lol... i dont want to much white cuz i have white bars now but both would look good i think
