Do you drive a car with only one gear and no suspension as well? I’ve heard it’s a much more pure and engaging experience.
Do you drive a car with a dropper post, 780mm bars, and 160mm of trail slaying travel? No of course not; this is a flawed argument 😉 . I think you’re missing the point somewhat Grum.
I agree with Podge.
As a second bike for me for short blasts round the woods, occasional commuting, and slogs through our local winter slop a rigid steel hardtail makes a perfect addition to the shed. You’d be surprised how much it has also improved your riding when you get back on the full-susser too 😈
