Brand Road Fork
Bicycle question: Trek 7000 vs 7200?
Hi
I am looking to buy a starter bike that will mostly handle bike trails/roads, however that being said there are quite a few bumps/uneven roads. I liked the 7200 because it was comfortable but have heard there are lots of drawbacks to a front suspension such as 1) maintenance and wear 2) much more weight for uphill climb 3) unnecessary bounce with uphill climb and with setting upright off seat. I was told that the lower end hybrid with suspension forks have the cheapest forks so they are less reliable and most sites who state they love the bikes are from folks who just bought the bikes
1. Any input on suspension forks on 7200
2. Suggestions on how to improve ride on 7000 without getting the fork
3. Any other bikes/brands, perhaps ones with fork lockout on a hybrid
thanks
You don't need shocks on paved surfaces, the 7000 has a suspension seat post that will smooth most small bumps out. If you ride bike trails that are rough get the 7200 with shocks. If the 7000 rides a little rough you can always change the tire pressure or change to wider tires. I ride a hybrid without shocks on rail trails and the rough spots are a pain where the horses tear it up. The tires are 700 X 35 on the 7000 you could go to 700 X 40 if you have a problem. The shocks on the 7200 have a preload adjustment and only 50mm movement so it wouldn't be too bad on hills.
