I have a suntour linkage spring suspension post on my ebike. I find it essential for going faster than 20km/h.

The biggest factor for an ebike is your motor assist level. Basically, the less force you apply to the pedals, the less bob you get, and more of your body weight is on supported by the saddle.

Having said that, a suspension post will change your bike geometry. A linkage post will slack back a bit when you sit on the saddle, which would be a problem if you already have your saddle slammed all the way to the front.

Anyway, I do agree that you should start with changing to bigger tyres

    something something quacks like a duck, swins like a duck, it's a duck. The steam machine does swim like a duck behave like what is commonly referres to as a game console. The steamroller is debatable tho.

    The steam machine:

    • Custom hardware
    • Custom software and os
    • Specifically designed to play games
    • Has a dedicated controller
    • Designed to work well with a living room TV (HDMI-CEC)

    The only difference between the steam machine and other consoles is that it's not locked down

    He basically dug up the entire riverbed. That isn’t something people should just be doing ad-hoc.

    Fully agree, but there seems to be no better alternative.

    Powlesland told the Guardian he’s asked the agency numerous times to clean the river, but it’s been ignoring him for years.
