I run my front Kenda Kwest around 80 psi. That seems to be about the
right balance. Most of the weight is on the rear. If I had to pick one
wheel to suspend, it would be the rear.

Subject: [BikeE] Front suspension?



I've got a CT2.0, and I'm having a hard time finding the balance
between lower tire pressure in the front to soften the blows of every
little bump and the efficiency of 100psi. I don't want to go out and
buy an RX. Has anyone heard of somebody modifying a 26" mt bike shock
for a 16" (or even 20") wheel? What's the steerer tube length of the
standard forks, and is it a standard 1 1/8" diameter? I can get used
forks on e-bay for $20 or so, so I don't feel bad about re-welding a
fork, but I also don't want to re-invent the wheel...
