Fixed Forks: Saving Your Wrists!

  I'm not a fan of shocks on a bike. Here is an old simple trick I learned years ago while driving pedal taxi.  This tire shown below is what I consider a balloon tire. Its a Kenda "KWEST" 26x1.95.  I found running a larger tire at a LOWER tire pressure gives a smoother ride to my wrists and palms of my hands.  My rear tire pressure is 80psi and I run my front tire at 50psi.
  Picture me rolling!
