Thanks to
OF for such a great reply.
One question - will a bike with softer suspension have more weight transfer on braking or will it be the same as on a bike without suspensions or with stiff suspensions?
I thought a softer suspension leads to more weight transfer (whether it is more than needed is debatable). Please correct me if I am wrong here.
And regarding trail braking what you said is what I had in mind, but you put it much better in words. Trail braking loads up the front and hence aids cornering. A softer suspension will transfer more weight to the front and aid in trail braking (no?).
And no guys, no ego clashes here!
