    Today was looking at a old Triumph speed twin and a fellow biker pointed out oh it has a sprung hub I personally have never heard of such a thing, I wonder what sort of ride would that give ??

    Better than a 'rigid'.
    Not as good as a plunger'.
    Worse than a 'twin shock'.
    Worserer than a 'monoshock'.
    Pretty rubbish really and they take some setting up - allegedly. But better than nowt - just!

    about as good as using a school type rubber eraser as a shock absorber.lol
    if you have been raised on modern ish bikes it will be an eye opener and maybe bring tears to em as well
