Is it better to ride a MTB with suspension fork or undersized MTB without on the road?
I’m doing some long rides, and I have a well-fitting Gary Fisher Big Sur with suspension fork, and an older, undersized Univega Alpina Uno with a traditional fixed fork. Which would be better to do long road rides towing a trailer? (and yes, I know the right answer is get a Road Bike. Downtube broke last week and is being repaired).
Use the bike that fits. I would be inclined to set the pre-load on the suspension fork pretty high to minimize bounce while standing and climbing. The only other disadvantage is the weight, but fit is definitely more important than weight.

Team manager Mauro Gianetti has played down reports there is a risk of Geox and TMC quitting the sport even before the team rides its first race, and has denied he is under pressure to sell the team after failing to secure a ProTeam license for 2011.
