Am curious if anyone here has a gravel suspension fork like the SRAM XPLR or Fox 32 TC and how you would compare it to a hard tail mountain bike fork?
Am registered for Leadville and started educating myself a bit more about the course, it seems like the best bike is considered a hard tail mountain bike, possibly with road handlebars if you don't mind having a frankenbike. I don't have a hard tail, so wondering if buying a suspension fork for my gravel bike would be better than my dual suspension MTB (which also only has one water bottle cage, so will necessitate a hydration pack).
Separately, any opinion on the usefulness of a dropper post for the course?
