• I'm considering adding front suspension to my rigid hardtail primarily for comfort on long, bumpy rides like the GDMBR or XWA. Despite a good bike fit (I think) that takes weight off my hands, they still get numb on long rides, probably due to nerve sensitivity from computer use. Most reviews focus on performance for aggressive riders. For someone prioritizing comfort, is front suspension worthwhile? If so, which forks would you recommend?

• Flat pedal shoes that have a wider toe box, are there any good options to try? I’m wearing Brooks Cascadia because flat pedal shoes feel too narrow.
