Suspension Fork on Merida T1 Speeder

[Dario]

Hi Guys, don't know if this is a relevant thread but i want to change the fork on my Merida T1 Speeder.
Because now i use this bike only on the city i need a suspension.
Please give me an advice if the fork can be changed, if yes please suggest me some options.

Thanks a lot.

it probably can but my advice is dont! why bother. its a costly and technical thing to do and will make the bike sluggish and heavy. the clues in the name, speeder!

I bought my Speeder S1 for daily commuting on London roads and put 35C (standard is 32C) puncture resistant tyres on. I'd avoid suspension and put larger tyres on and maybe run the pressures slightly lower than "to the max!". When I first got it the M+ London tyres (max 85psi) were on about 70psi instead of currently at 80 and it felt amazingly compliant.
