Road Bike Components Comparison
aluminum bicycle comparison?
2 bicyckes, assuming both aluminum, same gearing, same components
A has front suspension, seat suspension, 700 x 28 tires
B has no suspension, but a carbon fork, and has 700 x 35 tires of same tread
Which bike would give a more comfortable ride on mainly pavement & which bike can one theorectically go faster on a 30 mile jaunt on the roads
thanks

It a real energy and speed drain. If you want more comfort, then the wider tires will provide both comfort and stability…. but, make sure that they are smooth, not knobby like a mtn bike.
