Personal preference and depends on your riding style and what you will be riding.

For park and abit of street go rigid but for more street and dirt go sus at 80mm or 100 mm. I would agree it is easier to pull up with a rigid.

Advantage, there ridgid, and lighter.
Disadvantage, theres no suspension....

Why does this need its own thread?
Next time please dj/street discusion thread or the quick question.

i think get some hard suspension, preferably air.

rigids mess up the frames geo and i dunno they just look ugly on most bikes,

some look okay with it though. one thing that i will say is that rigids are alot cheaper, and if they break aint gonna cost an arm and a leg to fix, you just get new ones. also, rigids dont need to be serviced every 6 months

theres advantages and disadvantages for both really. So just try a rigid out and if you dont like it just stick with sus.
Personal prefrence.

Is it your concern whether someone makes a fresh thread to ask? Usually people get ignored on the quick question threads hence why they make their own thread.

well the quick question thread is now so long people just dont care, and people cant be bother to keep going trough pages and pages. nothing wrong with a new thread that is what forums are for after all.

one word of advice \, dont judge parts or anything for that matter, based on its looks, makes you seem childish, and people on the interwebz will call you a gearwhore.
