I like girders more than springers myself, but I think it's purely a personal preference there... If you ask biker he'll tell you girders perform better, and from the way he explained it I have no reason to disagree. I think it's because all the moving parts, aside from the springs/shocks themselves, is rotational motion, so you don't get the stiction of telescoping forks, and I think they allow more travel and better adjustment options than a springer. But I could be wrong
