    I've got a womens Bh mountain bike and i'm wondering can i adjust the front suspension preferably to a rigid setting ? There's a cap on top of the forks which i got off but thought there might be some allen key adjustment inside but there's nothing no springs nothing, put a long screw driver down to see if it'd meet anything but there doesn't seem to be anything in there.

    Does this mean i can't adjust the forks ?

    It looks like you've got a distinctly entry-level bike on your hands. The forks on bikes like that are often useless, to say nothing of the adjustments. I'd say it is probably effectively unadjustable.

    Yes it is a entry level bike alright was only 300 odd quid a few yrs ago.

    Looks like the only option then is to buy new forks :eek:

    Great excuse to buy a new bike though! ;). Maybe you should just fork out a get a rigid fork - after all, you want a rigid fork.
