I bought a hybrid bike a few years ago that came with a super-cheapo (coil) suspension fork. I didn't really care either way: I bought the bike because it was cheap and a good fit.

However, recently I have been commuting every day with it (close to an hour per day). Roads here are horrible, so tons of crazy-bumpy riding.

I don't care about how well (or even if at all) the suspension fork works, but I do care if it might break in some non-graceful way while riding.

Am I right to worry? Do these things break in some bad way, or do they just stop providing any suspension?

Thanks!
