Perfect. That's something I can understand. Thanks for the simple explanation.
The road I'm riding over is pretty smooth for the most part. But with the 7.2, when I went over wooden bridges, I could feel it. Same when I would cross a street for the 1 mile I have to ride to get to the bike trail. I'm hoping all that should be much smoother with the 7.5.
I know how I am. I'd rather spend the $400 now than have it in the back of my mind and a few months down the road keep thinking 'I should have bought the 7.5'.
