What straps/suspension system do you recommend?

The strap design to be strong and safe for hanging a hammock to the tree. you have to the strap separately online.

I don't use anything fancy, nylon straps from the hardware store work fine looped around a tree and attached with the included carabiners.

The BOB Flex should be a good choice for you. Adjustable handlebar is what they mean by "flex".

The straps aren't adjustable, but they have knobs attached to lengthen or shorten the suspension system.

They have a handle bar mount and chest strap. I've used the chest strap which worked fine.

Sorry I never replied here -- but here's a link to some photos of the strap setup (scroll down to the bottom of the discussion):http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=440646

Measure the existing link. We had the sport suspension and yes I agree. I had to return a set

I can further confirm others' comments about the shock mount. The elastics in mine broke and I've had to hack something together with rubber bands!Can anyone suggest a good replacement shock mount--or just a regular mount as, in my situation, the "shock" aspect is overkill.

This system comes with pads AND straps. The one reviewer must have either been confused as to which product he ordered or he received the wrong item. This package includes the FCS Premium tie-down straps with D-ring.

Anytime you drop a inch or two there will be a stiffer ride but with the progressive mono tube, Definitely not stiffer but absolutely better in all riding conditions. Best system out there.

The installation is pretty straight forward. It probably took a couple of hours to install. I actually returned them, due to they were too stiff at the lowest setting. I typically ride solo, but even with the wive on backof my bke, they were a little too stiff for me. I did buy the Progressive Suspension 422 non-adjustable shocks and am happy with them.

I actually ended up not using them and went with a set of m2 lowering springs. The ride with these springs is as good or better than factory. They are available on amazon.

Well, would you rather wear a noose around your neck as a safety feature or a seat belt across your body? :) I'd strongly suggest getting a harness. Amazon has some nice choices for harnesses.

I would go with Pure Fix pedals or possibly Origin8 pedals. These straps are nice and heavy duty and would work best with a wide print pedal. I used them on a fairly small pedal and had to get a little creative... but they work great and made my fixie ten times easier to ride! Pure Fix rocks!

it does not have suspension straps or ropes. You can make these yourself if you have some rope. Use something that can support about 200 pounds or more. I have used something like boot laces even doubled over. If you want to get something fancy like wide straps that wont "hurt" the tree bark you should be able to find these here on amazon.

Yeah no problem, but you'll need the appropriate hardware, this only comes the the nylon strap looped back on itself with nylon hardware. Not that you asked, but thought I'd mention that this sling is UBER-cool. I have it on an Arsenal AK and it supports is weight while "at the ready" comfortably. Who knows? If the inept government we have keeps doing what it does a societal collapse might actually force me to get practice using it defending my elderly parents from the hungry masses! :-( Glad it's so comfortable! :-) GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

Front suspension... No issues or problems at all. Kids just don't weigh much compared to the variance in the weight of adults...
