Just needs to fall maybe 80mm to be out of the way. For a trailbike and rides it is super cool to drop the post while having a chin wag then pop it up when you get going. Lady trail runners dig it And having a chin wag session is the reason we ride, is it not? I am dropping mine out of habit when I dismount as it is just so much less effort to swing tired and hurting legs over the seat in the raised position. And ja, after a good ascent, or even descent, I am just plonking down on the lowered seat to have a good ole' gesels with whoever is near.

Often I call a ride and mention 4 x southern cross drive to lookout threshold intervals. When I get to Southern Cross I'm there waiting but nobody pitches so then I have to chinwag with Virtual partner. Garmin is good for something I guess. I dunno what's up with no pitching story. Cape Townians are always late but this 8am for 8h30 stretching to no show is getting a bit much Jewbacca 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also find that changing height on long flats help ease the muscles. (Just 1/2cm or so up or down) Definitely, flats with some rocky bouncy bits n roots, slightly down helps alot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well then perhaps a longer stem Easier than trying to source a setback dropper, some internet searches said specialized made them previously but I haven't seen it anywhere.
