At the risk of insulting people, I only know one person who rides techy terrain well without dropping his saddle a little, and he is truly talented.

To really get the most fun from a ride, I need the saddle slightly down for lumpy stuff, up for longer climbs and out of the way for steeper, dafter rolls and descents.
Most of the riding I do is like this. Before, it was all a compromise, now its always perfect 🙂

My mate loaned me a GD to try out on my Niner.
Not my cup of tea. Can appreciate why folk want them though.
Wasn't the functionality at all, it was the ride...it made the ride stiff. Std Thomson post must flex a bit.
