Not sure which Kendas they are but BG and Nev's worked great for me in snow, although, to be fair you can't really call that snow ๐Ÿ˜‰

Its the fire road up to the top of Lockerbrook after teh dam.
Frame is fine as is - seat post is long as i have long legs and a short body - any issue with that??.
Hose will be shortened tomorrow when the olives/inerts can be picked up.
And as a teacher i am sued to being out "traveling" in the snow ๐Ÿ˜‰

Don't think there is that much seat post extension showing really.

On those giants, do you have to have an adjustable post to be able to drop the seat post or can you drop it a bit with the quick release? It's never clear from pictures how much you can drop it with that kink in the seat tube.

I can drop mine a fair bit, not fully in, but enough for me.

Think thats pretty much full in. Thats with a full length seat post, I could cut it down a bit if I felt the need.
