Just wondering how you guys use your Reverb.
Further to an earlier post, and a reply by another member, I am thinking of linking my suspension lockout to the height of my seat. Ie when the seat is raised the suspension locks out and visa versa.
In practice do think this would work?
Nice theory, but I think not. Plenty of times you want the saddle up, but the suspension to keep working - any sort of rough climb for instance.
I use my Reverb like gears, regularly changing seat height as the trail changes. I change my seat height many, many more times on a typical ride than I do suspension damping/lockout. I think it would be frustrating and impractical to have my lockout and seat height linked.
I've read its possible to link the front gear lever to the dropper. So if running 1x? You can make use of an unused front lever.
I'd like to link max saddle height to my Bos TRC if that were an option, but I definitely wouldn't want to do the same with full lock-out.
Never... never ever... I rekon I move it up and down once per ride.
I move it lots, it's not correlated to gear or suspension setting though
mines up and down like a whores drawers.
Nah, not for me - there's times when I need the seat down and suspension working actively and vice versa - even Biocon who strive to make a bike that's got two distinctive modes left the seatpost out of the equation
Only use mine too make it easy to get on and off the bike 😉
Depends on the bike ime
Four bikes and two posts
One combo gets used as much as the brakes
another allows the bike + rider to tackle obstacles beyond their capability
Another one is nice but not essential
The fourth bike simply doesn't need one
Up and down all the time, and at all kinds of heights depending on terrain. Lock out - never use it. Though until recently I've never had any kind of lock out anyway, until recent Pike purchase for the hard tail, but I still don't use it.
Lock out on forks to me would only be of use if I climb out of the seat and are inducing a lot of bob, which I generally don't. Even if I climb out of seat I don't bob much and I wouldn't be sitting so seat height doesn't matter.
The seat goes down when I want it out of the way.
The seat comes when I want to sit on it and pedal.
Simple.
I wouldn't want my seat position to be linked my suspension's settings.
