Will they knacker my uppy downy rockshox seatpost? i.e. do any of them secure the bike via the seatpost/saddle?
No - mixture of front wheel and top tube hooks.
No, ran mine there las year and as is said above, front wheel and top tube.
I'd put a nice big bit of heli tape around your top tube if i were you 🙂
I run my hose along the underside of my top tube, will it get knackered?

No more than on a car rack.
And if that will kill it, you've other things to worry about...
Worried about bike damage in les Arcs? The lifts are the least of your troubles. It's pretty much guaranteed.
Dinnae be too precious out there mind or you won't have any fun.
I was going to take the post off if it was an issue. Bike doesn't go on car racks as it gets chucked straight in the boot. It is used to the inners uplift and making it's own way down the hill without me so not too precious.
good stuff thanks for the feedback!
I've got a solution......pedal you wimp!
Most of the best riding in Les Arcs isn't lift accessed anyway, more backcountry terrain than you can shake a marmot at

@jonke - this is all you need to know.
and FYI inners has NOTHING on the terrain at les arcs - its steeper , more tech , more rocky bike denting than any terrain ive ridden in the uk ......
LOVE THE PLACE !
I'd take the dropper off and put a normal post in for the trip. Seat will be slammed for 99% of the riding.
Depends how you like your saddle when descending I suppose, I like to get mine well out of the way for the steep stuff.
As said , lifts are all top tube or front wheel mounts.
Hey Mr Plow - you off to Les Arc? Very jealous - you'll love the place. Drop me an email if you want some ideas of routes etc.
You doing any Gravity Enduros this year?

Can you elaborate on this? Going out in June and would like to ride some of the backcountry stuff.
fbk - Heading out with the Whiteroom who I think do some riding in that area as part of their singletrack week.
Not signed up for any racing yet. The Inners gravity enduro clashes with a stag do. Might do the Tweedlove enduro as it looks a little different and still relatively local. Can also be raced in a day as I am struggling to book full weekends between other commitments. Hope your keeping well and enjoy the events.
