Anyone riding anything like this? 🙂

My rigid has a pretty big tyre in it, that works.
I've got a flexy carbon bottom

Not like this now though, has a USE SUB on the front. Rode very nicely with rigids, but my wrists didn't like it!
is that yours xcstu?
I have a salsa dos niner and it's sublime.
I often run the forks locked out at 20mm travel. This combined with the rear 25mm makes for a really nice micro sus bike. Takes out all the small buzz but leaves the big stuff for you to "man" over.
psychie.. no not mine 🙂

I treated myself to a Van Nich Ti seat post for my Ti29er the other day.
Why oh why did I wait so long to do it!? It's sublime. Turns the bike into a virtual softail. Nicely damped too - doesnt want to pitch you off. Ive had cheap Al alloy posts, thomsons, carbon fibre, none of them compare.
My two ... both fantastic and ride quite differently

how much travel do you usually get on a soft tail? 1"?

Depends, a mate at Uni had a trek sofftail, there was at least 3" of side-toside play in the back end too ... quite unnerving following him down a techy descent, as the bike flexed its way [u]round[/u] the rocks ...

Ye! 1 inch is your lot, but with the Salsa, they tell you to inflate around 120 lbs which then only gives you half of an inch!
1.5" (and touch more with a Cane Creek shock) on my Global and 1" on the Dekerf. I'd have thought anymore and the b/b-stays would come undone 😕
Aus - can you please stop posting up that photo of the dekerf 😉 n+1 forumla kicking in and I've got no space for another one!
it's nice slim tubing so am sure you could squeeze one in!
