Regardless of the looks of the thing, how well will the bushes in the dropper hold up to fore/aft loading with that actual seat tube angle? Most droppers don't like going down with a bit of weight on the nose, so this must be mental.

Saw that as soon as I posted it. But the question is still valid.

The effective seat angle is 75 degrees

Yeah but he still has a valid question, the seatpost is leant back at way less than 75 degrees

Hmmm.... Missed this.

As for the dropper, if it's a brand X it would probably be ok. If not, it will break.Lol😉
