Just remembered I posted this and thought I’d give it a bump.
We spent 2 days riding in the FOD and the kids are now riding bits of the red trails fairly well. It gave me a chance to see what they would benefit from.
I’m sure we don’t need on the fly adjustment. We tend to stop at the tops and bottoms of sections and that is when we adjust their saddles. So under the saddle levers would be fine.
If they aren’t heavy enough to drop the post then it’ll be easier for me to lean on the saddles than faff with gritted up quick release levers.
Both bikes are 27.2mm.
What are the budget brands on ebay I should be looking for? I’ve seen tranzX and exaform on the german websites.
Are there new ones in the £30-50 price range? I’d probably only fit them for ‘proper’ rides and use the standard posts when we’re pootling around to extend the lifespan a bit…
Cheers for any tips etc…
