Not sure about that post but being able to drop your saddle on the fly is very useful. It makes techy up-and-down trails flow better, and faster.

The best thing to happen to my riding in a very long time.
do you use that on yr fly or turner?

and more importantly, what color boot did you select?

I have one, picked it up last year. I love it. Sure it looks pretty dumb but at 15 bucks it was a hell of a lot cheaper than a Gravity Dropper. This post was all the rage for riders in the mid nineties. The one I got was brand new.

Thats old school (if you don't count those rideheight spring things), I remember seeing that in MBA in the mid 90s I think?

The Turner for now. I'll probably get a shim so I can use it on the Fly for long rides that include pedaling uphill.

They were sold out of hot pink so I went black...

i used to have one of those "Height Rite" springs on my post.

As for teh gravity dropper , SloMoJo had one on his bike for a while while he liked teh concept , it just was Never right and he eventually sent it back.

pretty cool and simpler than the gravity dropper-every review I read included how great they were

From what I see, the seat height is adjusted thru an arc [moving foward/backward as well as up/down]. Is this correct? How is that not annoying as hell? :confused:
