The question was regarding suspension posts, not a how to guide on getting your butt off the saddle. No wonder people get sick of forums. They ask a simple question and some smart arse has to make a sarcastic reply
I don't believe it was sarcastic, and it was put politely enough.
And fundamentally its correct. A decent technique will yield far greater benefits than a pogo post. Why not politely advise someone of that?
The OP appears to have read it, and having considered that viewpoint has decided that its not for him, and has in turn said so politely enough,,so what's the problem?
So long as its politely and reasonably put its perfectly acceptable to promote an alternative,
yet still relevant, piece of advice and last time I checked Cougie needed neither your permission nor approval to do so.
For my own part I agree with Cougie. While they can take the edge off their effect is nowhere near as good as simple technique, and you lose a fair degree of control with so much mass bobbing up and down at gravity's command rather than your own.
Nevertheless, if one absolutely must have one I would suggest a paralleogram type over the telescopic variety, something like the Suntour SP12-NCX if one can find one. They tend to give a smoother action, are less prone to wear and unwanted fore-afte play than the teles, and the elastomer gives a degree of progressive risng-rate that a coil spring can't emulate.
It would help a little if we knew what size post was needed, as not all are available in all the common diameters.
Let us know how you get on BM.
