Either one goes nicely with a gel saddle.
Watch how they iron out the cross country bumps.

Helluva review there Leigh! Btw your dog thinks you`re away with the fairies!!
On a serious note how much higher does the suntour raise the saddle over the sus. post? My saddle on a sus post is right down almost touching the frame.

Thanks Leigh, great video, note there's a little side play in the seastpost, is that due to wear?

It's a 27.2mm seatpost fitted into a 30.9 seat tube, using a shim. Hence the slight wiggle. Very secure and virtually unnoticeable whilst riding.
Here's the pics I promised. Showing max. height and then lowest height, suntour seatpost, with a rack fitted.

Good video. I would have loved to use the suntour suspension on my bike but the rear pannier bag would get in the way. In that case I had to use the standard seat post suspension which is not as good as yours but at least better than nothing.

Leighping, thanks you have been such a great help, have ordered the suntour one now and like you will have to shim from 27.2 to 30.9, hopefully will have it before the weekend as I enjoy cycling canal towpaths which can be a bit bumpy!It's a 27.2mm seatpost fitted into a 30.9 seat tube, using a shim.

LeighPing, can I not be rude and add to that? Better still it is best to measure up twice before purchasing. Even a well skilled carpenter would say, measure twice cut once, and ever since learning this type of method to do a task takes me twice as long. We never seem to winYou're welcome. Make sure that you measure up correctly before purchasing. Enjoy.

Kinninvie, that is an EXCELLENT point because when I first got mine, the standard version after about 10 rides I noticed it had stop springing. I wonder why?

It could well be true. Ebiking can give you triathlete's butt syndrome. I know that things have tightened up a bit. Guys and gals, take note. It worked for me down there. Maybe it will work for you too.Here is LeighPing's answer to you. 'Forget about the wear,I am sexy and I know it'.
Now, I just need a gadget to improve my six pack..
