I've been riding a couple of bikes recently with dropper posts, and to be honest don't really get much benefit from them, for the type of riding I do. This is partly due to my lankiness, partly because I'm alright at descending, and mostly because I'm not going to be hitting any super gnarly downhill stuff on this hardtail anyway. I just wanted to keep it simple and clean, I suppose.
This photo of me on my rigid 29er xc bike kind of demonstrates my point.
