Thanks maybe I'll get one to try.

I didn't know of that syntace before. Interesting too.

yeah the syntace is great - super dependable and a 10 year warranty!
have had no issues running it hard and attaching bags to it

That post was on my list from this article few years ago. I think Lael Wilcox mentioned using one as well

At the time it was spendy and I couldn't find any stockists. I ended up getting the Spesh COBL GOBLR instead. I now have an eeSilk on my gravel bike which I like. Thinking about getting one for the hardtail too. Tempted to try the bigger shock posts (Thudbuster) but worried about the amount of movement they'd have during actual pedaling (that 1% of time I'm not walking or coasting)

It was Lael, in TransAm, she regretted NOT using her Syntace post:
