I've used one of those VCLS split posts on my Mason for road ultras for a while. Bit of a faff but I miss it when I went back to the Thomson for a bit. I now have an eeSilk on it for reasons I can't recall (it was on the gravel bike).
Canyon openly admitted with the new Grail last week that the double decker bars were a complete failure. They are stiffer everywhere but cruising in the tops, which obviously no one does when riding Serious Gravel.
you have creaking/slipping problems with the vcls post? i had one for a while but thing could not perform the core function of a seatpost despite being overtorqued.
I'm armchair dissing it now but I've lost a disc in the lower back at 26 I'm probably gonna end up experimenting with every form of suspension out there by 30. Gets a bit sore after 8h or so
Ah yeah I'm being daft, I'm incapable of thinking in terms of technology I can't afford.
Hope you have a skin tight flannel to go with the bookshelf bars and chickenhead post
