Nah they are a must, as its a fucking faff putting you post up and down, especially when its muddy. Ha.
Everything is preference, I know you're yanking my crank as well which is fine, but there is a reason we don't see 26inch wheels, v brakes and standard posts on most MTBs now.

don't see 26inch wheels

This is something I've wondered about. Is there really that much difference between 26" and 27.5"?

(I realise all associated parts are now much harder to find so it's basically a moot question)

I am going to say yes but it's subjective. It's just smoother and I think you can feel the increased contact patch.

I would happily ride a 29 or 27.5 as my main MTB but I wouldn't go back to 26 for general MTB unless I had to. I run Mullet now which is by far my preferred.
