• Do you normally run it at full height on MTB rides? Where do you normally ride? Just intrigued. Also have you run one before? I assume must be a decent rider having a DH bike.

  • My mtbs always had the saddle at full height. When I lived in Scotland I was riding at Mabie, Ae, Dalbeattie etc, and rode anywhere I could find when I was younger. I just never even thought about dropping my saddle.
    My DH bikes were lower because they only went downhill. But any of my other mtbs had the saddle at full height all the time.
    I barely get to touch dirt these days though as I'm always working. But I think if I was building this Starling I'd also have put a rigid post on it.

  • Fair enough. Some ace places to ride. Last time I rode with someone on a standard post was on a group ride over Risca, Machen. It was a faff as we kept having to wait for them to put their post up and down. Dude was a very good rider though.
