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.
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.
