Hey gang. I've been riding more and more (about 60 miles a week) and have been making comfort related upgrades to my setup. Recently I've picked up a padded saddle, some nice grips, mountain biking shoes, and just yesterday a Redshift Suspension seat post. All of these upgrades have been game changers, but the real star of the show is the suspension seat post. I just got home from my first ride with it and I have never been so comfortable on a bike. It's actually a bit unnerving, albeit in a good way, when I feel a large bump in my bars (I ride a Trek FX 3 Gen 3 with no front suspension) and don't feel that same bump \at all** in the rear.
It's kind of blowing my mind and prompting me to think about suspension in a way I hadn't before. It makes me want to ask; do you guys ride with a front fork suspension? After todays ride with the seatpost suspension, I find myself thinking "that same cushioning effect in my bars would be reaaaally nice". I looked at a few posts in some other cycling subs, and it seems lots of people say it's a bad idea due to the extra weight and the cost associated with getting a good one. But that sub really cares about weight… What is yall's experience? Worth it? Total game changer like my seat post suspension?
