It is very common that after trying any improvement in our bike we "get used to it
quickly," and we do not know how to ride without improvement. A clear example of
this is the telescopic seatpost.
Normally
before starting a downhill with big steps we stop and get off
the saddle, and then put it in pedalling position. Who stops for a single
obstacle? A simple vertical drop is enough to get hurt.
That "
telescopic seatpost” is heavy, but the choice is very simple, weight, or safety. They are expensive, but have you thought how much it can cost to go ” flying” over the
handlebars?
Our opinion
is that the worst part of using a telescopic seatpost is the dependency that you
create for comfort and safety.
