I mean, two types of folks - those who are going to lose the little bits and those who aren’t. The former should skip any trail side tools with removable pieces.
Knock on wood… I haven’t lost any yet!
I think the issue with a saddle is they flex a lot. I’ve recommended to a few folks I’ve seen on the trail that they get shorter seat post bolts actually because bottoming your gouch onto a bolt would suck.
I don’t think the I.D. Of steerer tubes is changing anytime soon, but I could be wrong! The OD can’t change or minimum stem length will have to grow.
