It’s always funny to me how self-evident this is to everyone (everyone?) but me versus how long it took me to get here.
I can’t even blame the local riding being very pedal-and-plunge because it’s local riders I’m usually talking to.
Maybe it’s all the \#1FG riding, but either way a good quick release and simple post had a lot of appeal until only recently when my kid started riding with a dropper.
My mind was blown at how quickly it improved her riding. Climbing and descending. She’ll pop her seat out of the way to get up on to a long uphill ladder bridge (24” hoops don’t bump-on as easily as big wheels) and then pop her saddle back to height to keep the bike (which weighs ~ half what she does) moving.
I mean, I clearly will take a dropper over a suspension fork but I imagine that forced to make a choice a lot more people would make the same decision than I would have expected 6-months ago.
