Speaking of wu, I have to share this hilarious writeup by Mark Alker from [2017](https://singletrackworld.com/2017/08/specialized-command-post-given-the-power-of-wu/): _So according to Specialized the word ‘Wu’ is a noun that is used to describe the tilt of your seatpost. For example.. “I say old chap, the nose of your saddle is tipped back at some considerable angle beyond the natural horizontal.” ..is more commonly translated on the trail as.. “Yo bro, you are rockin some serious wu on that saddle, dude. Yeah!” \#doyouevenwubro_ that out of the way, I really liked the idea that tilt is coupled with the drop of the saddle and was waiting for a post with more drop, unfortunately, nothing came out of  it. Although the aenomaly - your favourite droper combo gives you more options, I wonder if a lot of the riders really need these options? I think the decoupling of the functions (tilt/drop) is just the consequence of a small manufacturer that can't (as of yet) produce the w(u)hole package. Perhaps it 's even protected by spec with a couple of patents?
