Yes, it's a coconut :-D It's on my bike, but nothing on my bike failed, story goes...we started a ride and not a mile in a guys X-Fusion dropper failed and I had recommended it _(think the clamp broke and this was early dropper days, 2014)_ and he said he was going to just bail and head back. I felt a bit bad as I had recommended it and so swapped him my rigid post and saddle and tried to ride with his post only. I did about 2 or so miles like that, but without the saddle the bike felt lost, couldn't tell where it was at as had no knee contact, so looked about and found that coconut, 1/2 a roll of 1" Gorilla tape later, voila. I actually rode the rest of the trail and another good few miles, think total of about 8 miles, standing up basically, but when we hit the 1 mile climb, I raised it to proper pedal height to give it a go and surprisingly it wasn't so bad. Did the climb, then descent and then the ride home, was around 20 miles IIRC.
