I agree 100% with Rawwhite1969. My words exactly. You get on the seat and it's too high, as you sit it lowers and now you are too low so you need to adjust the seat up to where you want it. If you need to lift yourself off the seat to put your feet down, the seat rides. I now ride a fixed aluminum seat post on my MTB.

Our mountain bikes are hard tail (no suspension on front either). I've never spent much time on the seat when on trails.
