And I couldn't wait to get my Brooks onto our new Santana ... the saddle that came with it was terrible!! I'm not sold on the suspension seatpost I've got and have been thinking that going with an ordinary seatpost + the Brooks saddle might work better. The Brooks has its own suspension and give which might be enough.
Regarding coasting, that's something we're a little bit out of sinc on as well. I like to coast more often that Rowan does, especially around corners and into stops. If it were me on my single, I'd be coasting from 200 metres back but Rowan likes to pedal right up. And if one of us tries to coast unexpectedly ... that can actually be quite painful on the knees for the person who is still trying to pedal. So it's good to announce it.
