That may be true, but if the seatpost is strong enough to support my weight (albeit less extended) while I'm traversing rocky slopes and making drops from several feet, I guess my urbanite Brompton should be fine?

That said, there's been reports that this seatpost in particular isn't all that resilient. Guess I'll never know till I try
