Thanks. PNW Pine for 27.2 d. Its excellent. Often in the bike industry push gimmicks but have to say the dropper post for mtb is transforming brilliant.

I used to ride MX and of course its natural to be flexible off the saddle - mostly ride the pegs.

For off road bicycles and especially hardtail, its the same scenario. Getting the saddle out of the way is a godsend, far more flexible and properly 'riding ON the pedals'. Yet also conveniently allows the opposite, often want it 'exactly in position' for when the trail smooths out.
