This is also something that I have been confronted with multiple times already and I'm insecure. We're riding an L/S frame and on multiple occasions there could have been 180cm / 80kg class stokers. I really do wonder where the limits for the rear are as that will present an enormous leverage once I miss avoiding that one large pothole or we just work hard. Do minimum insertion depths increase with seat post length, too?
