Why are pro's not running this then? It has been out a year and pretty much any pro could run it as it does not get in the way of any sponsors.

When would you use this? How steep are gravel road climbs? I have never encountered anything over 20%. I ride and tour quite a bit of steep gravel and my saddle is flat as it should be.

Would you be reaching down to do this on a river trail where you encounter steep ups and downs quickly? I doubt it as that would be like having an old school dropper post.

I totally agree its definitely more comfortable on steep climb but when your pedaling on flat its awful and it looks ugly ASF

Hence why this new company Aenomoly has come up with a solution that offers this device that lets you quickly change the seat angle. I would not be surprised to see this incorporated into the dropper mechanism by companies at some point as well.

How do you know that pros aren't? Like you said they would not be sponsored by this company so they would not advertise it. I ride many trails that are fairly steep. Not a lot of gravel.

So you would reach down and move this thing when you encounter steep trail and then change it back quickly for flat sections? Right…. This is why I brought up gravel climbs as that is where it would make sense if at all. Set it for a long climb and then reach down and change it for the decent. But I still don’t see much value in that if your saddle is at the correct height which again has everything thing to do with it.

And a bike.

Specialized already made a dropper that did adjust and I don't think it lasted long at all.

I think part of the issue was how little drop it had? I'm a fan of the concept, but I feel spoiled now that I can finally run a full 180mm drop.

Why the f*ck is he running a fast trak/renegade combo on a 180mm bike re: saddle angle, do some real climbs and itll all make sense.

That’s what jumped out to me first and then the fork.

I tried to get X Fusion to make a tilting seat clamp/post many years ago and they said nah. I still think the idea has merit, but I never like extra weight. It's ebike appropriate.

It should just be a part of dropper posts. Tilts back when low tilts forward when high. Didn't specialized already do that? The only issue is for flats when seated, it would tilt forward too much.

Didnt' a Pinkbiker come up with a upper seatpost rail adaptor that did exactly that and you can use whatever dropper you want?
