Lowering is easy, you just pull the quick release and let it drop


Exactly. But don’t tell that to these pretentious dummies.

I would make a bet not one of them is over 25. Lol. Probably never rode before droppers were prevalent.

Not much. Just put some renthal fat bars on


So why did you post a one month old pic, with the old bars on? It’s almost as if you want to be told about your daft seatpost choice, so you can have an argument with people?

Incorrect... girl I used to date is a nurse practitioner in Riverside and Loma Linda hospital told her they do not need volunteers, that they're not under any kind of strain and that things are actually slower than typical because people are avoiding the hospital in general right now. My brother, a doctor who works at Shands Memorial hospital here in Florida echoed that exact sentiment. And my other brother, an NP with a PhD from Yale was told that volunteers weren't needed at the Yale New Haven hospital for the same reason.

The news is cherry picking a small selection of inner city hospitals in places like Chicago, Detroit, and NYC and giving the impression that its like that everywhere. It isn't, and truth be told, those hospitals could use volunteers 365 days a year and are always overwhelmed.

... and I'd argue that disc brakes are as responsible if not more responsible for the incredible performance of modern bikes as any other advancement. V-brakes were shit, I'd rather have no seatpost and stand up all day than ride v-brakes, or worse yet canti's

Why do we have to keep discussing it every time he posts a picture? f*ck it... I wouldn't build a bike without one but if he wants to ride it that way, rock on.

1. I didnt realize I posted it before.
2. I didn’t bring up the dropper bs. Some other knucklehead did.

Sure, but while moving, riding trail and getting it straight? I suppose that doesn't matter. Ok then, a video raising the post to desired height, straight, while moving on a trail.

Ok so we are roughly the same age demographic. I’m 6 years older. You have been riding mtb longer (bmx for me since who knows, and mtb since 16.

I'm 34, have a dropper, but also know they are totally unnecessary IF you are willing to deal with it. Did it for years.
