Saddle Suspension

[kooly]

Hi All. Loving my new Hybrid Cube. I have decided to upgrade the forks and suspension as i am doing more forest riding..however the forks i can afford are all based over seas and nothing is being sent to Australia at the moment because of the pandemic...So, i have just discovered these saddle posts and can access them here in Oz...has anybody had experience with them...supposedly they are fantastic for the price and soften the long ride bum soreness which i'm sure most of us are aware of hahaha SUSPENSION SEATPOSTS - Cane Creek Cycling Components

I have the new one with 50mm travel and zero degree offset. I got it as I recently started suffering with back issues. I can't say for off road use but for the commute its ideal for the pot holes

The cane creek is a great bit of kit - how useful suspension set posts are is another debate, but if you want one Cane Creek is the way forward, w have them on some general use bikes and they make a difference.

I have had a cane creek on my “old’ Hardseven for years. I think it makes a real difference. My new bike has a drop seat post and, good though it is, I keep thinking about replacing it with the Cane Creek.

Is there any adjustment on these things or is it fixed at a certain stiffness? What is it like when riding over really uneven ground?

Mine is the ST version and you get different “strengths” of rubber shock absorbers depending on your weight. It takes the edge off sharp bumps but certainly does not eliminate them.

My wife has a Suntour suspension seatpost on her hardtail and loves it. You can buy a neoprene dust cover for it as well.

Those hookworms look great, are they the 2.5 version?
Where did you get them from.

they are indeed the 2.5 version. I paid £19 per tyre but there out of stock. they were a real bitch getting the Tannus Armour in

We have a Cane Creek ST on our Como. It made a big difference, not magic but certainly worth doing.

Never heard of tannus, quick google search...seems like a good idea. How do you find the hookworms for grip and feel.

they feel smooth and as a bonus I get an extra 5% battery saving when compared to the nobbly tyres

I currently run 2.35 big apples,
I might look for these on my new bike.
