Its where the band/clamp for the seat tube attatches - some frames may not have clearence for one type. There is a slight different in the spriong mechanism too, which some say makes conventional perfrom better.0

and like wise stick with what is currently fitted as a change may not work. But common feeling is that the lower the band the better as it seems to make a stiffer mech."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
