I can see why people refer to ally frames as stiff...ooh the pain!
Are those suspension seatposts effective against everyday road bumps/potholes?
Or is there a better alternative (Other than a bum transplant

do you just crash over everything with your ar5e in the saddle and your tyres inflated to 160psi - or do you unweight yourself on bumpy sections and run slightly more sympathetic tyre pressures...?0

Well tyres are at 120psi still fine tuning the saddle height as at the moment getting up off the saddle means I have to stop peddling and is a bit awkward!
I think I need a new, less-angled seat post as the SCR2 is reknowned as being over-sized and needing new handlebar stems and seat posts etc.
Just wondered if they were a worthwhile mod or gimmick!2007 Giant SCR2 - 'BFG'

Tyres are standard, that's good to know though as I thought that as road bike tyres have such a small capacity compared to MTB tyres they had to run a pretty much max PSI or risk pinch punctures etc.2007 Giant SCR2 - 'BFG'
