Hi,

Does anyone know if all seatposts with suspension on them can be adjusted for most weights of the average riders?
For example 60-100kg?
Is there a way to know how much can seatpost be adjusted for weight?
:?:

    Some can, but they have little or no place on a mountain bike.

    Suspension posts often don't last long anyway, but they aren't really designed for the bigger hits on an MTB (used as an MTB) so they not only don't work very well (lack of progression means they often bottom out) but they don't work for very long either.
    Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.
