The wife and I have ordered a tandem.

What's the best suspension seat post for the stoker?

Thanks Bob

Parallel link type, methinks, such as the Thudbuster. There are coil spring versions of this type as
opposed to the elastomer spring for the Thudbuster.

I personally swear by the softride beam, but if you've ordered already it's too late for that one...

Can't answer your question directly, but you might want to consider a Koobi PRS saddle instead. I
live in an area with very rough tar and gravel roads and I do quite high mileage on them. I got a
Koobi about 5,000 miles ago (this past Spring) and I've loved it. It really takes the edge off the
harshness of the road. It uses some suspension elastomers built into the seat rail system. They work
quite well. There are several different elastomers provided for different levels of cushion.

FWIW,
