What are the tradeoffs of a hard tail with good suspension post like Cane
Creek's ThudBuster or even a sprung saddle vs a soft tail with solid saddle?
Seems like the soft tail has less travel than a ThudBuster.
Both lack any damping.
I'm guessing that any effect from the diff in unsprung weight is negligible.
How about efficiency? Does the soft tail soak up pedaling effort?
Is durability an issue with soft tails? The number of times something can bend
before it breaks and all that...
