I have a GT "hybrid" from the early 90's - rigid frame, no shocks anywhere. Just serviced at LBS and
in good working condition. I ride about 50% road, 30% rail trail, 20% single track totalling about
100 miles a week. I'm considering changing out the seat & post to add some shock aborption.
Questions:
1. Is it worth the effort?
2. How much seat travel should I look for (I've seen 3/4" to 2" in the posts I've checked
out so far).
3. Stem diameter is 26.4mm - better to get an exact replacement, or OK to use a shim kit
for sizing.
