I think a suspension post might benefit my partner. She's about 90lbs (6st6,
41kg). She rides a fairly upright road bike - flat bars, etc. Tyres are
1.3inch slicks on 26in wheels.
Most posts are designed with springs for much heavier people, and so far
I've only found two which seem to have the option of springs/elastomer for a
light person; the USE Alien road model and the smaller Thudbuster model.
Both are quite expensive (around 80 pounds for the USE and around 110 for
the Thudbuster once the elastomers are added).
Is there any experience of these for road use which you'd like to pass on ?
