I am thinking of trying one of the Long Travel models (3 inches of elastomer travel) for my XC mtb but I'm a bit concerned about how much it will sag just with my 100 or so kg on it (even with the very masculine purple elastomers for heavier riders).
There are stacks of good reviews on the web but I would be keen to hear from anyone here who might have used one.
Anyone ever tried one of the Cane Creek Thudbuster suspension posts?

I've been riding on one for about a year. I'm 105kg, Just use the black elastometers, they didn't have purple ones back when I bought it.
Love it. Would buy another if ever needed.
The first few weeks it felt a bit funny.. previously I had a telescopic post.. the thudbuster moves backwards when it compresses.. you'll keep stopping to check your headset because it feels like that's moving forward rather than you seat moving backwards. Eventually you'll get used to it and not even notice without concentrating.
Beautifully constructed, never had to adjust/service it.
