So I want do at time testing of dropper post versus no dropper post.
My goal, because I want to video to be good, controversial, and get lots of views are to be the first person to just time a loop of dropper post + 300 grams, and then no dropper post(or not using it) -300 gram. I plan to test in couple different local and I am going to be shooting at test loops of about 5- 10 minutes long, so that mishaps do not matter as much and will use trails I know really well. The loops I am planning out are zero sum vertical IE it will start and end at the same spot, so it should nt favor deccending, climbing or traversing.
My goal so I can ride the same bikes is this.
No dropper , ride and dont use the post
Dropper post, add 300 grams and use the dropper as much as I want.
Basically instead of taking the post off an on , i am going to just add weight when I am using, do you guys think this is fair? I also plan to test both hardtail and Full suspension.
IMO the question comes down to, Is the weight plenty of 300 grams and added range of motion let you ride you bike faster? or the 300 grams weight too much to overcome?
What do you guys think will be faster for myself? Is there are video out there that truly A&bs dropper versus no dropper with out switching the bike.....
