So this is a long video I am certain Jeff posted it for just pure entertainment purposes What interested me and ties in the thread name is they are joined a by a legit elite XC races in Catherine Pendral on some pretty burly jump trail. Can Catherine do with a high fixxed seat post? absolutely. Does she look as smooth as people less elite than her with a Dropper? I dont think so. In fact I would say its objective more dangerous and honestly can not be as quick.
This is by no means a knock against Catherine, I am just showing that if some hacks can do stuff easier with a dropper than an Olympian, are you really that good? I know I am not. IMO no dropper is like skiing with your knees only have 10 percent of the ROM available to you, and not 100 percent of the range of motion available to you. I also find it funny that she races MSA with a dropper like most of the XC WC are doing now.
