Looking for riser seat post
I noticed it in a bike online newsletter ~ a year ago, but cannot remember the name of the seat post. I think the planned release of the product is 2018 0r 2019. Anyone remember this?

While they do the same thing, the drop they create is probably too big if you want to swap between two reasonably efficient heights for seated pedalling.

Well, the MTB crowd has been using mid-ride adjustable posts for several years. According to their frame of reference, they drop the saddle for more manouverability during (very) technical riding. Hence Dropper posts.

If i feel i need a bit more height on a certain long climb i'll scoot back on the saddle a bit that is a touch higher.
