I'm interested in hearing why you would put on a QR post clamp?
I can see wanting to go lower for extended downhills on dirt/non-paved sections, but for that I''ve considered adding a dropper post.
A dropper post with suspension... like the PNW coast Dropper post.
I had a QR on my old school mtbs. but after a few uses, never found I wanted to make use of it while riding...
One upgrade I did put on my X was a suspension post - older Rockshox post - to take the edge off some of the thumping... it works really well.
I have ride buddies who have put on the Redshift suspension seatpost, and they like their's a bunch also.
Other 'upgrade' I can recommend is the Redshift Shockstop Stem - take the edge off the hits one gets coming up thru the front end.
Not quite like mtb suspension forks, but just enough greatly reduce what does come thru.
For me, it has no effect on steering control or ride quality - I really like it - a bit pricey and adds a small amount of weight - but all well worth it for me.
Ride On
