So, naturally, I put the old post back on her bike and moved the Cobble GobbleR to my Cinelli Parallax. I can definitely feel a difference. Works as advertised to smooth out the ride. The Parallax frame has steep angles and 7075 aluminum, which add up to make its ride pretty harsh. Great handling, just harsh.


I'm keeping the seat post on here, because might as well be one of us comfortable, now that I've bought it. (I hate to see good bike parts go to waste).
