That said, due to the design of the clamp, you have a lot of room to move your post forward, as I have. MG, my friend who also is running one of these posts does this as well. <br /><br />The Regulator has a palpable amount of "give" which does smooth out the medium sized dips and bumps. The difference here is that the BodyFloat smooths out ALL the smaller frequency trail chatter AND gives with the medium sized dips and bumps. So, the Body Float wins when it comes to vibration elimination versus the Regulators "giving" over some trail bumps and dips. <br /><br />Hope that makes sense. <br /><br />Guitar Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10960580677548417562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-48046361319279877682015-11-03T07:46:19.500-05:002015-11-03T07:46:19.500-05:00Ted, is it a setback post as well.

I didn't mean "get" in any specific way, but I can definitely say that I'm accustomed to most other bike sites indeed getting things for free, so I wouldn't put it past myself to quickly conclude that you got the post for free!<br /><br />Anyway, keep up the great work!eBikeADVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05893340680681441408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-63369385309424851902015-10-14T13:23:03.279-05:002015-10-14T13:23:03.279-05:00@STF_ill: Hey there! Let me make one point perfect...@STF_ill: Hey there! Let me make one point perfectly clear before I make any other comments- You mentioned that you didn't expect my "blog to get this product first". I am sure you didn't mean it this way, but I want to underscore that by "get" that means "bought". Too many folks think I and other bloggers "get" stuff for free to review, when that is not at all the case here. <br /><br />Just to be perfectly clear- "I bought this with my own damn money"! <br /><br />Sorry, but I want to leave no doubt there. <br /><br />So, anyway.....yeah. The post is perfect for gravel roads, rougher roads, and what not. I can feel it soaking up stuff on the busted up roads on my commute, so I believe you would see a definite increase in comfort immediately with this post. But........that's not all I see going on here. I have another angle I am pursuing with regard to this post which I feel is another positive byproduct of the design. I have been talking with my buddy MG, (who also bought one of these posts, and will be reviewing it for RidingGravel.com), and he and I are seeing the same thing. Stay tuned for our conclusions there.<br /><br />But in your case, I think the outright claims of Cirrus Cycles will prove themselves to be worth it for your purposes.

But that's good, because you're very straight up on all your reviews of things. So, in giving your general recommendation for this, would you say that gravel/dirt roads is where it really shines? I wonder if the price/performance ratio isn't so helpful on nicer paved roads. Nicer, in that they aren't strewn with gravel, but do have their share of bumps and potholes, etc...eBikeADVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05893340680681441408noreply@blogger.com
