No way to add a QR. And I'm 6'4". So this kind of thing looks ideal if not essential for me. I need a 27.2 diameter post so was intrigued by the Origin-8 link. Know where to get these in the UK?

When climbing or slogging out long easy sections of a track you want your seat up high to get the most out of your legs. When going downhill, and the going gets fun you, want to get off that seat and get it low so it stops smacking you in the crotch whenever you shift your weight backwards over the back wheel. For people in a hurry its a pain in the arse to continually stop and readjust your seat height and getting that top height right takes a lot of messing around. This post along with the gravity dropper serves a purpose. This is a great idea for cross country riders.

This is another product solving a problem that doesn't exsist. Like ghost rider set it and forget it. jimbo I don’t even like quick releases.
