Walks the walk
It's always amusing watching the PB guys argue over the "cheater switch" and the bike prices and tech thread got me thinking about this suspension issue.
Coming from 2003 coil Pro-Pedal to the 2015 air 3 position switch was really cool at first, yet also had me scratching my head because Pro-Pedal was a bit like an auto switch. But after I went down a couple of downhills forgetting to flick the switch I ended up leaving it in the middle Trail position.
Going to the Bronson I flicked it once for a climb, forgot to flick it back for the down, and decided then that it will never leave the downhill position, and so it has been for the past several months.
I actually thought I might use it more on the Bronson because it was easier to reach, but I'm totally convinced they are a complete waste of time now, the climbing gains are slight/non existent for me, and on some of the techy stuff I stay seated and use the plushness so I feel in those cases it's an advantage to leave it open up hills.
Do you flick the switch? Is it really worth it?
