Suspension seat post.

Thinking about getting one but never rode on one before.
Anyone got one?
Seen a USE one that looks good, some look ugly like the Creek ones.

Re:

I don't currently have one, but have had a few of the USE ones over the years, I like them, certainly took the sting out of the Pace frame after a few hours in the saddle.
They just need an occasional clean/lube/service, the USE ones just have one long elastomer inside, couldn't be simpler.
They can/do have a little bit of movement front to back or left to right, like a millimetre or two, I noticed it at first but soon forgot all about it, if you use a dropper seatpost you'll be familiar with it.

The Cane Creek Thudbusters look weird but apparently work quite well too.

Re:

Thanks for the info there jimo.
Have got a USE SX Shokpost and it's the earlier type without the Sumo clamp.
It's NOS and brand new.

Re:

I've used the Cane Creek one, works fine until an elastomer breaks in the middle of the North York Moors

Only down side is that I feel like a full time bike mechanic fixing the misses' bikes for her
