I haven't used a suspension seatpost since circa 1997 or -8, but I do recall using a CODA -- elastomer -- with a Softride stem on a rigid Performance ti mtb frame. For stutter bumps and other high frequency, low amplitude roughnesses, both together gave a really Cadillac ride. But I returned the CO
