Sattelstützen Stiffness Test
This test measures how comfortable our seat posts are. The seat
post is clamped in the rig at a given angle and increasing force is
applied up to a known limit. The amount of deflection is measured
and recorded continually whilst the force is being applied. This
test gives us a lot of information about the level of comfort
offered by different seat posts.
