I'm not sure whether the claimed benefit is change in bike attitude,
less energy absorbed by bobbing, or both.


But thinking about the bogging aspect, it seems like it might be a
matter of longer travel through less resistance vs shorter travel
through greater resistance. If that's true maybe the energy
absorbed is a wash.

Anybody?

Work=Force*Distance. You're not exerting more force, and distance is
smaller. Ergo, work is smaller. Work=Energy=Heat=Calories ~= Food
