Is a back support better then a backrest or is backrest better then a back support ?

If the angle of the dangle is perpendicular to the fall of the ball, is the beat of the meat constant?

I think OP is referring to the Velcro style back support for heavy lifting

I think a combination of a good seat, good ergonomic handlebars conducive to your liking and a backrest will be what you are after.

I can ride for a good 1/2 to 3/4 of a day ,150 to 300 miles . As long as I don’t hit more then 2 or 3 bad *** bumps in the road .
Also a backrest is mounted to the bike
And a backsupport is something you buy in a medical supply store .

For the last 30+ years I've worn a elastic back support for anything over 200 mile rides. Works better than any backrest I've tried.

Spent 4-1/2hrs in the seat last week riding backroads without dismounting. Thought that was pretty good for a old man!

Haha! I thought it was the angle of dangle is directly proportional to the heat of the meat and the mass of the ***?
