No, far better to just undo your v-brakes, even take the pads out if you like, and then just let the wheel wobble free. Leave it until it rubs on the frame, perhaps. The rubbing noise can join the creaking from your BB and the grinding from your chain in some sort of Stockhausen-esque [s]cacophony[/s] symphony of maintenance discord.

AARGH! Why do people do that?

Would this be on an Apollo full susser displaying all the suspension characteristics of a pogo stick with each pedal stroke? And approximately 2psi in the tyres?

Do you mean Stockhausen or John Cage? John Cage would be fun but Stockhausen would just be dreary.

I've even got one of his records. And a special limited edition of 4'33" by John Cage too - amazing sound quality.

..and the seat post is so low that it has actually bottomed out on the rear triangle, rendering all 'suspension' impossible anyway...
