My st seems to be more comfortable under load.
I've ridden a fairly well laden Sprint, they cope quite well

Well i had my panniers on last week to go to mallory, mate on back whos about 13.5-14 stone and 2 dslr cameras with kit and it coped quite well, some of the bigger undulations were not too great but the suspension / preload is as it came so not bad really.
I will turn the preload up a bit next time and it should be fine.
