I plan to do the majority of my Ironman Training on a Niner jet 9 racing mountain bike (full suspension) I live in northern Minnesota and there isn't many places to take the road bike plus the jet nine is just a fun bike to cruise in. I was hoping to get the Niner geometry similar to that of a tri bike. I was looking at a seatpost made by profile design called the fast forward. Would this seatpost make by mountain bike more like a tri bike?

I have the carbon version of that seatpost for my road bike, with the aero bars and the post I was able to get as close to a tri bike position as possible without having the actual thing.

On a mountain bike? Useless. Sorry. Geometry is way too different.

Unfortunately, the geometry of a mountain bike is definitely too far off to "rig" this way.
