Get a thomson elite seatpost, the best seatpost available on earth.

Worth every penny, I assure you

because of its weight ?

because of its weight ?
Weight, quality, structure, strength, durability, looks... Enough for you sir?
-
I can't imagine how good a seatpost looks being so ... straightc...long ...cilinder-like shaped, LOL! Just Sexy!
It's definetly not worth the money, go for a cheaper one, buy another if you ruin it.
-
yeah i was thinking about the thomson one, but it's realy expesive for me!
i like the odyssey intac seatpost
anyway, thank you a lot for your oppinion

I manage to bend one, somehow. And thompson would not warrantee it because they said i had to have put so much pressure to bend the post, like hard crash or something. I did not crash that hard. It's a nice post, but not worth the price. Go for something else.

Perv Alloy Seatpost
:rolleyes:
-
thompson is the best and most expensive
seat/post combo has to be the mcneil
no doubt about that one

I would say if you don't care about weight get the Odyssey Jim's Beam or the GI post. There really strong and won't bend on you. Plus you won't have to spend 70 bucks on a post that might possibly bend or snap and you have no warrenty. With the Odyssey posts you have a lifetime warrenty. Thats just my opinion though.

jayson alot do worry about weight
im one of them so any aluminum
seatpost is good and titanium posts
are a little too expensive.
lates
-
Yeah, thats true. If you cut the post down on the Odyssey's you can save alot of weight on it though. I just don't ride alum. posts because I bent like 2 of them. Maybe the Thompson is stronger than the ones I rode idk.lol

Cheap and light!
if you break it get another one, there cheap enough!
-
hey again it is the quality to
you can thicker seatposts that
are aluninum and still be light
as hell and thompson are one of those seatposts and cutting down
seatposts does save weight but it
will be still heavier than the
full aluninum not cut seatposts.
i think again you should look at
quality and then lightness in buying bike parts.

It's almost the same thing than having a Ti sprocket, it makes no sense.
-
it does if you run low gearing e.g 24/9 cos there is loads of force on the teeth of the sproket so it will just eat at the teeth if its alloy :o
-
go for the st.martin seatpost.
its heavy but its the best,even better than the thompson.
it weights aout 500 gr but if you cut 10 cm is 400 or something because its filled with alloy inside.
i have it for 2months and its still straight.
before this one i was changing seatposts about every month
i changed about 10 seatposts in a year because of a trick that i am doing in the backwheell and land with all my power in the seatpost..
its the best ,you wont regret it..
i bought it 25 euros
-
titanuim seatpost dont make sense
i agree
aluninum do make sesne if you get the right quality
seatpost like i have stated

How do you bend the your seatposts? I have owned lots of them (about 10) and never bend any of them, and I'm not the smoothest rider around. Learn how to hang 5 properly, guys. ;) `

lol.i am doing hang fives for years,and when i was learning it i didnt have a problem with the seatpost at all.
when you roll backwards in rolling caboose(fudgepacker i think) position after a g-turn
if something goes wrong you land exactly on your seatpost.
thats how i bend them
-
i have bent seatposts myself
where they are hard to get out
and yeah it is not too hard to bend
seatposts.
lol

Don't land straight on your seat, land on pedals or put your feet on the ground before the back wheel touches the ground.

How can you learn tricks properly? Don't you just do them

I rode an odyssey intac for over a year, it stood up to the abuse well, for being a relatively cheap post.
So if your on a budget, without a doubt go for the intac.
I now ride a Thomson, its crazy light and when you actually have one in your hand you can feel the quality.
I would say its worth the extra £ but its up to you.
Peace,
Pete

just dont get anything made of aluminum cuz they suck
-

khe flatlander
