Seatpost: Thomson Elite. I have a solid aluminum rod pressed into it to avoid crushing/pinching the seatpost at the clamp area.
If u decide to lower the post adjust the seat angle some to compensate.And rob, I do the same trick. I refer to it as a rolling dumptruck or scuffless stick b. Caboose also, right?
It doesn't matter who you buy your seat post from, Colony, Macniel, A Bad Thing, if you look closely and compare them, they're all the same damn thing. Steel posts are a waste of time, if you're coming down hard enough to snap an aluminum one, you're doing something wrong to begin with.
