Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - The thingy on saddle's rails

What's this thing on the rails? Can I take it off? Can I use the saddle with a normal seat post? I'm planning to buy this, I only have this picture, so I can't try to see how it works.

that's for making the sex.


yes, you can take it off and it will work w/ a traditional seatpost.

Clamp part of a junk seatpost. Make sure that it has standard rail spacing before you buy.

And another one.

So it's some oldschool thing or what?

You're joking, right....?

In the depressing case that you're not, that's a clamp for holding the saddle onto a seatpost which is just that -- a post. i.e. essentially just a piece of tubing. Get a 14mm wrench and you can take it off.

Oh, I see how it works now. Thanks.

Haven't seen one of these before. Strange thing.

someone was born with a silver spoon in their mouth ;)

next you're gonna tell me you don't know what this metal disc is

They dont have bicycles in Russia?

I was wondering what "thing" he was talking about. I was looking for some "thing" other than the clamp. As little as I know about bikes, DAMN! I knew that!

give him a break, he's only in his second week of keirin training / third week of fixed riding.

Have a problem with my motherland?

And to all of you. Don't be so ****ing mean. People ask in the other threads much more stupid questions like how do you change cogs and lockrings and so on. I'm not familiar with old bikes enough to know about seat post clamps. So I had to ask.

Anyway, I purchased the saddle, it was just 1150 yen (10$). Will put it on my Schwinn, the road saddle there is killing me.

i'm not really sure which question is more stupid, but i don't think that you should be the judge of that.

i thought tadashi had left?oh man, i am ****ting myself with excitement about his return.

give him a break, he's only in his second week of keirin training / third week of fixed riding.

lololol

This guy makes the stupidest threads ever.

F'you.

As you can see, american kids are pretty much jackasses as much as possible.
Its kind of embarrasing.

...and another thread ends well. Congratulations, everyone!

Nice generalization. Seeing that you are from the USA, you would think you would know better.

Also, Americans live on both North and South America not just the USA. Additionally, it is embarrassing.

I like you Tadashi...

and I like Mother Russia...

I have the communist hammer and sickle on a butt-flap on my favorite skirt...

also, I wish I lived in Japan..

Since when has it been wrong to ask questions? Isn't that how one gains knowledge? I've been on this message board for a little over a week and there is way too much hostility. Many of you have been very helpful to me, and I thank you all for it; but many of you also act like you were born with all the knowledge you have now... Give me a break...

i think if you looked at the "thingy" for longer than, i'll be fair, a minute. you could figure it out.

he's been here awhile.. see if you can dig up some of his old posts.

and yes, some people are dicks generally if you do your own research first for a question and still can't find an answer then come here people are nice. they just don't like it when people are lazy so they go to the internet to have people do work for them.
