Is this ok to do?
 

the stock suspension seatpost that came with my sirrus is too soft. so i tighten the bottom screw inwards more so it's stiffer. but since this is the first suspension seatpost i have used, i'm not sure if this is safe or not. what do you think?

here is a pic of it.

i hope that's not going to happen to me... :eek:

cool cool... good thing to know... cuz i'm going for a 20+ mile ride with my friend so i really dont' want any surprises... lol.

dont worry its all good... my bike cam with one of those and i just tightened it all the way...after a couple months i hated it because sometimes i would hit a bump and it would depress and get stuck there...it annoyed me enough to buy a thompson elite...haha...the point is i have no seatpost up my rectum

cool cool... i know what you mean about the bump part.. before when it was soft.. i hit a bump and it got stuck so when i was about to get ready for a climb, i got off my seat and pop... the nose of the seat gave my boys a love tap. thus this thread as to how to make that shiat stiffer.

just saving up for a new post and stem...

yeah even after tightening my post it still did it occasionally. i even tried it on my mountain bike kuz i figured a suspension post may be good in that situation...nope...having a normal post is worth all the money in the world:D

Hi ruirui, I hadn't seen a picture of your Sirrus since the mods. Wow, it looks fantastic. What size seat post do you need? I have a 26.6 seat post that I would be glad to send you for free. It's nothing special--but it's in good shape and it's not a suspension post. It's not doing me any good lying in my toolbox. If you can use it drop me an e-mail at fox@demonstratives.com.

chuck.. thanks for your offer. i just sent you an e-mail. ;)
