Which Thudbuster seatpost (St or Lt) should I get for my Hybrid?
I commute about 10 miles over a mixed terrain (pavement, gravel, road and a little bit of dirt) - I am thinking of adding a suspension seatpost to my hybrid. I am considering the Cane Creek Thudbuster.
Has anyone installed it on their Hybrid? Which one should I get St or Lt?

Both weights almost the same.
LT is for maximum comfort and/or heavier rider.
ST is for smaller guys and doesn't provide true "suspension" feeling.
I went with LT and its awesome. Very easy to set it up for your weight.

LT requires more seatpost extension above the frame to fit the longer parallelogram in.
ST less .. I have one of each .. , as frame under them required.
there are sized neoprene boots to cover both ,,

how much of the current seat post sticks out of the frame you have ?
what diameter is the existing seatpost?
Did you note the dimensions quoted on the company website ..

You are right...LT is pretty big. I think that is the only problem with it. My frame is XXL, and I'm a pretty tall guy, so it fits nicely and there is still enough room for a rear light.
