but the thing isn't what
I would call a quality seatpost. It's a quality boat anchor (435g
).
My lay back post allows 5" of set back of which I use 4" to get my stroke and distance to the ground just right.
My post is stainless steel 7/8" solid rod that weight (this it the bad part) 1.2 pounds! Heavy I know but the damn thing will never bend under my weight!!!!!
