Sorry about dual posting, I feel its better to have one mezzo thread, So I tend to add posts here that might be added to a another Mezzo related thread to keep the information complete in at least one thread .
Re New suspension seat post using a Koga extending seatpost from Ebay and adding cheap suspesion post in to insert.

. its a tad higher when folded around 4 to 5 inches, around 1.5 to 2 inches higher than a brommie with extended seatpost.
Like the feel of it so far.
Slight problem is that the diameter is not quite right and the seatpost clamp needs a couple of extra turns between switching from mezzo seatpost. It does hold well after that. I dont need to extend the seat post with this set up I just set it to minimum insertion mark and there is 6 inches left in the frame.
Hope this extra pressure does not cause the excellent but fragile Mezzo seat clamp to crack.
Might drill a hole in the seatpost to stop it cracking beyond a certain point.
You might just be able to see a hairline crack where I might drill the hole.
Any one know of a shop that sells the mezzo clamp with out a special order premium?
