rgds, sreten.

Anyway some Araldite (two part epoxy) will convert them into rigid posts,
so no new posts needed, and fix any issue that is not inherent to the
suspension. If the seat is twisting on a spring it is probably normal.

By way too much I means the seat moves around back and forth when riding by several inches and makes it about impossible to ride. Something has to be done.

So, do I just pour the epoxy down the bottom of the post? Or from the top where the square part goes in?

I am liking this idea.
