What's your saddlepost of choice?
 
Just curious, I'm riding on a Thomson Elite. What about you guys?

Cinelli Bianca Vai 31.6

I usually ride carbon for the bounce but there is not a lot of post sticking out on my current bike.

Kalin cause the SE designers decided to take the short bus the day they designed my Lager. 26.2. Yeah thats useful.


If I had my choice it'd be a Supertype.

Thomson Elite.

Riding the Velo Orange seatpost but I dont like it so much.

I think I am going to buy a straight Thomson Elite

illdthedj 09-10-10 02:23 PM

ianjk 09-10-10 02:33 PM

On my conversion I run a BMW QBUT53x Quad butted unobtanium post with carbon nanotube internal dampening.

Deshi 09-10-10 03:04 PM

Deda ZERO100, Nitto 686, and 2 Kalloy cheapies...

tek336 09-10-10 03:10 PM

Miche supertype

Scrodzilla 09-10-10 03:33 PM

Velo Orange Grand Cru on both bikes. My wife's got a Nitto 626 on her Leader and I like that a lot too.

stock steel seatpost

LoRoK 09-10-10 03:46 PM

I've got the Nitto Jaguar seatpost. It's money. I'm hoping to get a Thompson for the murdered out Super Pista that I hope to get soon.

illdthedj 09-10-10 03:50 PM

also have the velo orange seatpost. that isnt bad either.

i could be totally wrong but seatposts seem to be one of the more forgiving components in terms of quality.....meaning, getting a cheapo seatpost isn't as detrimental as getting a cheapo saddle or cheapo peddles or cheapo bottom bracket....same with headsets. once again i could be totally wrong.

i still rock a used miche supertype on my "pretty looking fixed gear street" bike lol....
does that make me a superficial jerk if i were to say i bought it for mostly the looks? :D (haha no need to answer that)

vw addict 09-10-10 03:50 PM

There is a Thompson on three of my bikes, but a carbon FSA on the Tarmac that I find is quite comfy and super light, and the stock Tarmac carbon post is on the 'Dale.

LupinIII 09-10-10 03:52 PM

have a thomson elite setback. it's really light, but i don't really care, and i need something with more setback so i'm looking at the grand cru.

I also want a wound up seatpost something bad, so pissed i missed one on ebay that sold for like 40 dollars (btw if the guy that bought that sees this, i'll pay you some extra for it :D)

true, seatposts are generally more forgiving. but i've seen a few cracked supertypes and lets just say that's probably the last place i'd want a cracked, jagged piece of metal on a bike.

illdthedj 09-10-10 04:12 PM

eek! really? thats the first ive heard of cracked supertypes. good thing mine is on a bike i generally take it easy on....guess i should invest in some kevlar boxer briefs lol

yokotas13 09-10-10 04:36 PM
