Is $40 for a used(in good shape) Thomson Elite seat post a good deal?

If it's the correct size and length, it is.

What are your thoughts on this;

I'm a student and I ride everywhere with my bike and am sometimes on public transportation.
Reviews seem fantastic, but none seem to tell me if the essential problem with swinging bags are solved with this bag. Do you know anything about this?

Pm'd homebrew on this but figured someone else might be curious.
It's actually 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generations that were prone to failure and the 4th and final was deemed safe. This article goes over it in detail: https://pistarice.blogspot.com/2008/1...iff-wheel.html
Mine is a 4th gen.

Scrod,
Can I use an older style nutted brake, on a fork that is drilled for a recessed brake? I'm guessing yes, with a washer, but I thought I'd make sure.

I do, after I already drilled my fork for a recessed nut. Is this a newer fork or an older fork you drilled? I use steel knurled washers to make sure nothing moves

I may have to get a newer fork, since I'm having trouble finding a 21.1mm quill stem with a shorter extension.

You can use a washer and a standard nut.
Also, there's got to be a bunch of co-ops around San Jose. One of them probably has an old Schwinn quill stem sitting around somewhere.

Harris has a few in stock, although it may not have the rise you want:

This is a 7/8" (tube size) BMX. Be aware that a 1" tube uses a 7/8" (22.2mm) actual quill size, which parts sites like to quote even though the size is always quoted based on the steerer tube.

I saw Harris' 21.15 stems while on my hunt, and they're quite disgusting
