Affordable Seatpost?
 
I can't buy a thompson :(

What's a decent seatpost that:
can adjust seat angles
has to come in black
27.2mm
Under 55$
Ships to Canada
....
How's this?

Do you need a zero setback seatpost ? Otherwise, that looks like a good deal and I prefer two bolt adjustments like that one has. Also, I've bought from Abaxo before, and they always have the best pricing and are reliable.

I wanted a seatpost with lots of set back and two screw adjustment. I got one from Velo Orange. Forget the price but you might take a look. They have various models with different set back.

gonna jack this thread for a minute. Any good (aside from thompson) "affordable seatposts" in 26.8 (kilott)? I'm looking for some better adjustments than the stock one, not trying to lose any bike weight.

pyze-guy 03-13-14 09:21 PM

Go to MEC. Raceface ride is $27. Problem solved

Scrodzilla 03-13-14 09:22 PM

Are black 27.2 seat posts really that hard to find?

mongol777 03-13-14 09:27 PM

MEC was mentioned several times - what don't you like about their seat posts? Or go up the street to urbane and get kalloy or uno for pretty much same price

I got a MEC post like I linked because it was the only one in 26.8mm diameter that was in stock within an hours drive from home. It's been on my MTB for a year with no issues.

These really are the best thing since sliced bread. I got one of last year's closeouts for $30.

Looks like MEC has 'em

Every shop better stock a $20-30 27.2 post. Most common size. We had a whole pile of them in black or silver, normal or super-mtn-long. 20 bucks.

nightfly 03-14-14 12:07 PM

Just snagged a 27.2 Thomson off ebay for just about your price.

Keep an eye out for them, you can find them.

I like the Kalloy Radiused head one for looks but they are a pain in the *ss to adjust with the single bolt.

That Race Face looks really nice too.

EnzoRWD 03-14-14 12:27 PM

my favorite ebay posts: USE Alien carbon or alloy. ~160g in 27.2 and typically sell for less than a 200g Thomson Elite.
