About this deal

If you use a carbon seatpost, make sure to fit it using a thin layer of carbon paste as this stops it slipping. Pay attention to the quoted torque at which you should tighten the bolt - overdoing it can cause it to snap. If you don't own a torque wrench already, here you can find our recommendations for the best torque wrenches for bikes. As with all aerodynamic upgrades in cycling, it is a culmination of marginal gains that will start to make noticeable differences to your riding. So, yes, seatposts can make a difference but, in most cases, aero seatposts will come in a proprietary design to fit a specific bike, making upgrade options considerably limited. Do carbon seatposts make a difference?

Some manufacturers produce a saddle with an oval shape rail which can only be used with corresponding seatpost. It looks round from a distance until you try and put it in a traditional saddle rail and tighten it… Colour This is, of course, a bit rough and ready.....but its pointless measuring this stuff to decimal places, i move around on the saddle anyway. While the vast majority of standard seatposts are identical in form and function – being hollow aluminium or carbon tubes upon which the saddle is clamped – there are a few essential differences to know about when choosing or replacing a post. Leisure riders just need to make sure they’re buying a seat post with the correct diameter and in the correct length. If you’re in doubt, remove your existing seat post and have a look towards the end of the post and chances are it will have the diameter and length stamped on it.My 1999 Super Galaxy frame fabricated in the Czech Republic has an oversize top-tube and a 27.2 seat-tube. If it didn’t how come a 27.2 reamer easily goes down it? And if it didn’t how come the Mark One fits okay? You should always keep proof of postage and we advise you to use a ‘signed for service’ when returning goods. There are a few things to bear in mind when choosing a new seat post so here’s what the differences are and what they mean for you. Alloy posts are relatively light, cheaper and easy to install and maintain but they can be a harsh ride. The Twin Link clamp uses two bolts with expanding wedges to adjust saddle angle and is easily accessible from the sides below the rails. Part of the Enve Road range with the Enve Road bar and stem, it's unsurprisingly top-level componentry with a top-level price to boot.

Its either get off the Brooks and onto basically ANY other saddle in the world, or stay on the Brooks and get a Velo Orange seatpost, hoping 300mm is long enough. My "old" post works perfectly, I just wondered if anybody had any experience of the "new" post, before I recommend it to a friend.Some bikes, such as Trek Madones, provide saddle height adjustment with a seatmast and cap arrangement. The seatmast is extension of the seat tube above the top tube, and the cap slides into it, clamps in place, and attaches to the saddle. [13] [14] Dropper [ edit ] The size of the seatpost is dependent upon the internal dimensions of the seat tube of the bicycle frame. They come in various diameters, lengths and offsets. Offset is the distance between the centerline of the seatpost tube, and the centerline of the clamp area. Shims are often available to adapt a too-small seatpost to a too-large seat tube.
