i'm in need of a tough seatpost, what are my options?

unirox13 · 2009-06-11, 10:31 PM

ok so after bending my 3rd kh forged seatpost i think it's time to spend a lil bit more money and get something that i can rely on. i've often heard good things about rail type seat posts and was wondering how the kh adjustable rail post http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=1274 would hold up to my big street riding? if that's not a good option could someone please recommend something that is going to work really well?

The KH post is OK, but not bombproof. What you really want is a Thomson Elite.

It's a bicycle rail seat post; any rail adapter will work.

I don't think there's currently a simple rail adapter in production.

If you don't need the brake lever mount just cut it off. A hacksaw will do the job just paint over the raw metal afterward to prevent it rusting.
