• Seatpost recommendations please...

    My previous purchase of China's finest crabon no longer clamps properly, so the saddle tilts up and down at inopportune moments.

    My requirements are:

    • 27.2mm diameter, at least 300mm long
    • Layback/offset, 20-25mm should do it
    • Using standard (round) railed saddle
    • Comfort rather than absolute stiffness*
    • Lightweight would be nice...

    Ta.

    *I appreciate this is rather undefineable, but if you bought a post based on "must transfer all my awesome power to the pedals", it's probably not my cup of tea.

  • I used to encounter the same problems you do. I solved them by using carbon paste on the inner circle of the seatpost, and torquing the screw to 8nm.
    It doesn't move anymore, and I didn't die (yet).

  • I wouldn't bother again with a chinese carbon seatpost. The one I got didn't measure up to 27.2mm properly and was an absolute waste of money.
