  • So I’ve bought a brompton which has a lovely ti seatpost (standard length) which is a bit short. Is there anything I can retro fit to this to extend it? Or do I need to buy a new seatpost? As far as I can tell there is a standard length (520), extended length (590) (which should be fine for my 32” inside leg) and a telescopic one.

    But I can’t find anything that you can retro fit to a standard length seatpost to give you a few extra inches but perhaps I’m missing something.

  • If you need the extra height/length then you’ll probably need the extended seatpost. If the standard is just a bit too short you can use the seat holder/clamp and just have it sit slightly higher than normal on the end of the seatpost. That’s your only fudge I’m afraid.
    I use it with my extended seatpost as that’s just a tiny bit too short for me.
    There’s nothing that will give you a couple of extra inches of leeway, apart from raising or lowering the seatpost.
