Any question answered...

Anyone had, or know of someone who will do, a 'camo' powdercoat paint job ?

3t polladio or thomson elite seatpost?

Seem to be similar weights and adjustment, so which do people think looks better

I have UTFS but to no avail.

basically I want to use one saddlebag on multiple bikes so am looking for the mount only that is compatible for this bag:

3t palladios are a real pain to set up.
And I have seen a broken one.
I have never seen a Thomson with any sort of problem, and they are a piece of piss to set, and infinitely adjustable. (the 3t has steps in the adjustment, they are small, but they are there)

Thomson elite is easier to integrate into most builds and is less shouty than the 3T, would use the 3T with 3T stem and bars though.

Topeak F11 Quick Clip Saddle Mount

Halfords sell the bag with the clip

Its going with a 3T stem but im not sure the seatpost will go with the rest of the bike...hmm

How do you stop the bastard things from creaking?

[B]Topeak F11

wicked, ordered from Wiggle as I boycott Halfrauds ever since they asked me for £2 to borrow their track pump

I boycott Halfords because they are crap

Bin it?

The last one I saw (that was creaking, the reason why I was looking at it) was broken.
(one of the two clamp halves was cracked)
I think they are really poorly designed, over engineered, (they are trying too hard to be different, not better ) and not especially high quality.
Would not buy again

"I boycott Halfords because they are crap"

The list of reasons to do so is endless...

I was talking about my Thomson

Grease it. Thomsons hold their position by bolt tension, not friction, but everything moves a bit under load, and dry metal-on-metal movement will creak.

If it is creaking from the clamp a light lube like GT85 works pretty well. Make sure the bolts are properly tight afterwards.
If it is in the frame use some carbon seat post prep, fibre grip or similar

It's the clamp, I'll give it a lube.

I'm a skeksis I mean sceptic so tend to look for studies that prove/disprove claims before shelling out up to £30 for 15g of silicone sealant or snake oil. Dermatix has been studied whereas Bio oil hasn't (to my knowledge/googling).

Really? I found steroid injections left me with scars :(

Chicks, I am informed, dig scars

I dig myself, does that count?

Do chicks dig hats then?

No, hicks dig chats.

Am i doing it right?
