Thomson posts have got the long axis of the internal ovalisation going across the bike.
Does this mean they are intended to flex fore and aft, but not sideways ?

They're thicker front to back to make them stronger/stiffer in that direction and thinner side to side where they don't need to be so strong/stiff.

No, they all got chucked in the bin after the owners had to have spinal corrective surgery.

Are you still running one? I'm surprised you're not a parapelgic.

No, on those the clamp snaps off and leaves a jaggedy undercarraige remover protruding

What you really need is an iPost

I heard if you install the iPost in a certain way, it ejects the saddle.

No, you need the iTool to do that.

That would be a person who owns an iPhone then?

I did always wonder why you don't have one... would perfectly match your other lifestyle accessories and I'm sure I've seen you in a poloneck...

I heard if you're on the deluxe iCare package, Steve Jobs comes out personally to show you how to hold your iTool.

Would that be a Hand Jobs then?
