or is Thomson the best?, must be avaliable in 27.2, light weight but on stupidly so and i’m scared of carbon in that area

Hope Eternity, Pro FRS is a good budget option.

Nuke Proof seems decent and cheaper than a Thomson.

can’t get 27.2 though i don’t think

I’ve gone from Thomson to the I-beam. (and I-fly saddles) cheap, loads of adjustment, comfy, and because no one seems to want them if you buy a post you often get the saddle thrown in free.

If you can get past Thomson, Smica.

Why not Thomson?

thomson are good but quite pricey for the weight

I’ve yet to break a Thomson post, while I have broken two other leading makes. If you have ever travelled ten miles home with no seatpost you will know that it is best avoided.

Easton do an inline carbon and I think they have a similar ordinary version!!!!

buy cheap buy twice……………or buy thomson 8)

I agree. Race face, Easton and FSA all broken. Thomson 10 years and still going strong.

Thomson bent. Try Blackspire…

I’ve said it before…

Thomson = the BMW (or now Audi?) of the mountainbike world.

Who was it said that free will no longer exists?

free willy?

Hope Eternity, USE Sumo. Eastons aren’t far off inline

I snapped the rails off an Ibeam saddle on it’s 3rd ride. Biggish crash, but still less than impressed.

There’s always the Thomson Masterpiece is you want proper light, proper expensive and can get away with a 330mm length.

Bonded head, mine came unstuck and spun on the shaft, and trying to get the Lifetime warrenty honoured was a waste of time

NC-17 EMpire something or other. Not had a problem with mine.

cheap light strong

Choose 2

Thomson all the way for me
