I’m 6’2 with fairly long legs, and weigh 120kg.
That might have something to do with it!
Heralding any seatpost as “un-bendable” is “overrating” it! and in this respect Thomson seatposts are one of the most overrated products on the market, doesn’t mean they are not a good product, they are indeed both strong and fairly light but most (even cheap) seatposts of around the same weight will also bend before they snap.
I don’t think anyone mentioned them being unbendable, a couple of us have mentioned how we’d be impressed to see someone managed to bend one agreed. At 75ish kg, and not a particularly hardcore rider, I’ve bent a few seatposts and saddle rails in the past, but like I said, never a Thomson. Nothing is perfect, but they’re one of the strongest offerings out there, and the weight is still pretty good, whilst also not being silly expensive, which means they’re popular.
messiah’s Balfa was asking for trouble! That is one small frame, and one long seatpost! Haha. Expect it was fun to ride though…
