Love my Dali post

hateish but actually quite like now i have one

id love an eriksen though

Used to like them, but now I have a frame that fits properly.

bought one but never loved it. Now use a EC70 which I do have positive feelings for.

Ugly but functional. Used to have one. Happy to have an inline one now 🙂

Love mine and it's got bugger all to do with an ill fitting frame – I could achieve exactly the same saddle position with a normal layback clamp, or an in-line post.

It's looks suit my Enduro SL perfectly, it doesn't scratch, and is a quality piece of kit.

Oh, and Marmite rocks.

love it. as said, nout about an ill fitting frame. just work nice and looks good.

Exactly TheArtistFormerlyKnownAsSTR – at least someone else understands the concept of a layback post! i.e. any non-inline post does the same thing but with a straight shaft.

I like it sometimes, I hate it sometimes. Just like Marmite.

I had one on my bike for ages, but got fed-up not being able to slam the seatpost for DH days. Swapped it for a straight one and just moved the saddle all the way back on the rails.

Like Marmite.
Don't like the bent Thomson posts.

seeing as 99% of frames are designed arround a layback post, id say anyone with a normal thompson post is on the wrong size……………

Looks less stupid than a normal layback seatpost (FSA etc)

it doesn't scratch,

My cotic as decimated my thomson 🙁

FUGLY!

I think it sets an already handsome bike off beautifully.

You've just totally[/b] made that up!

Good bit of kit, got one on my road bike, I'm hoping it upsets a roadie or two.

look at 95% of complete bike builds johnners ….they have layback posts – straight shafts with a layback head on ….coincidently its generally 25mm of layback ala thomson …. thomson just execute there layback in a nicer mannor imho

i'm not convinced from a design point of view that a 'regular' layback post is that good, cos all the weight goes on the clamp which has to be offset behind the post. much rather the clamp was inline with the post and the post was bent…

99%, 95% – anyone else got a number seemingly plucked from thin air?

its a horrible seatpost, whether frames are meant to have layback or not they shouldn't have to look like that 😆

Pi?
(It's what makes wheels work)

Up walking at Leith Hill a while back and some guy had a fairly new bling Stumpjumper FSR with a Thomson layback but the wrong way around…well, if it works for him then fine but it did look odd and it looks pretty odd the normal way around.

iirc thomson recommend you mount them backwards in certain situations (well, only one – turning a regular road bike into a tt/tri bike)

Not mine btw.

Wow, as if Mav's couldn't get any more fugly.

Twohats – that pic just made me turn my head to one side.

lol @ higgo
Im sure i can see a can of pepsi coming out of the brickwork, you know the magic eye ones you had to look at for 10 minutes whilst going cross eyed.
