It doesn't seem like Superstar are doing the KS i850 anymore?
So who else sells them? I need a 27.2 seatpost and was thinking of one of these, but don't want to spend big money on a Gravity dropper, Crank Bros or the i900?
Or if anyone has one they want to get rid of???
lots of other shops sell the i850.....
Just a thought....
DrP
This really is a case of "you get what you pay for".
Crank Bros on CRC at the moment for £110 upwards 😯
Its a basic up/down mechanism, there is no need for hydraulic damping or fancy coatings like there are on suspension forks.
To pay £200 for somthing that is essentially so simple grates a bit.
What's wrong with trying the concept for sub £100?? It might look basic, it might look naff, it might need cleaning and it might be heavy but don't the expensive ones?
I've did a quick search on google and couldn't seem to find anywhere, hence "where do I get one"?
The cheap Joplins around just now seem to be largely Joplin 3s, which are totally s***t sadly.
I'd say that if you want one, do it right, the good ones are obviously too expensive for what they are but they keep working, what price would you put on frustration-free use and no rides spoiled?
Hey bud
probably wont work on a 27.2, but if you get a telescoopic post with qr (used for bikes with interrupted seat tubes.
stick a shock spring in it, drill a hole and place a screw in the post to stop the spring falling out and hey presto..
a friend of mine did it and it works surprisingly well... cost abot £20
the i850 is a heavy POS - a mate's lasted half of one ride before disintegrating (admittedly it was the Mega qualifier). They are all heavy but the i850 is ridiculously heavy.
