I know it sounds a daft question but I use a 410mm Tompson seat post er alot stiff and it hurts
So anyone recommend a er flexi seat post not a thud buster etc
Ta in advance
comfier saddle?
Anything carbon. You also get some nice Ti posts. Thomsons are pretty stiff though!
I use a Charge Spoon which is comfortable and I do have a bit of padding on my arse 😳
what's the bike?
16" 456 with alot of seatpost showning and 2.25" tyres
and no I do not want to go back to a full susser
I've got a Raceface Next stuck in a plastic 27.2-31.6 shim, with a ti railed saddle. Should be flexy as hell, honestly, I can barely feel any difference between all that and my 31.6, enormously heavy bontrager alu post.
Ti spoon is suppose to be a bit comfier btw.
Maybe try standing up more when you're going over bumps.
Easton EC70 CNT - have one on my Soul and it offers a good amount of flex, certainly as much as the Ti post I had several years ago. Does make for more comfortable longer rides.
Get a bigger bike so you have more bike / less of a single tube to absorb the forces.
Just replaced the Thomson post with an Eriksen Ti on my Pegasus and the difference in comfort is noticeable. Not sure it's worth the $$ though. Have you got a decent pair of shorts? Getting some Sugoi RS shorts made more difference for me than either saddle or seatpost.
USE alu posts, very flexy.
