Yo all,
Just thinking about getting a bit more use out of my bmx, mainly just for blemming around the town rather than be overbiked on me chunky-tyred mtb.
short seat post is great for doing tricks n shizzle, but i'm not v.good at that..
is there such a thing as a long seat post for a bmx or am i being silly?
Errrr, yes they do exist, but why? For the cost of a seatpost you could get a BSO from JJB/halfords/ASDA which would be more practical!
You'll probably be stabbed to death!
MTFU or sell it

go for it
We have 450mm posts in 27.2,
No sHame in extra post.
Put a hinge in the middle of your frame and hey presto, you'll have a Brompton.
all the chavs round here ride BMXs with massive posts so they can ride them sat down.
Charlie, what are they and do you have 450mm 30.9 posts?
most modern BMX use 25.4 seatposts
Better to be over-biked than under-geared.
whats a BSO?
i wont be undergeared for the town as its pretty flat and right nearby.
clearly i need to get some burberry too in order to fit in with the chavs on bmxs.
could be the new niche. 🙂
any more pics btw? the burner looks good.. any action shots?
A few pivotal-style posts are available in longer length (you'll need a new pivotal seat though).

Look out for the Alienation Billyclub and King Flagpole too.

I will assume you are after a 25.4mm post, as you haven't stated what size you are looking for. Most BMXs are 25.4mm
I had the same issue but could only find 200mm posts in 25.4mm.
They are out there, finding a long one in stock is another thing though.
I got a Thomson 330mm 25.4mm which is holding up fine, and quite comfy.
You can get a quite a few bmx race posts in 25.4, 26.8 and 27.2 around 400mm
If its a race bmx then it will most likely 27.2 unless its a redline 26.8.
I have a 400mm 26.8 in my redline. I ride a local loop doing sprint sessions and generally quite like bombing around on it. QR clamp to slam it when i'm at the track.,
thanks for the replys all,
i think its around 25.4mm or so, but will check with my digicaliper.
at least i know they're available and something others have tried/use.
