Alright folks,
Looking to get an adjustable seatpost but concerned that there isn't one long enough!
I currently use a Thomson 410mm layback post and it's not too far off the limit line.
Has anyone had a similar problem? Anyone know of an adjustable post that measures up to be pretty long?
Thanks in advance!
Have a search for RISE racing in the states ... I'm sure theirs are pretty long as they have a 9" drop!
I think the longest Gravity Dropper is 425mm long at full extension, so that would be OK.
I'm 6'3" with a large Blood (which is pretty small at 17") and I've got the 425 GD with adjustment to spare.
Ah nice. I hadn't seen the 425mm version of the Gravity Dropper.
And a 9" drop!!! That's madness!
Cheers folks!
The new Rockshox post is over 400mm IIRC.
You lot need to get some bigger bikes or accept you want a BMX.
Maybe some people have long legs for their height, so don't want a large bike as it would be too long in the top-tube. Not everyone is as perfectly proportioned as you obviously are.
6'3" on a 17" frame is well outside outrageous proportions. I've tried riding Mrs TT's 17" bike and it is all kinds of teeny-tiny wrong.
For the record, I have long legs in proportion to my torso! 6'2" and riding a large Nicolai. Any larger frame would be way too long in the top tube.
People are different sizes!
Cheers for the info people.
There's nothing wrong with a 17" Blood for a gent of my proportions. The seatpost feels a bit precarious at times, but the bike is meant to be that shape.
