Thinking of taking the plunge as there is a good offer on wiggle at the moment but i dont know of anyone who has this setup.
the saddle is the bel air sl with i-beam alu post - currently i use a bonty x-lite carbon post with a fizik gobi saddle - i guess there wont be too much of A WEIGHT DIFFERENCE but will i still have the adjustability and are the saddles comfortable?
any info greatfully received.
cheers 😀
Had a similar set up for over a year now, no problems at all and v comfy, would buy again.
I run the I-Beams, but whats' wrong with your current seat/post?
For weight reckon on about 420-440g all in.
I had an I-beam for a while, got rid because I think they look a bit pants
I like them and have them on most of my bikes.
i don't find i-beams that comfy, they're too stiff for me. for this reason they are on both my dh bikes for their strength, light weight and cheapness via various deals. the xc/trail bikes get normal sdg seats.
I really like mine - and actually just bought another post / saddle combo for my full/suss - wish I'd seen the wiggle deal earlier!
I did spot after 2 years use my 27.2 post has small cracks where the clamp meets the post. Read up on it and a few people have had issues with using then in the cold. Still didn't stop me buying another.
cheers for all your help guys - just ordered it! 😉
Bit late but fwiw very happy with mine - running it on a 666 and been bounced aroudn the Alps for a couple of weeks as well as various trail centres and XC stuff in the UK.
