[Closed] Weight weenie seat post help.

GNARGNAR · 2009-03-19T22:53:47Z

I've never been overly concerned with weight but I'm contemplating getting a new, lighter seat post....damn the consequences. I've snapped dh seat posts (the clamp assemblies), sheared bolts and broken seat rails so I figure I might as well not be lugging the extra weight around if it's not up to spec anyway. Problem is....I have no idea what constitutes "light". I've looked at the models on CRC where the weights are stated but there seems to be no real price to weight ratio as such. There are cheap carbon posts which aren't particularly light, very expensive ones which aren't much lighter....and well generally I am confused. So - if you please, could anyone tell me what constitutes a relatively low weight for a seat post and perhaps an example of a relatively inexpensive one (sub £50??). Cheaper the better really as it'll basically be disposable. Thanks.

I've got the EC90 and it flexes a lot, even with my weenie weight of 65 Kilo's, butt it does take some hard knocks out of the saddle/rear wheel.
