Right, so i have a Giant TCR Advanced with an integrated seatpost. The post was cut to the right size for me at the time but due to an evolving riding position and recently a more toes-down technique, i now need slightly more length – which is just not possible when it’s already cut.
Giant don’t make a longer seat post clamp, and i don’t want to sell the frame as i’ll make a massive loss and it’s by far the best bike i’ve ridden to date…
…so…
I was thinking of buying myself some carbon and building my own seatpost extension (probably built directly onto a saddle). Does anyone have any experience with this? I’ve read a fair bit about building carbon parts, but i’ve not found anyone trying to make something exactly like this. Thougts would be handy before i go and spend £50 on bits to make it, only to find that it doesn’t work and i get penetrated by carbon shards 8O.
Cheers, Pete
