Is a carbon seatpost any good on a steel hardtail , I thought they slipped and would I gain anymore comfort from one ?????

Use the special carbon paste to hold it securely. And yes, you should feel a little more “give”.

Thanks will look into it

I changed from a carbon post on my Cotic and it was not as smooth, bloody uncomfortable infact, back to carbon for me

Hijack- any recommendations on a carbon seatpost for a Cotic Soul?

Bontrager Race X-lite?
As cotic have as an option when you buy the frame

I have a old Easton CT2 on my Simple it’s nice unlike the EA50

Some carbon seat posts are going for £20 on Planet X website and also On-One store (adjustable tilt ones are £20 and 260grams).

I have a superstar carbon post (bargain from the classifieds) on my Genesis io and I have had no probs with it slipping. It is way more comfortable than the original post and I want another one for when I get my Pompino.

Crikey and FSA one for £20… got to be a bargain.
