Hi All,

While trying to do a drop yesterday, to impress some girls (succeeding
in
neither), I landed my 87 kilos on my poor KORE seatpost in a very
inelegant
and brutal fashion, so now I have a nice angled seatpost... (about 5 to
10
degrees I'd reckon, still rideable...)

A breaking seatpost is probably one of the last things I want happening
in
the field (have no offspring yet, so better protect 'em jewels...), so
I'm
looking for a new one.

My question is this; what seat posts are strong? I don't so much mind
the
weight, as a few grams won't make a difference once I have myself and 5
kgs
of stuff on it (The wonderful thing about being the one who bought a
CamelBak, you get to haul everybodys stuff... .

My frame takes 27.2 mm seatposts. I know that's not going to change, but
are
larger diameter posts more sturdy?

Thanks in advance?

Bo

PS: And to add insult to injury, I made a face plant today. On asphalt.
On
the way home from the store. So now I have a bfat lib. Morale: stick to
the
trails.


If you get a Titec knock rated seatpost at least they will replace it
for you if you do that again.


but you can't replace testicles (working), yet at least not yet...
