Default Who makes a strong seat post?

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?

Old Syncros seatposts are quite good, if you can find one on ebay. New
Syncros (after their sale to GT, and subsequent resales. Hopefully Tom
Ritchey resurrects the old quality with the name) seatposts evidently
suffered from quality issues. Old Syncros posts can be recognized by
the lettering, where the letters are upright when the post is
vertical, as opposed to the new ones, where the letters are upright
when the post is horizontal.
ie
|S|
|Y|
|N|
|C|
|R|
|O|
|S| is old.

Syncros mind you is strong and light, I'm afraid I can't help you with
your strong and heavy search.
