BrandonF_ Posted May 16, 2014 Share On a hardtail, 1) a bit of ''give" or Flex 2) slight vibration dampening. On a dual I have found it not needed at all besides weight gain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gummibear Posted May 16, 2014 Share MTB Seat post.What other benefits are there besides the weight gain if one had to fit a carbon seat post? Not many...but you get to sit with your riding buddy while the Dr's take carbon splinters out. Seen a few carbon posts break in the last while.

Pusher Posted May 16, 2014 Share Thanks guys. Busy upgrading my handlebars on my 29er dual and was wondering if it was worthwhile to do the seat post at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BogusOne Posted May 16, 2014 Share 90% of the cheaper/budget carbon components is carbon wrapped aluminium so not really worth it. gummibear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
