varkie2 Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 To all the Gurus. I just bought a brand new epic in XL, and i need a longer seatpost (the stock one is 400 and i am quite a bit past the minimum insert, i am 1.98m tall) . Does anyone know where i can find a 27.2/430mm seatpost. Preferrable non dropper. I need to get on the bike asap. Thanx
Eldron Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 I know Thomson make a 410mm - they might make longer - do some googling....
Sarge Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Hi V,I looked for a longer post recently and it was only the Thomson that I could find. Good luck.Sarge
Surv0MTB Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Ummm I bought a Thomson 410mm Elite set back seat post. Made all the difference for me. Im about the same height. 197cm..
jimmycool Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 How about a folding bike seat post- those things are really long. http://i.stack.imgur.com/7jw4P.jpg
Hennie VR Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 KCNC Lite wing comes in a 550mm length. You might have to ask your LBS to order it for you though http://www.kcnc.com.tw/products.php?func=p_detail&p_id=127&pc_parent=14 DIameter might be a problem
V12man Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 Speak to simpledom - he has the longest post I have ever seem - also 198

The setback might help solve the problem. PM me if you're interested (I live close to you).
Lurch the stalker Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 To echo what everyone else has said, Thomson. I'm running one on my Epic. I stand 1,96
varkie2 Posted February 10, 2016 Author Posted February 10, 2016 Thanx for the help guys, i managed to order a gusset lofty 450 from overseas, but in the meantime i made a plan with the current 400, extended it with a milled piece of alloy, pressed fitted and loctited into the old one, and voiala, a 450 post.
