Seat posts: Carbon vs Alloy

[duanelr]

Hi all,

 

So I've decided to get a new seat post and be a weight weenie about it  

 

What are some of the lightest seatposts out there that won't break the bank?

 

Could be carbon or alloy...

 

Then has anyone have any feedback on this salt carbon seatpost? Advertised on CWC for R 999 and it weighs (apparently) 100g?

Thanks for any suggestions in advance

I always think that of I wamt to go super lightweight it should be on the component that will cause most damage to my @rse if it fails
