quickdraw Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Hi, checkd these out and they are freaky light. Anybody using a kcnc seatpost on their MTB? What is the verdict on these posts regarding durability?
dylankeyter Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Scandium, I reckon you can't go wrong with their goods. I think they retail for about R750, worth the money in my opinion. Would choose scandium over carbon any day.
stringbean Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Was also worried when i saw how light and cheap they were but a year later and a Epic and Epic training on the bar and stem i have to say noooooo problems at all.Bar ends are a bit soft and won't survive a crash otherwise all there products are great.(except their lightweight clusters,they are crap)
Racer X Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 My 27.2 x 350 weighs 142 grams, it is a Ti-Lite Pro.
GT oke Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 do you know where i can get some pics of that seatpost pls.. might want to buy one of them
singletrackmind Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Ok im in... will be seeing one of those posts on my bike soon.
quickdraw Posted August 25, 2008 Author Posted August 25, 2008 Between the kcnc (not sure on the model, but the VERY minimal looking one) and a Thomson - would the weight difference be worth the surety of a Thomson
oclv110 Posted August 25, 2008 Posted August 25, 2008 Been riding one for over a month,and know a friend (hefty chap) who has been riding the same for over two years.
wheelz Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 I have a KCNC scandium seat post,stem and handlebars. they are the BEST! they sooooper light and really strong. Its the best investment iv made on my bike!
CAAD4 Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 Most lbs stock the KCNC stuff or at least can get it. Otherwise look up Shamus the Hubber, who will direct you to your closest stockist.
Goodbadugly Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 I have a KCNC ti pro lite post, bar ends and KCNC Scandium BoneSL bar. No problems. Lighter than most. But check out the seatpost bolts. http://forums.mtbr.com/showthread.php?t=356880&highlight=KCNC+seatpost+recall Steel bolts will add 10 grams (Yes, I weighed them) and cost R 2.20
Hentus Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 i've got the scadium bar, stem, barends seatpost,seatclamp, skewers on my mtb. i weigh round bout 93, no worries
