RX Carbon

 

Soft 300mm - 316g Satin Carbon

 

Medium 300mm - 316g Satin Carbon

 

Hard 300mm - 316g Satin Carbon

 

 

 

It looks like you get 3 diff. setups

 

 

 

Now if you use one off these on the carbon hardtail, is this going to be a good option?

 

 

 

What is the advantages? Dis-Advantages ?

 

 

 

Who is using one of this on his MTB?

THese posts only help when you are sitting down. you will still get alot of bobbing when you stand.

 

Ask Slowpoke, she's got a Thudbuster.

Also it changes the distance from the top of your saddle to the centre of you BB constantly, not sure if this is a good or a bad thing but I quite like my seat height staying stable.

Mampara - I read this post sitting and standing but no bob, am I doing something wrong?

Not really going to keep the rear wheel down over the rough stuff like a rear shock would. Means less traction on bumpy uphills, but a more comfortable bum!

Are you making fun of me? I will get my other five buddies to beat you up and spray you with pepper spray.

YOU better watch it.  As a MTBer BigBen uses pepper spray for deodorant!!!

I always thought it was some sort of ineffective aphrodesiac?

[NotSoBigBen]

5 buddies and pepper spray? I scoff at that! You should have seen us last week 2 against 8, and did we stuff those 2 up! You better believe it.

So, what have pepperspray to do with my questions?

 

 

 

Just asking.

Back to the SHOCK - only buy that seatpost when you're really tired of using your knees... actually, it would just be easier to get the Cycling 6 to smash them with a baseball bat. As mentioned, your seatpost length changes constantly and plays havoc on knees... if you're gonna go that way, rather get a Thudbuster as the parallelogram design reduces this effect.

Buff, so its not a good idea if you think that I'm planning to do the Epic with it. Rather get a solid carbon post?

[Thug]

 

If you're going to do the Epic, rather get a DS !

 

Failing that, then a Thudbuster seatpost will help alleviate some of the pain your A$$ is going to feel

Popeye, don't listen to the naysayers. They work very well and you don't bob up & down the whole time - the spring strength keeps you at the top of the stroke until you hit a bump. My partner used one on Epic & it worked like a bomb. You don't want the SX though - that's the short travel road version. You want the XCR carbon. Check them all out on the USE website http://www.use1.com/

Thanks Monty.

 

 

 

Thug, I did this years Epic on a Trance2, I own a Dual Suspension bike.

 

 

 

I just though of going faster, bit stiffer on the climbs (but also don't want to break the spinal cord)
