Hog_ Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 Are you talking about shock-absorbing posts, or height adjustable posts? I know the new 'Goose range comes with a KS adjustable post which is supposed to be awesome.
Loon Posted November 26, 2008 Author Posted November 26, 2008 Well.... A suspension seat post would not be an adjustable seat post... .. Its for the misses... What I really want to fin out is does is absorb small washboard bumps as well as some bigger ones for a 48kg rider?
Loon Posted November 26, 2008 Author Posted November 26, 2008 LOL... already running her bike on tubelss 1.7bar...
Fulmenicilus Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 48kg! Just drop the tyre pressure! For sure! She's so light a suspension seat post won't even recognise her presence!
Hog_ Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 Then tell her to harden the fk up! Heard of people using Thudbusters and the like, not sure how well they work. I would suggest reading some reviews on mtbr for a bit more insight.
Loon Posted November 26, 2008 Author Posted November 26, 2008 I have... And nearly got a cast iron pan to the side of my head... been reading up about them. All the guys are or 80kg's and say it is great. And them mention that they got one for their misses. But no ladies have come to write any reviews...
Loon Posted November 26, 2008 Author Posted November 26, 2008 does anyone here have one for sale perhaps?
niterider Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 My '04 Epic partner ran the USE suspension post for that Epic. By the end of the Epic it had developed serious play. USE - not recommended.
Iwan Kemp Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 Cane Creek Thudbuster.Nuff said Definitely.
slowpoke Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 ThudBuster and just put in the appropriate little "plug" thingies (i forget what they're called). i weighed 54kg at the time i used mine for crater cruise and it definitely helped
Moab Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 Loon - that bike of your gal has a shock! no way the ride will be uncomfortable!
Loon Posted November 26, 2008 Author Posted November 26, 2008 I know Di CPD. But thought she would like it, and just dont have the $$$ for that Scott Contessa Genius for her... And look after that bike... (i.e. keep it clean)Loon2008-11-26 06:58:22
