capeofstorms Posted November 14, 2009 Share Hi Anyone buy a planet x superlight saddle over the past week? The width of the rails seems too wide and does not seem to fit on a standard seatpost I tried it on a thomson elite seatpost but won't fit. Anyone else have the same problem. What seatpost is this saddle meant to fit on? Regardscapeofstorms2009-11-14 11:44:32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Brunsdon Posted November 16, 2009 Share I just fitted my saddle this morning and no problems. Rails are exactly the same width as my OEM SDG. I also have a stock standard OEM seatpost. But on the saddle, wow!!! Really awesome and what a pleasure to have a descent saddle. I now understand why everyone spends money on it. I must say that with this saddle you would need to spend 3-4 times the prices to get something better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capeofstorms Posted November 17, 2009 Share Hi Cbrunson What seatpost did you install it on? This is very weird. Spoke to Kiwi and he thinks its freakish. I eventually had to buy a Fizik Arione to install on the Thomson Elite. The width of the rail for the Plane X saddle is 50mm and for the Arione 48mm. Doesn't make sense as I thought this should all be standard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRBVI Posted November 17, 2009 Share That does sound strange, bought my second one and used it for 94.7 road and it fitted fine on my Specialized seatpost. Used my previous one on a thompson with no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreZA Posted November 17, 2009 Share I have one on my Thomson and it fits better then the Charge Spoon which I had to wiggle open a bit wider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capeofstorms Posted November 17, 2009 Share Hi Then the only conclusion that I can come to then is that the Thomson Elite seatpost that I bought a week back from an LBS in tygervalley for R750 is defective!! What is the standard for the width of the rails, outer to outer. I'm told 50mm capeofstorms2009-11-17 03:57:04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
