topic split.

if that is where you want your saddle get an inline one. the correct size will be marked on your current post.

FSA carbon posts seam really heavy to me.

ok any other suggestions for seatposts I don't want to spend anymore than £60 on one!
What about the suitability of a carbon seatpost for an 18 stone bloke :oops:

If I was 18 stone, I wouldn't. I'm 8.5 stone, and I still don't. If you drop your seatpost or anything, then carbon isn't the thing for you. Get a Thomson instead.

I'd get a SMICA Pro
