Evening all,
after some advice on easton posts, looking at havoc/vice style post, will be 27.2 size for the Cotic Soul,
Now as a relatively lardy bloke (16st) it appears i can bend seatposts quite easily if the cheapo 27.2 ive got in is anything to go by! No crashes with it and general Xc riding! and my previous Kore lite 28.6 which is a few bikes old has also a slight bend in it,
i'm not an up and down type post rider, like to set it at the height and thats it, leave it be!
a 350mm will give me a good couple of inch's below the toptube in the seatstay,
are they good up to the job posts?? worht the money?? would i be better looking at a 400mm EA70 instead?? specifically Easton aas the LBS can get them in and do me a Good price on them! 8)
any help and pointers gratefully recieved!!!
