Which Seatpost?

leaflite

My current seatpost keeps coming loose and making the saddle move, so ive decided to upgrade.
Which one should I buy?

I would like it to be below 260g ideally. I am on a budget, so under £30 would be nice too.

thanks

You didnt mention post diameter, type of riding or length so try loking at these. I recomend the Easton ones tho.

It will be used for general trail riding. I tend to have the saddle quite low so not too bothered about the length. I havent measured the diameter yet, but will do before buying!

Sure it's not the clamp coming loose?

What happens is the saddle comes loose from the thing that attaches it to the seatpost. The seatpost is a single bolt design, and i'm told this is a common problem with single bolt posts.

smicas are fantastic.

Right, ive measured up and I need a 27.2, 350mm long post.

I had various Ritchey seatposts incl. a one bolt WCS and I thought that they were awful. The saddle always slipped & the front lifted when I put my arse on it.

I bought a SDG I-beam seatpost & a SDG Formula FXR saddle for £60 2 weeks ago (Brand new from an ebay shop). I think it was an excellent purchase. I think the seatpost was very light too

How about this, if you're quick.
