Ive got short legs for my height and I have to use an inline seatpost to get everything in the right place in relation to the bottom bracket and the seatpost gripping the centre of the saddle rails. I had been using a seatpost I wont hear a bad word about as it served me very faithfully , a bikehut inline type. After purchasing the short sleeve jersey of my dreams, the Santini Cima Coppi, I decided Id like a really high quality seatpost. Id read not a bad word about the Thomson Inline so I knew what to go for straight away. £59 delivered from CRC and it arrived at my home 2 weeks ago. The weight comparison with the old trusty bikehut was immediately obvious as the Thomson felt feather light by comparison. It was a breeze to install and attaching the saddle, levelling it and setting fore/aft was childsplay. To say that post holds the seat in position in a vicelike grip is an understatement as my saddle has not budged one iota. Killer build quality, lightweight, bulletproof warranty, built to last for ages and a stonking price.......how can a buyer lose with a Thomson !!
Who else uses a Thomson and how are you finding yours ?

Thomson seatpost and stem. Fitted to my best bike. As you say brilliant pieces of kit and you get that neat little bag to put things in

Good seatposts but they look industrial.0

I think that's the appeal. They are really well made. Have the layback Elite seatpost and X4 stem on my Stumpy. excellent fit and forget bits of kit. Would probably prefer a carbon seatpost on my road bike though for a little more buzz absorbtion

I'd say that you'd get away with one on a titanium frame, the layback post looks like a plumber has angled a bit of tube with his pipe bending vice.
It's personal choice and the world would be shite without it.0 -

Why? If someone says they think they are crap, are you going to suddenly dislike yours, or is this just another route for you to fuel your argumenative side which pops up all to often.Raffles wrote:Ive got short legs for my height and I have to use an inline seatpost to get everything in the right place in relation to the bottom bracket and the seatpost gripping the centre of the saddle rails.

Answered it already with your responses to people who were not so favourable in their support of your favourite seat post.
