Can't get excited about seatposts

[tintin40]

Like sudoku,crosswords, that kind of thing :?

a fish tank with plenty space with rocks and things so it's like being in the wild are a good start. Then make him/her hunt for the food.

Ha ha, yeah I'm in 2 minds with the Thomsons tbh although I appreciate the engineering thats gone into them. I prefer a seat where the layback/offset is kind of hidden in the clamp like most others, they look better.

Getting a silver/chrome one I reckon so choices are limited by my 26.8mm seatpost size, so Thomsons are out anyway!

My frame takes a 26.8, and I wanted a Thomson, so I bought a 27.0 and worked out the relevant insertion length, masked off the exposed section, and spent half an hour "adjusting" the bottom of the post with some wet and dry paper... started with 600grit, then finished off with 800/1000 to take the scratches out. All it took off was the upper points of the machined ribbing anyway, so no structural deficit, and no damage to the exposed section
