Product Description
The Elite Setback Seatpost, proudly made in the USA by Thomson, is a top - notch choice for cyclists. It's built for long - lasting performance. With its long seat rail cradle, it effectively stops saddle rails from bending and comes with captive hardware. You can enjoy infinite tilt adjustment from - 5 degrees to +29 degrees. The post and cradle are crafted from a single piece of 7000 aluminum, ensuring both strength and a great strength - to - weight ratio. It has a 41mm seat rail grip length, much longer than most competitors, which helps prevent seat rail bending under impact. With a 16mm setback, it offers the right positioning. This seatpost is over 40% stronger on ultimate strength tests than the strongest production seatposts in the market and has double the fatigue life of other tested models. It's incredibly lightweight, about 201 grams for road bikes (250 length) and 228 grams for mountain bikes (330 length). Certified to EN 14766 2006 MTB and DIN CERTCO: 2006 MTB, it meets high - quality standards. It features a bending fuse to prevent catastrophic failure, and its clamp, head, and upper tube can withstand 350 foot - lbs of torque. All parts are captive, making it easy to attach to a seat. The low - profile clamps ensure no seat interference. The impact - absorbing clamps protect the seat, rails, and rider. Specifications include a 27.2mm diameter, 250mm length, 16mm offset, black color, max height of 152mm, min height of 64mm, standard rail clamp style, and a weight of 180g.
Using the Thomson Elite Setback Seatpost is a breeze. First, make sure your bike's seat tube diameter matches the 27.2mm diameter of this seatpost. Then, attach the seat to the seatpost using the captive hardware without having to disassemble anything. You can adjust the tilt of the seat anywhere from - 5 degrees to +29 degrees to find your most comfortable riding position. When installing, don't over - tighten the clamp. The tube will start to yield and bend at about 250 foot - lbs of torque, so keep it below that. For maintenance, regularly check the hardware for tightness. After riding in wet or muddy conditions, clean the seatpost with a damp cloth and dry it thoroughly. This will help keep it in good working order and ensure its long - lasting performance.
