|   166g 27.2X350mm titanium seatpost. | Samu Ilonen
Jan 20, 2004 11:37 PM | | My design and still prototype. So no pix about clamp yet but I can say it's 2 bolt design and suited for mtb for up to 100kg riders. Wall thickness is same as Syncross used on ti-post=solid.
It's under 130g for shorter,like road post.
I have also designed over size ti stem 120mm/-17 decree for 31.8mm bar. 115g and no flex and worring about craking like light al-stems.
Anybody interested? |
| And that seat weights 84.6g= Ax-lightness Pallas. | Samu Ilonen
Jan 20, 2004 11:39 PM | | ...because I weight 85kg and that why I need AX's heavyest seat. |

Jan 21, 2004 9:48 AM | | Who isn't interested in a seatpost you provide ?! Looks nice, pretty comfy and light as hell! How much is it going to cost? I'm interested in a 420 mm. version ; )
good luck |

Jan 21, 2004 6:11 PM | | ...and the clamp is solid and "creak" free - I think you'll have people lining up for it at 166 grams for a 350mm MTB capable post, especially the heavier weightweenies. What's the projected price? |
| Clamp is mix of Thomson/Tune or Old Roox. No worries. | Samu Ilonen
Jan 21, 2004 11:59 PM | | That 400mm may go for some people but I haven't got experiense about when 300mm of ti-post is out? Has anybody? Not broblem if you race road or weight under 75kg. (I don't want to go thicker wall,I could.) I used Syncros ti about 210mm out and weighted ~90kg when I was racing XC. Now I mainly race road races.
It had big improvement over alloy post on my Cannondale. And that was those last good Cannondales from 95'.
I must do prototype with 400mm post and load least 400kg and see how it holds before saing it it can be used full 400mm and 100kg weight.(load untill it breaks...)
I also plan to try how much carbon fibre insert ads streght for larger posts. Not round insert....
Price is about less than HALF of AX-lightness Europa (300E!!!)....
I have to talk about factory about them, They need custom ti-bolts and some fine redesign. Weight will be same but strengt will be addet even more. I'm bit comfused since I see lot of stupid,heavy and very wrong design in seat post that use good materials...look about M_ _ts post etc. Studing basic physic are not taken care properly?
