I'm right behind you on that.It could well be true. Ebiking can give you triathlete's butt syndrome. I know that things have tightened up a bit. Guys and gals, take note. It worked for me down there. Maybe it will work for you too.
Now, I just need a gadget to improve my six pack..

Suspension seat post
- Thread starter 10JP
- Start date
I'd like to strongly recommend this - BikeHut Bike Bicycle Alloy In-Line Suspension Seat Post - 27.2mm 28.6mm. It's a quality basic seatpost that has a 28.6mm shim included, if you need that particular size of shim. I didn't use the shim, but I did use one of the 3 differing weight springs that are also included.
It's very well made with strong components and the springs are well greased.

Tempted to get one of those....dont want to spend loads as Ive never tried one before.
Is the tilt angle of the seat adjustable with it?
I had to jiggle the 2 bolts to get it level and right for me. Initially the back stuck up because I'd tightened one off completely too soon. The rounded plate at the bottom is loose and turns to whichever way you want it to.
I just did a test ride and took my 5 year old grandson for a 'backy', sat on the bikerack bag. Solid.
OK, cheers.....my seat is quite a lot higher in comparison to yours....i could actually do with my handle bars higher but thats another story........ so I tend to try and get the front of the seat pointing slightly up...looks like that lower U piece is serrated to move it up or down a bit which would work
Dont do that if it means losing your position.....Im hoping to have my atrocity back on the road for the weekend, and need to nip to halfords to get a new brake cable so can take a closer look when i go
Too late.. I wanted to know anyhow. It's not serrated. However it locks in pretty good with the two bolts. I did before and after pics 'jumping on the seat' type tests, simulating an extreme cross country ride. It never budged at anytime. So, here's a few pics in different positions. The most angled, back and forth, that I could do.
The bolts are of good quality. Quite often they're made of cheese!

Short of castrating yourself, it's not likely to move from your preferred seat position.
Is 27.2 the correct size for your seat-tube?Dont do that if it means losing your position.....Im hoping to have my atrocity back on the road for the weekend, and need to nip to halfords to get a new brake cable so can take a closer look when i go
Got to be honest...Im not sure. Ive been trying to find out, but cant find it anywhere online.
Ive reserved it, but dont have to pick it up...I'll measure the post when I get home
Good illustrations LeighPing.Too late.. I wanted to know anyhow. It's not serrated. However it locks in pretty good with the two bolts.

No problem.Put the post on this morning....what a difference it makes!
Cant obviously compare to an expensive one as I have never tried one, but for £12, its an absolute bargain.
Thanks for the tip LeighPing
Which spring did you use?
