How to Choose a Bicycle Seat Posts
There are many types of
bicycle seat posts available. Carbon fiber and aluminum are light weight, while steel and titanium are strong and durable. You should carefully consider the type of post you purchase before purchasing a bicycle. There are also special designs for cyclists who ride on a flat course. A good seat post can increase the comfort and safety of the bike.
Seat post length is an important factor in choosing the right seat post. Not only does the seat post length affect maximum and minimum seat heights, it also affects the weight of the bike. Longer posts are typically heavier than shorter posts and are less flexible. A short seat post is not recommended for regular cyclists.
Another important aspect of a seat post is the setback or layback. The layback describes the angle change between the saddle and the seat post pole. The layback is measured in angle units, and generally ranges from 0 to 35 degrees. On the other hand, a seat post that is too short may be cut or shortened to fit a smaller bicycle.
Narrow tyres require a seatpost with more flex to accommodate them. For example, Ergon's CF3 seatpost is designed to accommodate narrow tyres that are 30mm to 50mm wide. The Canyon S13 VCLS is another option. Similarly, the Ritchey WCS Flexlogic is a good choice for people with plus-size tyres.
