Product Information

How to measure the seatpost diameter? The easiest and most accurate method is to use calipers (Vernier, or digital), as shown in picture 2. Measuring seatpost diameter using calipers. Aero road bikes come with aero seatposts. These are flatter and designed to channel air more seamlessly, limiting the resistance that slows you down. The seatpost is one of the most important parts of your bicycle. A good seatpost supports the majority of your weight on the bike and must be able to withstand that weight while maintaining the appropriate angle for your ride and without moving. While the seatpost your bike comes with is likely adequate for the job at hand, for those looking to upgrade their kit or replace one that broke, a new seatpost offers an opportunity to cut weight and even add some suspension to reduce vibration, making it easier to ride farther.

Don’t punch it in. If it can’t be eased in by hand, it’s probably too wide. Forcing it in makes it very, very difficult to move or take out later. It might even damage some frames. Can’t understand that much of a mismatch. I value quality and precision over quantity, but it seems that many manufacturers have a different view on that. No other explanation comes to mind. One (precise) measurement is often better than a thousand expert opinions”– author’s expert opinion. 🙂In short, no. Seatposts are an area where bike manufacturers seek to make gains in weight, aerodynamics and comfort – so there are a whole range of different types that come with different bikes. BikeYoke’s Divine is one of the best posts out there – the less sophisticated hydraulics make it a little cheaper, but more importantly, enables easy travel adjustment.
