Honestly speaking, sometimes you just feel so lazy to lower your seatpost when you reach a sketchy downhill or its already too late to change your seatpost height.......or it breaks your flow. Well some riders have notice this problem and decided to make their own seatpost and I must say that if you are a All-Mountain rider, this kind of seatpost would really benefit you.
Adjustable seatpost isnt a new thing. Im sure most of you guys know Gravity Dropper and some may even heard of Maverick Speedball seatpost. So why do you think Im posting about adjustable seatpost?
Although this product didn get much attention, but it has found its way to a few riders and have slowly gain its reputation. Introducing to you the All Mountain Post Its weight is the second lightest among its competitors, although the weight is only negligible.
The weight of the post is 471 gram/16.61 ounce, thats 11gram lighter then Maverick Speedball R (494 gram/17.43 ounce) and 27gram lighter then Gravity Dropper (498 gram/17.56 ounce). Its heavier then Maverick Speedball (non remote) which weights 454 gram/ 16.01 ounce.
Meanwhile, the price of the seatpost is not stated, I have emailed them and will post about the price ASAP.
