Anyway, time for part 4 : If you have been doing a lot of browsing over the net, you might realise that CrankBrothers isnt the first company to make a 4 sided pedal. Look is actually the original maker of 4 sided pedal. So what am I trying to point out?
Well for 2008, instead of going through the trouble of inventing a new adjustable seatpost, CrankBrothers decided to use another company adjustable seatpost design and relabelled it as theirs.
The product is called Joplin (see pic below)
Those who have been a frequent reader will notice that the seatpost look very familiar. Well of coarse you do!, I posted a article bout adjustable seatpost before ( click here, if you forget about it).
So anyway its obvious that the seatpost has been bought from Maverick, CrankBrothers have been very secretive bout its newly bought product. So far what I can guess is since its bought from Maverick, its mostlike to have this specifications:
Length : 382mm
Weight : 454 gram/16.01 ounce
Diameter : 30.9 and 31.6
Im not sure if CrankBrothers is planning to release a remote version of Joplin and if CrankBrothers is planning to release a different diameter (smaller is good) of the seatpost. Also if they are going to be a lighter weight version of the seatpost. There is no word bout the price yet.
The advantage of CrankBrothers taking over Maverick Speedball seatpost is it will be easier to obtain and customer support will be no problem.
Hmm, so I have covered all of CrankBrothers new and improved product for 2008, the rest of the current product will just get some slight updates, so I wont be writing bout them. Please email me if you are interested in me writing bout them too.
