Suspension Seatpost

[Taff]

How are you getting on with the Suntour Taff? Quite fancy one myself.

Works fine but I also needed to put a fatter gel seat with it. Together they're comfortable.

I've just ordered a NCX from rosebikes for my hardtail marin bike. I tried to get a Thud buster on ebay but i was always getting outbid.....In the end i decided to get the NCX and by all accounts the Suntour NCX is supposed to be better.
It's one of those things that you can't skimp on, you'll only have to buy it once. I think rosebikes recently reduced the price to £66+shipping, so i'm glad i waited.

Suntour seat post SP12-NCX at a low price in the online bike shop www.rosebikes.com

That looks ok to me , think i may get that one thanks for the info .

Exhumed this thread, just to say I received the Suntour sp12 ncx, ordered from VTT, BMX, Cyclist apparel, Bicycle accessories. Welcome to XXcycle - en
On bonfire night €76.32 delivered: This was the best price I could find: There was a merchant on Tesco.com marketplace advertising them a quid cheaper, but No Stock over several weeks.

I did pm Hatti to ask if Woosh were selling them, but No Reply

How long did it take to come?
Its £59.86 delivered so over a tenner cheaper than the next cheapest I can find.

For anyone with a sore posterior who is after an NCX at the moment who missed my post in another thread...

I got mine here (yesterday):
http://www.bike-discount.de/en/buy/...m-hard-215431?currency=3&delivery_country=190
£44.83 + approx. £5delivery

That's the best price I've come across reading any of these threads looking at NCX seatposts!

There are also some good prices (I think) on Cane Creeks £113.5 or 121.5 and also very basic Cube seat posts with suspension for £28.5 + delivery

 

[EddiePJ]

I have a redundant and little used Cane Creek Thudbuster LT (316mm seat post) up for grabs at £50.00 plus P&P.

It comes with spare grey rubber blocks, blue fitted, and the mud cover/glove.

Like JamesW, mine was also purchased from the superb Bike-dicount.de

[JamesW]

If only that would fit my bike and I hadn't just ordered one!!

I've got to admit having seen your bike cleaning routine that the Thudbuster is probably in better condition than a new one Eddie!

 

[Kinninvie]

It would fit mine BUT having just read JamesW's other post I have just ordered a suntour and then came to this post
All my other bikes are 27.2 so no good for them either.
Its a good bargain for someone though.

Hi Eddie,

Are you willing to sell it to me instead?

Thinking to upgrade my ST version. Is it worth upgrading?

Pat

 

[EddiePJ]

Hi pat, you have a PM.

In relation to the upgrade, I can definitely say yes.

I had an LT on one bike and the ST on another. To me there was quite a marked difference between the two, and the LT is far more forgiving, and just seemed to function better.

Hi Eddie,

Came to this thread too late. I take it the seatpost is sold, if not I'd be interested.

Thanks Eddie. Got your PM.

Hope it will serve me well.

Sorry Jim, if I replace my ST to LT I could sell the ST to you.

Are you interested?

Pat

Thanks for the thought but no. It was the LT I had my eye on.

As this is a seat post thread i thought i'd post here rather than starting a new one.
I have a Thudbuster which was great on my Scott but now as the Scott is sold i'm stuck with a 26.8mm post that i cant get to fit all my 27.2mm bikes
It seems too small a difference in post sizes to shim. Going to need a shim 0.2mm shim which i reckon is a bit like filigree Any thoughts about how i can get some more use out of it?

 

[KirstinS]

I just came here to share the fact that you can now get this cheap from bike discount Germany

But clearly beaten to it !

I just ordered one as under fifty quid delivered is a steal

How about a wrap or two of "duct tape" around the stem, that should give enough filler, or a small section of 22mm plastic pipe, split vertically to open up the sleeve size to the stem size

With a difference that small I would run a dremel down the seatpost groove and tighten the bolt up a bit more as its less than half a millimetre difference.
