Cheers Steve. Got one on the way now. Great price, even with a fiver for postage.Got my suntour seat post from www.bike-discount.de
Best price and a great service.
That's great to know. At least it'll only cost a tenner to rectify a bad decision. Thanks.You can buy the various springs (soft, medium, hard) separately for the NCX-SP12 seatpost, and change those easily. You can also adjust the tension of the spring.

My instinct originally was to go for the soft spring, but having now watched a few videos of the seatpost in action, I'll probably go for the medium. Most riders said they had to tighten up the tension (even for 68kg), so I expect it will be good for my 60kg.I would go for the middle Spring, your within its range and as your looking at a higher target weight, medium is probably wise
If you do lose some weight you could always put a few rocks in your pockets
When I ordered mine a few months ago from Bike Discount.de, the neoprene cover came in the parcel (included) although it was not stated on the product page/description at that time.I went ahead and made the purchase of the medium seatpost and bought the soft spring and neoprene cover at the same time.
I also received a free cover, twice. I ordered the wrong sized post and the turnaround in sending it back and getting the correct one was about a week and without hassle.I had the cover with my one, it was just in the box, so happy days
If you've ended up with two covers would you want to sell one of them, maybe you are keeping as a spare.I also received a free cover, twice. I ordered the wrong sized post and the turnaround in sending it back and getting the correct one was about a week and without hassle.
It's simple to fit and I got the medium spring suspension seat post for my 68 kilos, which I've since turned down a bit and adjusted it for a very soft ride indeed.

Like I said, the £6 one I used for 3 months was fine by me. I've no experience of the one in the link. Cheap enough to be either a fail or a Godsend though.Are the elastomer type seatposts rubbish?
Seen this one on sale and am hovering over the 'Add to Basket' button.

Even if it adds a smidgen of bum bum comfort, I'll be happy.
I have used a similar one and it gave me a bad back, also gave a bad back to a friend of mine, maybe I should have bought a better quality one.Are the elastomer type seatposts rubbish?
