Bike Seat Posts

Bike Seat Posts

Where the saddle meets the frame is where you will find one of the hardest working but least noticed components on your bike. Seat posts are the forgotten backbone of a comfortable ride. So just how do you pick the right seat post for your bike? It all starts with your bike itself.

The size of your seat post has everything to do with your existing frame. You need to know the inside diameter of your bike frame's seat tube. You'll probably find this dimension printed on your current seat post but if not, you can always call the bike's manufacturer to find out the dimension.

Look for Durability in Bike Seat Posts
Once you have the size down, it's just a matter of thinking about how you ride. Are you on your bike more than you're on your feet, or do you take it out for a Sunday ride every now and then? If you're a high performance rider, you need a high performance bike seat post. One of the best bike seat posts is the Thomson Masterpiece Seatpost. With its aluminum alloy machined construction, this super light bike post is the choice of professionals who demand the highest performance out of their bikes on a daily basis.

For the more casual biker, high-end posts like the Thomson Masterpiece Seatpost or the carbon fiber Reynolds Ouzo Pro Carbon Seatpost aren't a necessity. However, you can still have the comfort and durability of a well-made seat post without investing in the latest technology. Check out the Dimension 27.2 x 350mm Seatpost or our FSA SL-K Alloy/Carbon Seatpost here at BikeTiresDirect. You'll find several options for the leisure mountain bike or road bike enthusiast.
