Recomendations 27.2mm carbon seatpost
« on: November 01, 2023, 04:28:05 AM »
Looking for a 27,2mm carbon seatpost. Good quality, lighter than an alloy seat post and maybe some compliance for added comfort.

Browsed AliExpress and found Elita One which seem like a good option. Any experiences from users here?
Otherwise alot of seat posts from the usual EC90, Toseek, OG-Evkin, Ullicyc..

Any recommendations or general advice?

Thanks

Elita One are basically the undisputed kings for a lightweight, good value post. I think most people on here have used them. I've had a few and they've all been great considering you can pay A LOT more for other big name branded ones for a similar weight.

I run Elita One seatposts too but ive read about many people overtorquing and cracking them and my friend has done this too.

That said, ive had two that have had no problems at all for 1-2 years each. The weight you get for the price is indeed great.

i just personally would not recommend this seatpost to anyone that doesnt have/want to use a torque wrench

Another vote for Elita One here. My 27.2mm 0 offset 250mm post ended up being something pretty stupidly light like 140g.

At the risk of not being original: Elita one with the 245x143 carbon saddle :)

I also use the Elita One seatpost since 2 years and about 10000km on my road bike without any problems.
