Thomson Setback Masterpiece Seatpost Item # 889694
Description
Masterpiece posts weigh approximately 40 grams less than the same size Elite post. This weight reduction is accomplished by machining the seat post all over, including the oval inner diameter. This enables closer precision tolerances by machining rather than by extrusion alone. The tube and head of the Thomson seatpost are integral-machined from one piece of high strength 7000 series aluminum. The head is not pressed or bonded in. This allows for superior strength and minimum weight.
Features:
- Design incorporates a bending fuse to prevent catastrophic failure
- Clamp, head, and upper tube strong enough to withstand 350 foot-lbs of torque. The tube will start to yield and bend at the seat tube clamp at about 250 foot-lbs of torque. Under severe impact the Thomson seat post will bend slightly and allow the rider to come to a safe stop or finish the ride
- The Thomson seat post has all parts captive and can easily be attached to a seat without dis-assembly
- All Thomson straight seat posts feature infinite tilt adjustment from minus 5 deg. and plus 29 deg.
- Very low profile clamps, this means no seat interference as the swivel nuts are bolted down between the seat rails
