Well, i just thought id say i broke my seat post yesterday. it is one of the traditional KH ones here

I was going for a hop up onto a few stairs on my Muni and she snapped off so fast i didn’t have time to think what happend. I went up with the seat in one hand and my feet kicked the uni down into the pavement.

I wish i had pics but dont. Well its not that big a deal anyway.

It broke just under the seat where u bolt it on. If u look its obviously the weakest part of the seatpost. I slapped my adjustable KH seatpost back on now. I think i will try one of those Koxx reinforced seatposts next.

Have you thought of using a chromoly seatpost instead of alloy, it will be much stronger. The 350m ones here

Chromoly is heavier but if you’re breaking alot of seatposts it is good to get something stronger
