I broke my Impact no-weld seatpost the other day. It broke where the small slits are for the bolts to go through. I purchased it just before Unicon XV so I had it for around 7 months. I’ve got some questions.
Does 7 months seem like a good life-span for a no-weld seat post?
What is advantage of having no weld in the seatpost over a welded seatpost?
Prior to breaking my seatpost, every 30-60 seconds I had to knock my seatpost back in place because it twists…even if I tighten the seat clamp and saddle bolts as tight as they can go. My Dad discovered it was twisting where the top part joins the rest of the post. Has anyone else had this problem?
I’ve got one of those too but mine was moving around a bit so i just punched out the split pin and epoxied the tube to the bracket and put the pin back in, I’ve had no problems thus far
Here’s what i had done to mine. i just got a local engineering guy to weld it for me its the same back and front of the post, that with a CF base and i’ve had no trouble since.
