Anti gravity seatpost

[4F]

Looking to replace my seatpost and I am looking at the planet x anti gravity seatpost and just wondering really what difference there is is between anti gravity and a normal seat post ?

When your Anti-Gravity seatpost arrives, don't open the package out of doors.
When the package is opened, tie a 5kg weight to the seatpost until it is secured in the bike.
There will be a cross pin in the bottom of the seatpost. Tie a cord round it and the other end of the cord around the cartridge bracket. This is if you need to loosen the seatpost clamp for an adjustment on the roadside.

I lost an Anti-Gravity seatpost last March and nearly brought down Endeavor.

Buy two Anti gravity seat pins.

Chop up the second one and stuff the pieces up the Handlebars before shoving in the end plugs.

That gives an even distribution of levitation from fore to stern.

Saw the pin INDOORS. That swarf wrecks aero engines.


Some of that second pin can go down the steerer tube to replace the broom stick.
