Cannondale owners, seat post upgrade?

[Smokin Joe]

Says who?

I wonder why we put up with aluminium seatposts, handlebars and stems, cranks, pedals and wheels for all those years? Wonder we didn't disintegrate with all the "Road buzz" (WTF is that, anyway?) and chronic vibration pounding through our bodies.

I've changed from ally to carbon posts on a couple of my bike and not really noticed any difference in comfort. I've also got a Carbon Synapse with the standard ally post and will probably change to the carbon one, mainly because I want to not because I think it'll make the bike more comtortable. Which post have you seen for £40-50 the one I was looking at is this one

I've got a Canondale Caad 10 with alloy seatpost and a Van Nicholas Yukon, which came with a carbon seatpost. I sometimes swap saddle and seatpost from one bike to the other. I haven't noticed one jot of difference.

As for aluminium giving a "harsh ride", well, my Caad 10 gives a smoother ride than my titanium Yukon. The bike with the harshest ride is the carbon Focus Cayo. Wheels, tyres and tyre pressure all play a bigger role in comfort than frame material - as of course does geometry.
