A few weeks ago I noticed that my seat post was bent. I know, I know….It could have broken at any moment and caused a crash or worse, I could have impaled myself on it!
So today, I went to the local bike shop that carries Specialized, thinking I would just get a replacement for the stock seat post that had served me and my FSR-xc Pro so well these last 5 years. They didn’t have it, nor did they have ANY seat post of the right diameter! So much for thinking……….
My next stop should have been my first stop as it turns out. I went to the LBS that is a sponsor of one of our events, the GORD.
High Gear Bike Shop had the right size seat post in a Thompson Elite SP-E128SB.
I went for a ride on it this afternoon, but cannot report anything other than it did not break or bend. I will however report back on it in about a year.
