Re: Broken CF seat base


This thread has shifted topic, larl. Anyways, people who use "stiff
stick" or similar, have you noticed stress being transferred from the
seat to the frame?

This is obviously going to happen from this sort of reinforcment,
although the effect could vary. When Cody snapped his torker cx frame
for instance, that can hardly be blamed on the seatpost, because torker
don't have the best reputation as far as frame build quality goes.

My worry would be that doing this to a cheap seatpost to reinforce a
cheap seatbase could, in the long run, destroy an expensive (in
comparison) KH frame.

I won't be doing this type of reinforcment any time soon, and
regardless of whether I like the design or not, I would rather shell
out $140NZ for a new CF base when I manage to break one than to pay
$250NZ for a new frame.
