seat posts.

[[aiden]]

i've looked threw the forums and didnt see anything on this but can u use seat posts for the t-tube. i think ive seen a pic of it before but not sure...if u can use seat posts, would it be heavier?and what size would the seat post have to be???

 

[farmboy uk]

yup you certainly can, cant remember sizes etc

Yes Joe had the idea.
Just take the BMX seatposts 25,4 mm tube diametre.
Very hart to get in my place, but I think it works perfecktly.

im using my old shadow seat post and it works perfect and you can use old t-tubes as bars

 

[Eric Magray]

it looks heavier, but is it?

 

[odysseus]

not really but mines cut down to like 3 inches or so because its my old seatpost

Uhhh I don't know if they are good. I'm sure they fit but according to my thinking and what my mum said to me, the t tube is weakened if you use a bike seat post. The reason is because its too short.

If it is longer, its fine but I don't think its that long. I wanted to cut part of the handle bar to use as my fork reinforcement. I told my mum and she said if I have a part very strong and not as strong, the not as strong one will break very easily.

I don't see a reason for using a seat post. Uhh its weaker because it cannot go all the way down to more or less at the bottom of the t tube which means the bottom is weakened.I don't see a point of using a seat post. You can use it and put reinforcement at the bottom of the t tube also but thats if you really want to use a seat post. I won't want to use it as I see no help in it.

I may be wrong but just trying to give you some things to consider.

Hell yeah i read this and i went striaght outside... took my haro seat right off... and did it. I used T Tube for the actual bars and the old clamp (knee buster) backwords and with a bolt to hold it on there. Its already painted black and its really strong. The only thing is i dont know if bar ends will fit in there because its t-tube and not regular bars. Maybe.. idk. Great find guys now i might not need rad bars so bad!

 

[Scooter Mcgee]

sweet they are strong as hell
