Seatpost compression

[BenJelinek]

So I know I'm starting a new thread the old one was a fail, and they were asking HOW it worked, I'm asking how good does it work?? Is it reliable?

Well get a bmx clamp and then stretch it and when you put it on make sure the little lip on the top is facing down and then push it on and then put your bars and clamp for bars on and then line it all up and then tighten you clamp a little bit but not too tight and then hammer your bar clamp down until you headset is nice and spinning and tight and then tighten the hell out of the seat clamp and then finish tightening you bar clamp and there you go it doesnt work that well so id personally go with ics or hic or scs

Edit: yay 50th post lol

ya i guess for what it is but in the long run if you ride street like me it sucks after like 3 days if you go off 4 stairs every day lol

I think he was talking to me and Nahh I ride bikes so I'm good. I need money for other parts right now so badly

 

[BrandonWeir]

I tried seat post compression for a day and I prefer threaded over it. I cranked the tits out of the clamp and it still got loose after a while. It works, but not that great.

ive just put a scooter together and used this, seems pretty sweet for absolutely no money

what you can do if you have threaded forks is slide the clamp over the forks line it up then tighten a locknut down onto it tighten the clamp and then take off the locknut.

There is no reason to use seatpost compression on threaded forks. The locknut is there for a reason.
