What does /n/ think of these novelty seatposts like pic related or the Canyon thing? As a side note, there are too many white seatposts and they should be eliminated from local bike shops.

But yeah, all my post 2k bikes have had similar mechanism. Older designs used break off when doing wheelies or rotate the seat on rougher landings. This is a much more robust construction compared to chinesium sheet clamps.

I seem to remember German magazines running tests showing material and offset were much more important factors.

My CAAD10 had the notch in the back and the clamp was meant to be reversed. Makes jack shit sense.

That's just aesthetics.

E.g. real difference would be those two inline screws that allow smooth adjustment instead of clamping down to pre-machined grooves.

Anyway, i just avoid anything that has many separate parts (especially press fitted) or makes you must hand balance all the angles while you tighten down one shitty screw.

it's not "just aesthetics", it's more complicated to manufacture and it costs a lot more. unless you are saying there is no performance benefit, which seems likely but I have yet to see any empirical data one way or the other

>tfw too poor to justify swapping seatpost on 2 of my bikes to a 1 or 2 bolt style rather than the POS nutted one
>tfw one of my bikes has a seatpost size (13/16") that only works with nutted
Suffering. I could use pic related with the last one but the seatpost doesn't drop down far enough into the seat tube and I imagine it would feel really bad.

.... Making something look good is often complicated and costs more. Are you ESL?

You're supposed to grease all the parts then the seat tube and the clamp slide on each other distributing the pressure more evenly.

Maybe the triangle at the top handles shear forces.better than a cylinder of the same material and the computer analysis agreed.

The OP seatpost is bollocks, it looks like a carbon version of the cheapass single bolt ALU post with (what looks to be) the added complication of having to torque the left and right sides independently. That's a novelty post in the worst sense and it's pants.

The seatpost clamp - maybe another post.

That's still a clean 45º angle, if you want to trigger people you need a stupid angle like 11.67º or something like that

It's probably meant to provide a bit of flex for comfort. Looks fucking retarded though with that bolt placement. 99% of engineering in bikes these days is just marketers telling people who know how to run CAD programs make up plans for their retarded easy to market ideas to be shit out by some shitty factory in China.

It's a bike frame with the seatpost cutout off center. So the seatclamp would need to be turned off to the side and asymmetric
