Right here: http://tinyurl.com/c47t2

make one of those and it'll be invincible, though you need to make a
couple of mods to the design. (using a miyata post, and making a taper
down thing at the bottom so that the forces aren't concentrated on the
seatpost at the bottom of the reinforcement.)

Would i have to use a miyata post? I just drilled my CF base 2 days ago
for the other kind. What do you mean by a taper thing?
Thanks
I am thinging about getting a different frame so i can use a bigger
seatpost (either a 25.4 or 27.2) Im thinking those wont bend as easily
as a 22.2.

You can try the GB4 post. It is stronger than the other standard
seatposts. The post itself is thicker and better steel than other
standard posts. The plate at the top is thicker and stronger than
others. It has a good weld at the top. But it still suffers from the
basic design flaws of all other standard seatposts. Give it a try. The
alternatives involve custom welding and modifications.

Isn't it an option to changing the frame? 🙂

I have bent my 22.2 mm seatpost a couple of times, and that's on my
freestyler!

I have the 22.2 gb4 on a cf base with reeder handle. I broke the
seatpost once right at the weld between the tube and the medal plate. I
had it welded back together then broke it again right under where it had
been welded. I got it re-welded plus some small reinforcing. now its
been a few months of heavy abuse and the whole seatpost tube is starting
to bend. Its now got a gradual curve the length of the thing.

Its only a matter of time until the whole thing kicks the bucket.
However, now that its got the reinforced weld, im pretty happy with how
well its held up. Its certainly stronger than any other standard
seatpost.

When this one breaks im gonna have to move up to a thompson. I have NO
MONEY though so i hope its got a little more life in it. 🙂

no, you wouldn't. I was assuming you drilled for miyata, but if you
didn't you could get a different kind. That should work.

dosnt know a welder that can weld him things.

I think evan is going to make me a frame so i can use a bigger seat
post. I am pretty broke right now so i cant buy alot of stuff. Right now
almost all of my unis share the same seat and my trials and freestyle
unis share the same frame. I have to use a really short post now so i
suck at everything.
