  1. I went to order a pitfighter post the last week from renegade but there
    were all gone. So I talked with Tom for a bit and we decided to try and
    weld one of my old ones back together. He did it free of charge and
    this is how it turned out

    Yeah neither do I, but hey, I didn't have to pay anything so I'll be
    happy as long as it holds up until they get more pitfighters.

    I'm gonna see if I can get the other one a nice gusset(s) welded to it
    by a buddy of mine. Maybe it will work, maybe not its all free so I
    don't care

  7. Just wanted to add, having a spare seat post is always a good idea. But
    having a spare CrMo post around is one of the best things you can do. I
    will never go on a uni trip without throwing my steel post into my bag.
    Even now with my PF I still will not leave home without a "FRESH"
    Aluminum, or my good old trusty CrMo post, or both if its a long trip.

    Cut is down as short as you possibly can to save weight and make for
    easier in traveling. Stick in with your tools and such.
    Thats one of the pros to having a long neck frame. You can use a Steel
    post that has been cut very very short.

    Whenever I have some extra cash when ordering a part I need I will get
    a couple extra pumpers and handles. I stopped having to buy extra
    aluminum posts once I started using the CrMo. Ive been ridding my PF
    for a month, no problems thus far. At least I know my 'ol pal CrMo has
    got my its back.

    Drops aren't what ruin seat posts.

    I have only bent two, none broke so far 🙂

    I thought that welding aluminum would take the temper out of it or
    something and weakened the metal around the weld. I could be wrong
    though, never welded aluminum myself.

    Yea I second that, I have the same cromo post as that, Im runnung with
    it whilst I get another aluminium post or fix my old one.

    Having a spare cromo post is definatly a great Idea, your post can
    break at any moment without any warning, if its at the start of a long
    ride you will be dam [censored] but if you ride with a spare there is
    no worries, you can just swap it out.
