I’m trying to finalize the setup for my Hunter 36, and it’s clear I need
to get a wider seatpost than the one on my current GB4 36. I tried to
use the spare aluminum shim I had from UDC, but it's not the right size
and anyway I'd rather have a clean interface. I did a search on some
past threads on RSU, and it looks like the Hunter takes a 26.8
seatpost. Looking at the selections on UDC, I’m not finding this width
for either the Primo Rod or Thompson, which would be my preferred
choices. I found this surprising since UDC sells Hunters. Assuming I
need to buy one from a bike supplier instead, I checked the stock
online at Performance. Found two choices…a Thompson road post, and a
Thompson MTB post. So here are my questions:
1) Does anyone know the functional difference between these, and which
would be preferable for cokering?
'Road Seatpost' (http://tinyurl.com/2kmp5w)
'MTB Seatpost' (http://tinyurl.com/ywfg28)
Regardless of Road or MTB, I’m assuming I’d get the “Black/268” model,
and that 268 is shorthand for 26.8.
2) Any Hunter owners using any other type of rail-adapter seatpost
that you would recommend?
Thanks,
TB
