  1. Does anyone know the weight of the primo rod? I know its heavy, but how
    heavy is heavy? Right now I'm looking at getting either the Rod, 'the
    Odyssey Junior post' (http://tinyurl.com/ypvypk), or 'the FMF
    powerstick seatpost' (http://tinyurl.com/2e5atb).

    Any info would be great.

    grams according to amazon.com.

    The Primo Rod is heavy for sure but it seems to be really sturdy. I
    have been using the 22.2mm primo rod post on my coker for over 2 years
    now and have had no problems at all.

    As far as weight goes...

    Shows the 25.4mm wide 280 mm long version being 494g

    EDIT: Spencer beat me by 2 min

    pretty 😄

  6. Be aware that single bolt seatpost designs like the Odyssey Junior are
    prone to slipping when used for trials, or muni. The single bolt can't
    clamp down tight enough reliably. Eventually you'll land a drop and
    the seat angle will slip under you.

    The double bolt designs like that PowerStick (and the Thomson) will
    hold the seat angle much more securely and also allows for more
    fine-grained seat angle adjustment.

  7. JC has perhaps had too much espresso today. He's posting quite late, and
    the Chilly Hilly starts early. It doesn't take Punxsutawney Phil to
    predict that Sunday will be another heavy espresso day in Western
    Washington.
