    strange when ridding sif and doing trials sif because the rail type
    seat post is a little big where i was supposed to grab when iam sif.

    seatposts

  2. haha! This is what I replied about, about 2 years ago when I was using
    my KH rail type. There is no good place to grab. No matter what, it's
    not comfortable. So get used to it, or buy a traditional KH post like I
    did.

  5. If you break posts (which you do) then I would strongly suggest not
    getting either of the seatposts suggested by musketman here, they are
    made of aluminium and are thus inferior to any steel post.
    For frames it doesnt matter so much, but for seatposts i'd strongly
    suggest you get either a steel or cromo (cromolly steel) seatpost. both
    available at UDC for a reasonable price.

  7. you can choose alloy or steel... but since we dont know wot the alloy
    is.... i agree with muzzle though i'd go for a crmo post if u break
    seatposts, and i fu want light an aluminium/reinforced Aluminium one

    I use a KH rail adaptor and do quite a bit of s.i.f. stuff. You get
    used to it after a while. I swap my grip around quite a lot, just
    making sure that I don't get my fingers in the side of the rail because
    then they could get stuck in there and snap off :eek:

    I'm gonna make a switch back to my re-welded alu KH seatpost and see
    how long that holds up.
