  1. So here is the deal. I ride street and trials. Hops are around 32" and
    higher, don't do many big drops, I can jump and grind 7 stairs and I'm
    going bigger soon. I am currently riding a 19" KH/Onza wheelset with
    127mm cranks in a Bedford freestyle frame - seatpost size 22.2mm. I am
    currently riding a KH seat which I took from my brother to replace my
    seat (LX air) I had before bending that post. In the past 6 months I
    have bent 3 stock posts on the KH and a GB4 universal on the LX. IThis
    really blows and kills my riding for a couple of weeks each time. I'm
    looking to upgrade to stop bending posts. I'm thinking of getting a KH
    frame with either a thomson post or a stock post and a KH gel seat. Is
    this gonna be better then what I got? If not what do you suggest? Is
    this normal? Is it something I just got to deal with? Is equipment not
    yet that advanced (I know there is nothing out there that is perfect
    but I wanna be close)? If you say I need to work on technique well I
    need a seatpost to do that on anyway.

  3. Thompson will be the best way to go, there is another seat post that is
    way cheaper, but extremly heavy, so I would go with the thompson.
