Does a carbon fiber seatpost make a difference?
By having a set spring rate, a heavier rider will enjoy a more comfortable ride, while a lighter rider will feel more vibration and big hits. Carbon seatposts also perform much better with more exposed seatpost (2x more flex), which hands the better performance to taller riders.
Is a carbon seatpost more comfortable?
As is consistently the case, aluminium is perfectly adequate and will do the job. Carbon seatposts, however, offer greater dampening from road vibrations and are lighter. If you don’t feel your bike needs to be any more comfortable, and you’re not fussed about 100 grams, then aluminium seems like a smart choice.
Why does my seatpost keep slipping?
All that aside, however: The most common reason for post slip we have come across is the use of the wrong type of seat post clamp for your size and type of riding. Next, apply a light film of grease to the inside of the clamp (the part in contact with the frame) and the clamp bolt threads.
Does carbon fiber degrade over time?
The problem is made worse by the fact that unlike plastics, aluminum andmany other materials, carbon fiber can’t be easily recycled. It won’t degrade, and it is extremely difficult to recycle. The strength of the material is actually inthe fact that it consistes of long fibers.
