Each seat-post employs 24 individual ‘plies’ of carbon, pre-impregnated with a highly toughened epoxy resin system, designed to ensure a safe and rugged unit. The bulk of the laminate comprises Unidirectional T700 fibre – the highest strength Standard Modulus fibre available. (Unidirectional fibres provide the maximum tensile strength and stiffness with minimum weight.) This is combined with strategically positioned plies of 3K twill woven fabric, adding hoop strength to resist clamping forces and mitigating failure mode in the event of serious crash damage. The 1K 2x2 twill weave fabric outer ply, also contributes in this respect together with a super smooth finish and striking visual aesthetic.
A fine adjustment of the saddle inclination is possible through the adjusting screw on the seatpost head.
The proven 2-bolt design on the ritchey classic seatpost provides a class-leading balance between strength, weight and adjustability, plus offers you a vise-like grip. Also, the low profile clamp on this Ritchey silver seatpost reduces stress on lightweight rails and won't bottom out, and the bolts are oriented to the axis of the rails for greatest contact area with the saddle.
