Can I ask why? Why the 30.9? For compatibility with more Seat Dropper Posts?icegeek said:
Just want to make sure that's why you are inquiring, or if not why you want to go to 30.9.

Makes sense.icegeek said:
While I disagree about ebay and retro, I do understand the limitation of just a GD can be frustrating. Speaking of which, anybody want to sell me a GD cheap? I'm going to Mammoth in 35 days :yikes: and I can totally see the benefit of one there!
I asked because I know alot of companies tout that the larger seatpost diameter is stiffer, and yes that's true but I wanted to make sure folks remembered that Sherwood uses a flared tube design that uses the larger diameter tube already on the FS bikes.
And certain custom hardtails...

No, it's not at all about armchair-enginerd wanking on frame stiffness, just following the market. 27.2 is becoming uncommon for road bikes even. It's all about options. I don't want to buy another frame that limits me to either a 1-1/8" steer tube or a 27.2 seat post. New product development in adjustable seat posts, just as in forks, will not cater to the old-fashioned dimensions. Just is.Ciclistagonzo said:

But with no layback/setback option my Bruja is collecting dust because of it.OldHouseMan said:
Oversized posts and curvy links would freshen up the line. If anyone were to care for my $0.02 worth.

I started to design a set of rockers that curved inward to reduce the upper shock span.......but got busy doing other things. The material cost would just about double for the rockers not including the extra machining time and tool wear....but it would like cool. I'm still waiting for a DWv El Ciclon :thumbsup: maybe 2011icegeek said:
