Look at how much trouble you went through to accurately set your seat height. Care to go through all that again just because you had a flat? A properly installed seat post has grease on it [unless it's carbon in which case it has something else smeared on it, "paste" of some kind] and when you start pumping with that seatpost with pump built in you are going to get grease on your hands. Not only will that add nastiness to the grime you've already gotten on your hands, you will also likely transfer grease on the brake tracks on your rims when you replace the wheel; that will make your brakes squeal, shudder and stop poorly. Then there's the matter of the seat clamp. My Nittos have more offset than the average post, and this one looks as though it might be a zero offset. And my Nitto posts are two-bolt models, with micro-adjustment. I doubt this one has a micro-adjusting two-bolt head. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
