Brompton short length seat post - black
This seatpost has been made for people who find the standard length seatpost too long. It is 6cm shorter than the standard length.
These are made up specifically for us, so they may have the odd mark, they are cut and then a flange added back in, this process may make them slightly less than perfect
Length: 47.5cm / 18.7 inches
The Brompton seat post is available in 3 lengths and two colours
- Standard length - for riders up to 33 inch inside leg
- Extended length - for riders up to 35 inch inside leg - 6cm longer
- Telescopic - for taller riders
- Avalible in silver or black (this one)
This seat post is manufactured by Brompton and shortened by Kinetics for us.
(In the early days of Brompton they used a titanium seatpost, then later there was also an aluminium seatpost available - these have now been discontinued - titanium due to supply issues and aluminium due to long term quality issues - the coating discoloured over time)
The Brompton seatpost has a 31.6 mm diameter through most of its length (with a flange at one end to stop it raising too far and a narrower end for the saddle to attach to)
The seatpost is installed on the Brompton from underneath (the flange at the bottom stops the seatpost being raised too far)
Remember: Never lubricate the seatpost
