BMC SLR Seat Posts - Straight?
Moderator: robbosmans
I'm currently riding with the stock seatpost that came with my SLR02. Now I'm under the impression that BMC design their seatposts to work with the compliance and whatnot of the frame. However, the 25mm setback is starting to cause a few issues and I'd like to try something smaller, or straight. Do BMC make such a creature or will I have to go after-market? I have a feeling I've seen it in the past (maybe on here) but I can't find anything of the sort now.

Does the SLR02 run a round seatpost? I have an SLR01 with their square seatpost in zero setback so I'd say they would do it in the round. Ask your local dealer
If it's a standard 27,2 I would just get whatever brand / model is on sale. You can't go wrong with Ritchey, and there's always a couple of online retailers that have them on sale.
Although I do like my BMC GF01 seatpost. It's light, comfy and superstrong.

Oh definitely. I have no qualms with going third party, however I would prefer a legit part, if available, as they are supposed to work with the frame well.
Would be happy to go Deda or ITM with matching stem and bars though...

Evans Cycles are the UK distributer so I'm sure they could help you out

Oh I know, thanks. I was just getting at the fact I live in the middle of nowhere and there isn't a 'local' Evans

Ah, perfect! Thanks!
