any help would be appreciated.
best seat collar for whistler?
- Thread starter c2001
- Start date
I would go with a root beer coloured Salsa collar, with a carbon blade...Little flexy, but very light and most of all - uber bling!!
Also, while we're talking about Whistler, I was wondering what the best bar end cap for A-line is?

I have to agree with Todd here. Maximum blingage is always a plus at Whistler. I'd also turn it around so the bolt is facing forward to prevent any overheating issues.ska todd said:
I believe the original Deity studded double-clamp is the seat collar of choice for discerning free-parkers at locations such as Whistler. Also the Marzocchi tires are the best in the air and that's where most of the time is spent when free-parking so they must be the best tires for Whistler also.
This post should definatly be sticky. you DO NOT want to show up at whistler and not be prepared with proper seat post holding hardware. Definitely a good read, but personally I would reccomend a hose clamp, with all those bike thefts at whistler, you don't want people jackin your ride for your bling-bling seatpost clamp. Those faux carbon ones should stay locked up in your room...
Actually you guys are getting this all wrong...you have to go for the non-quick release style with a Ti bolt, this will lower your center of gravity and help you over the really cool jumps! That would just be off the sicter scale!!!
And for the bar ends...they have to be pink AND fuzzy, although you will be stuck on eh-line cause they wont do so well on something as rad and sweet as dirt merchant

Purple anodized-always.
if it's good enough for H-Ball - means it must be the BEST!
H-Ball is also down with the twisty spokes, so those must be good for Whistler too then.Orfen said:if it's good enough for H-Ball - means it must be the BEST!
edit: I actually rocked the hite-rite back in the dizzay on my purple '92 M2.

Word up, Hite-Rite!
Hballs bike looks perfect with the pinkbike logo on it.
hell no, it's the old school version of the gravity dropper.richcreek said:

You will probably not survive one run without the new, 12-pound cast iron Thunder Collar from Banshee.
There supposed to be releasing the Monster Thunder here in a week or so. So i'd hold of till that is available.OGRipper said:

Yeah...you're right.Acadian said:Pinkbike jokes are getting old...
Hey guys...looks like we gotta go back to old reliable:
"Acadian e-knows everything"
Let's roll.....
It'll be 12 pounds and will be touted as the strongest seatpost collar in existance, but will still end up crackingOGRipper said:
I'd hold out for the new DW-collar. It will be refined through the latest generation of FEA programs and will weigh less than a quarter, but will withstand sixteen metric tons of pressure before deforming 0.0385%

let's stay on topic people...this decision could make or break my trip.
The more I think about it, the more I realize that the seat post collar is not important...But what is important is to wear a pink Izod knit shirt with a pressed, popped collar whilst bombing down Clown Shoes...

Ok Fine,
will that be compatible with his derailleur hanger? more importantly, will it be compatible with the new international derailleur standard (IDS)?binary visions said:

Another related question: what kind of mullet should I rock when I'm at Whistler? Being that it's Canadia, I was thinking the classic Hockey mullet...
Yep, that theory runs back to ancient times.stiksandstones said:

now that's what i'm talkin' about!Acadian said:
nasty...reminds me of the time my seat came off the rails at Beech Mtn DH. I chucked my saddle down the bank, dropped in...rode across the pavement, nailed the first few boulders, then my seat rail proceeded to gore me like Tipper.
Close to the seat clamp related....
But nothing beats when Elke B. tore her leg open on a saddle rail in Kaprun. I was 'coming down the mountain' after I sent the girls off in the DH. When I got to bottom everyone on our program was horrified, they told me Elke just got sent to hopspital to repair the thigh...I was given her bike with blood all over it and a 2" long 1/2" thick piece of meat stuck to the saddle rail.

pffffff. shows what you guys know.....we perfected the chainless riding style here, now it's seat/post-less.....leave those clamps at home suckers! as an added bonus it helps get down towards that oh-so-desired 35 pound mark..........sitting's for pansies
I'll buy you a pint of Canadian (or Kokane, your choice) if you do a run down garbanzo with me without a seat or seat collar.FlipFantasia said:
