Too bad the Joplin seatpost only comes in 30.9 and 31.6 or I'd sign up today. Those seem kinda big diameters for the intended type of bikes, i.e. All Mountain, XC.
31.6 covers all the Intense frames.
27.2 would be nice though.

doesn't cover Iron Horse or Turner which are the bikes I ride. Why not make a 27.2 and shims so everybody can use one? Then they could cover roughly all teh market.
^^^ like cane creek.
Doesn't matter what size they have........those seat posts will wobble within 6 rides.....
-Quo?
cane creek makes the thudbuster in a variety of sizes, but puts an emphasis on 25.4 & 27.2 sizes with shims.
30.9 also covers Yeti as they are switching from 27.2. Todd is correct in that they are covering a huge chunk of the market. A 27.2 post would require all new tooling and a much smaller slider - not exactly ideal.
slick looking headsets. Anything special about them?
The cup is the bearing race, so they are a bit lighter.
Great, so you're saying that I bought the only bike brand that this post doesn't cover? wait, doesn't todd work for Iron Horse? Way to go, Todd! ------> :biggrin:
How about a lighter variant? Any idea if the next gen will have ti? Crankbros loves ti!
I'm a little disappointed they downgraded the mallets - no more mag version....

The new machined Aluminum mallets are lighter than the old Mag ones.
CB took over the Speedball, Maverick isn't making them anymore
They changed the axle also - the new mallet has the same axle as the Acid.
Yeah, the $250 mallet is lighter than the old mag one. The pedal that replaces the mag's price point is heavier.
BTW, is the solution for blown seals and cartridges is to move production to Taiwan?Too bad the Joplin seatpost only comes in 30.9 and 31.6 or I'd sign up today. Those seem kinda big diameters for the intended type of bikes, i.e. All Mountain, XC.
Sticking with American made and well supported GravityDropper.
The low end one is also cheaper by a fair amount. The mallet 2 is about the same weight and around the same price. (8g heavier, $10 cheaper). Cheaper at MSRP though, no idea what they will actually retail for (or what the old ones actually retailed for).
Yeah, I guess 8g isn't much, and they're probably more durable. But I never worried about mine, as CB is the best company I've ever dealt with for customer service.
I never had a body issue with my mallets (3 pairs, 2 Mn 1 C). I did occasionally bend an axle or break a wing, but they replaced/repaired them in about 1.3 seconds.
