I'm looking for a telescoping seat post. Unfortunately, it's for a bike that needs a 27.2. The only brand that I've found so far that make a 27.2 is Axiom. Any input on this company? I'm not really familiar with it and it seems like nobody in the USA carries them. Any canadian monkies have access to them?? Any input on the axiom or any other brand would be very appreciated.

You can throw down $162 on the pull knob or $220 for the handlebar switched, Gravity dropper.

i think axiom is the house brand of Norco, but i could be wrong. never used anything from them, but i've recalled people liking their pedals ok.

hmmm pretty cool, it has a double bolt for the seat post too.... and for that price it better be durable and have a good warranty.

Titec makes a telescoping post also. I'd assume it's available in 27.2, but I'm not positive. You could order an Axiom from a Norco dealer.

That gravity dropper thing looks pretty cool. It is pretty pricey, but if it works it seems like a good idea. Maybe my shop can get ahold of one for me. The titec, so far as I could tell, doesn't come in a 27.2. I wondered if axiom was affiliated with norco, and I guess they are after checking out the norco page. I don't think there are any norco dealers around here. Hmmm. Decisions Decisions. I may check out the gravity dropper thing. Anyone have any ride time on one??

Yah pricey an understatement... But for trail riding it might be a good seat, but 3 inches isn't really very much for real gnarl downhill/freeride/jump stuff. i dunno, just alot of cash to drop down for something you're not sure you'd like.

As far as I'm aware, with the exception of the gravity droppers, there are no telescoping seat posts smaller then 30.0. This is for the simple fact that you need to be able to fit one seat post inside another, and not even an old school BMX 22.2 post will fit inside a 27.2

*shrugs* could be wrong.

I wonder if you couldn't make one using S&S Frame couplings(http://www.sandsmachine.com/). It wouldn't be quite as fast, but when you get to your descent you could quickly remove the middle section of your post and then couple your seat (and seatclamp) onto the rest of your post.

The Axiom comes in a 27.2.
