Odyssey’s New Seatpost.


This is a good idea, sure, but man, when was the last time you saw somebody with a railed seat? Dans Comp currently has 16 railed seats for sale (and most of them are made by race companies you’ve never heard of) versus 51 Pivotal’s. In my entirely worthless opinion, railed seats are dead and never coming back.

    It’s ironic because that’s the first worthwhile thing I’ve seen Adam say.

    railed seats will never die

  • http://Website confused

    Iv been wanting a railed seat for ever , ive never wanted a pivitol, just what was available on short notice when i got my bike , still have it so im happy

  • http://Website worm

    pivotal looks WAY much better in my opinion. But i dont think i like the look of this one with the laid back-ness to it…..the pivotal part should be more centered over the post as opposed to being behind it…would look much better

  • http://Website Jackson

    Man I’ve got a railed S&M and I dig it hardcore. I don’t see the problem, a bike parts a bike part. Why does it make a difference if it’s railed or pivotal? If people buy em then companies should continue making them.

  • http://SUCKMYBALLZ.COM NO

    WHY IS IT A LAID BACK SEATPOST AND WHY COULDN’T THEY HAVE JUST SOLD THE GUTS? ONE STEP FORWARD, TWO STEPS BACK.

  • http://Website no name

    just turn it around to move your pivotal seat forward

    fuck a pivital seatpost. i wish i was riding a railed seat where i can adjust how far front or back i want my seat.

  • http://Website thomas

    the reason why no ones going to buy this is because its ugly. almost as ugly as the new board.

  • http://Website Travis

    Well put.

  • http://Website gah

    I still ride my Odyssey Aitken railed seat. Pivotal is whack, I can’t even push my seat all the way back, just tilt it.

    Odyssey Intac and an Aitken seat. Or I’d be riding a super-light road bike seat if they phased out.

    Shadow slim railed seat. All i’m gunna say.

    Yo railed seats are dead GTFO
    odyssey just keeps on getting gayer and gayer way to go!

  • http://Website meh

    man, i’d run a railed seat over a pivotal any day, pivotal’s just looks unnatural and now all the kids are going to read this and think it’s the truth.although the best option out there for me is the seat/seatpost combo and i guess that’s quite similar to pivotal seats, but somehow the angle is better

  • http://Website what

    great idea, just looks a little weird with a seat actually on it. id probably get one for my single speed and switch up whatever the fuck i want on it depending on my mood

  • http://facebook.com/jpbevins JP

    This post is the only way I’d run a pivotal, with a bit of setback at the guts.

  • http://www.carryingdaily.com Martin

    Yeah, I run a combo, been liking it so far, not as many options as my railed but then again not nearly as much post.

  • http://Website kbkij

    horrible

    This is a Knock off of the P-Guts idea!!!!

    I’m glad one company is innovative.

  • http://Website hm

    i ride a railed seat :/ no different then a pivotal.

  • http://Website team egg nog

    I got a railed seat. I dont enjoy having a dick nosed seat, thankyou. And I think odyssey would know a little more about seatpost sales than you. alot of people are cheap and wont fork out another 25 dollars for a new seat because they have to buy a new seatpost. or vice versa.

  • http://Website jakob

    Nuno is awesome. Odyssey is awesome. This seatpost is awesome.

  • http://www.sjbmx.com Chris McMahon

    If it wasn’t laid back, how would you adjust it? The only way that those guts would work with a non-layback post would be to drill a hole for the 6mm hex wrench in your railed seat. Also, it’s not any more laid back than an Intac…

  • http://Website notcaught in the hype

    i still rock a railed seat. stop caring about being trendy.

  • http://Website chucknorris

    I was going through a box of old stuff at a bike shop I work at and found a seat post that doubles as a tire pump made by Odyssey back in the 80′s. It was meant for mountain bikes but it works and I thought it was a good idea, as long as you have a quick release seat post clamp.

  • http://Website Casey McKellar

    I’ll never say anything bad to a person because they’re staying with railed seats. I do think they tend to bend easier and they look a little less clean, but the look isn’t a big deal. but this post is genius. I’m sure there’s plenty of kids that don’t buy frames because of built in pivotal posts, but not it doesn’t matter. Very nice.
