Schmolke Carbon TLO Road Seatpost

TLO seatpost inner diameter fits Di2batteries.

All TLO and SL seatposts are compatible with 7x9mm carbon saddle rails.

General

Just like all other products of our TLO (TheLightestOne) range, the 1K carbon seat post is manufactured to suit your personal weight and riding style using the best prepregs available in the market. Compared to standard carbon seatposts these seatposts are more vertically compliant with no loss of lateral or torsional stiffness, resulting in a more comfortable riding experience but no loss of energy. Its head clamps the saddle’s rails on eight points. The alloy parts have chamfered edges,which, together with the large supporting carbon fibre surface, ensures that even fragile carbon rails are not unduly stressed. The 5 mm Ti6Al4V titanium screws are waisted extension bolts are strong enough to even withstand rough terrain mountain bike use. The clamping works with all standard round and oval saddle rail designs.

The actual tube’s highest stressed sections consists of up to 17 layers of extremely thin carbon fibre prepreg, while its less stressed sections are sufficiently strong with as little as 9 layers.Unfortunately this is a complicated design, too complicated for cheap Asian production. Seatpost built to a price in China as a rule come with constant wall-thickness. This makes production easy, it also makes the resulting seatpost heavier than necessary. Seatposts in particular require hundreds and hundreds of destruction tests to arrive at the lightest possible solution for every length and diameter without sacrificing the final products strength. We do of course also include rider’s weight into our design equations; light riders don’t need to carry the extra weight of a standard seatpost designed fora user much heavier than they are.
