I'm considering a new Cane Creek Thudbuster for my old hard-tail. Any
opinions about this post?

I have one and like it. The only negatives I've heard have been around
durability on one of the earlier models.

Zero stiction, can be adjusted to different weight riders by swapping bumpers.

I've A/B'd it with a sprung saddle and there's no comparison. The sprung
saddle is OK for road use, but for MTB use the ThudBuster is much better.

Save your money and buy a good quality carbon seatpost, and large volume
tires.

Sorry, but "good quality" and "carbon seatpost" are not synonymous.
They break more quickly than jamis bikes.

I ordered one and expect it in tomowrow. I'll let ya know what I
think. I asked the same question on a bike forum for clydes and only
got good responses, thats why I went ahead and ordered one.

They say it's the next best thing to going FS without the cost.

See ya

Namecalling, the last act of an e-scoundrel who has not a clue. I've
been riding Thomson seatposts on my bikes for over four years. Why
don't you google broken seatposts and see how many are Thomson and how
many are some cheapass junk, especially carbon. As ususal, you can't
back up your meritless claim/recommendation because you have no
experience.

No, he got it right. There are definitely no "P" in his Thomson.

It's an old joke.

Are you using the word "hippie" as a complement or in a derogatory
manner? I suspect the latter. Ironic.
