Curtis seatpost problems? anyone else

(1/2) > >>

Taipan:
I have a few Curtis seatposts and they all have problems? They are the newer versions made by Brian a few years ago

the Layback version's all the chrome is stripping off them? and the straight versions are rusting away?  ???  Its taken me a good hour today to wrestle one out of the frame? the top is still fine but the part that was inside the frame has started to rust badly and I think any longer and it would have siezed in there? So anybody else had problems with these?  ???

griff:
no problems here, but then again it's the only bike that lives in the house (I also don't mess with the seat height, as it's a clear-lacquered raw post I'll be fooked if I'm scraping that off :teef: )

Taipan:
My bikes are inside to mate? I reckon if you remove the post it will be tarnished or starting to rust? If you don't move it and its always at the same height have a look I'd be interested to see?  :-\

That may be the case - but like I said I'm fooked if I'm touching it :D sorry mate
It's bad enough having to remove the front wheel to fit it in the back of my Polo

But 5 years on and despite it just being clear powder over raw there's no spidering anywhere (& last outing it had in Gloucester it proper pissed it down)
Might have something to do with me giving it a proper isopropyl clean before handing it (wearing gloves :teef: ) to SBD to powder.
No greasy fingerprints = nothing to lurk under the powder  :daumenhoch:
