Straight or layback the new nitto posts are made with big misters riding bikes they rode when they were ten in mind.

If its lay back your after & you want to keep it old school then the tioga's are the best.
I run one on my Raleigh cruiser, they have an internal strengthening brace similar to the sst command posts.
I'm just under 18st & mine hasn't let me down yet.

I had a layback and bent that, I now just bent a straight one :LolLolLolLol:

I am just over 13 stone but trying backward hang 5 type of trick and landing a bit heavy :D but they look pretty thin and low quality.

I struggled with bunny hops etc with a layback but find straight a bit tight for decades etc.

Rental laybacks are perfect for a rider or an odyssey layback. Both around £20 aswell.......not £200 like the sst command post   ::)

That is very questionable as to weather it is even a genuine SST Command post.

I'd go for a Renthal layback never bent even with my bulk  :crazy2:

 When i had a test ride in westhoughton i turned round an came home after 20 mins. Hope i do better at the Mersey-ride  :2funny:

Post by: paulb113 on April 05, 2013, 11:53 PM
looking forward to merseyride my Dad is stuffing some metal and no nails into the layback as a temp measure :LolLolLolLol: going to diet and build my strength up as I really want to learn loads more tricks, tried a gut lever and felt so old and weak :LolLolLolLol:

I can now roller skate non stop for hours without getting out of breath so fitness has improved, going to watch loads of old school stuff on YouTube to learn stuff .I want to do all the really early stuff we did as kids like kerb endos , front hops, back hops :)

Hey Paul,

Alan will do a cracking job too  :daumenhoch:

Most are made of thin guage lower grade metal Chromed over these days mate, I have an unbranded  Alloy one thats approx 2mm wall thick guage on the GT.. Strong as that mate.

Seen the tricks on Youtube your getting there again  :daumenhoch:

proper shite posts

GT have always been good but elf, DK, exposure, 4jeri etc, most early 90s posts are nice n strong.
