The ground breaking Elite seat post, designed by founder (LH) Ronnie Thomson has become the industry standard. Forged clamps, integrally machined head, and an elliptically extruded 7000 series aluminum body make the Elite and the Setback Elite industry pinnacles for strength, and ease of adjustment. The tube and head of the Thomson seat post are integral-machined from one piece of high strength 7000 series aluminum. The head is not pressed or bonded in. This allows for superior strength and minimum weight. The Thomson seat post has a clamp, head, and upper tube strong enough to withstand 350 foot-lbs of torque. The tube will start to yield and bend at the seat tube clamp at about 250 foot-lbs of torque. Under severe impact the Thomson seat post will bend slightly and allow the rider to come to a safe stop or finish the ride. The post has very low profile clamps, this means no seat interference as the swivel nuts are bolted down between the seat rails.
