Lets talk seat guts. Most seat guts nowadays are permanently attached to your seat post because they are welded or machined and take after the mountain bike style seat post. Thats where a small company named VG came in and for a while changed that with a small mountain bike style set of seat guts that were removable as well as adjustable. Some of you younger riders may not have seen or heard of these on account I think they are no longer made. Um...I have blue ones like these but I'm probably going to make them silver eventually. The way the work is the clamp1 (the part that actually clamps around your seat post) slides over the top of your post and is secured by one alanbolt. Here is the innovative tricky part...you can see the second clamp2 top there that holds the seat rails, well, there is an bolt the goes through the center of the clamp with a small threaded machined aluminium retainer nut on top. Now, you have to get your seat at the tilt you want by removing clamp1 from the seat post and adjusting it and once you have it where you want the tilt, reinstall it back onto the post and tighten the alanbolt on clamp1. Yes, its not as easy or adjustable friendly as most post out there but, once you do get it adjusted it is a bomb proof set up...prolly more bomb proof the most standard mt bike style post, and this is even more true on my bike because I have an old Standard seat post that is 4130 cro-mo and what my post is its about 25mm in diameter and the whole post is this size except for the top three inches, the top 3 inches is another piece if 4130 that is 7/8's in diameter that is slid into the inside of the 25mm post and then welded. Is my seatpost and seat guts heavy, hell ya...but it will also survive a nuclear explosion...get my drift. Regardless of the weight, this is still a 5 star set up. Bottom line, if you want a lighter set up look else where, but if you want a very nice durable machined seat gut and you can find a set of these I highly recommend them!
