Question 1

What types of seatposts does Ritchey offer?

Accepted Answer

Ritchey offers carbon seatposts for weight savings and comfort, alloy seatposts for durability and value, and zero-offset seatposts for riders preferring a forward riding position.

Question 2

What is the difference between 1-bolt and 2-bolt seatpost designs?

Accepted Answer

1-bolt seatposts, like the WCS Carbon 1-Bolt, allow easy angle adjustments with one bolt. 2-bolt designs, such as the Classic 2-Bolt, offer precise angle adjustments and a stable saddle position using two bolts.

Question 3

How do I choose the correct seatpost diameter for my bike?

Accepted Answer

Check your bike frame specifications or measure your seat tube's internal diameter to ensure proper seatpost compatibility. The most common diameters are: 27.2mm, 30.9mm, or 31.6mm.

Question 4

What is seatpost offset, and how does it affect my riding position?

Accepted Answer

Seatpost offset determines the seatpost head's position relative to the seatpost centerline. Depending on fit preferences, zero offset positions the saddle more forward, which positions the rider closer to the handlebars, while 25mm offset positions the saddle rearward for riders needing more leg room.

Question 5

Are Ritchey seatposts compatible with all saddle rail types?

Accepted Answer

Most Ritchey seatposts accommodate all rail types from standard saddle rails (7x7mm) to carbon railed saddles (7x9mm, 8x8.5mm). Ritchey 1-Bolt require aftermarket clamp kits for carbon rails.
