Crankbrothers Kronolog Telescoping Seat Post - Tested

i wonder if a disc brake caliper sort of thing on each side of the post(smaller then used for bike brakes of course) would work, with also a skinny replaceable strip of steel attached to the flat part of the post where the pad would grab. mech or hydro

thanks, i know the floating brake looks out of place, im going to try and make it fit the design better. but i think that the design really needs a floating brake to create a perfect suspension feel. i actually designed this frame by mapping out the wheel path i wanted(with chain growth and wheel base changes in mind) and basing the design on what would create the desired wheel path, which unfortunately also creates a fair amount of brake jack, thats why i added the floating brake.

i do agree aluminum is alot easier to work with, im basing my designs on what i imagine to be the the best possible product with the best possible current technology (within an affordable cost range). I see carbon fibre being the next big construction material especially when tools for using it to make products become better and more available. I have been looking into carbon frame productions and it really doesnt seem that difficult, as long as you are accurate and plan it out well, i think ill be looking to make some prototypes next year while in university (3d modeling printer and cnc machines there to use)
