Extend Your Ride
These posts make great enhancements to endurance road bikes by reducing the chatter transmitted from the surface to the rider and can be tuned to rider weight through a simple elastomer change. #5 elastomer comes pre-installed, other weight elastomers sold separately.

Sadly we have phased out the Alloy eeSilk 27.2. The Carbon version is available as well as eeSilk+ in Alloy.
No the eeSilk is a great option for mountain bikes when not using a dropper seat post. It offers some very nice compliance vs a rigid seatpost.
Max weight limit on the eeSilk is 250lbs so as long as your rider weight and bag do not exceed this you are ok. You may find you need a firmer elastomer to compensate for the extra frame bag weight.
In order to check seat post clearance/height you can measure your current seatpost height from saddle rails to seapost collar. This is your ""seatpost extension"" measurement. Then comapre that to our minimum and maximum extension measurements on the eeSilk seaposts and as long as your current seatpost extension falls in side our minium and maximum limits you can use the eeSIlk on your bike...
Maximum extension on the eeSilk+ is 287mm - Minium is 80mm
Maximum extension on the eeSilk is 250mm for carbon, 275mm for alloy - Minimum is 68mm
If your current seatpost extension is 130mm you can confidently use the eeSilk.
It has been phased out. You can purchase a 27.2mm Carbon eeSilk and a 27.2-31.6mm seat post adapter.

Verified OwnerIt’s a very good suspension post, but the initial elastomer was overly firm. Had to order the next softer elastomer and now it’s about right.
On warmer days it can soften slightly giving a sensation of a flat tire. On cold days it seems overly firm. Wondering how it will be in winter

Verified OwnerSuper seatpost! It transformed my Seven Axiom SL double butted titanium road bike (beefy seat stays). It is hardly noticeable in terms of ride quality (no bouncing qualities) but soaked up some road vibrations well.
I didn’t notice a difference in weight and my seat bag fits fine. Would recommend!

Verified OwnerBeautiful seat post and I really wanted to use it on my Calfee Tandem. Unfortunately it will not insert easily into the seat tube. Goes in about an inch or two and gets stuck. Measuring the post suggest that it is not in perfect spec. Purchased a 27.2 mm post, but the bottom of the seat post is closer to 27.3 and that is just too tight and will not work. I have several other 27.2 mm seat posts including a Thudbuster that I have used for years that fit great. This one just seems too big. Disappointed as I really wanted to use this post. Trying to work with staff from Cane Creek to see if they will let me return this post.
