Isen workshop: adventures in batch production (or not...)

I'm just hating as Thomson is just too common :)

Not sure if it was necessary to post that photo in a thread that has been clicked nearly 110k times instead of just one of my bike. Or to post anything that unrelated to this thread at all.
But I’m honest, I ride Thomson too as they're all right. #beentheredonethat though, you know

There is a lot of unrelated stuff in this thread, but you are correct, he shouldn’t have posted that picture.

Now a 110k people can’t unsee that bike.

Good to see you are a closet Thomson fan though. Maybe we should start a club?

I was just looking at the chateux to be honest.

Common people riding common bike parts, living in mansions.

Old money drive old volvos. This is the same.

There is no way you missed my handsomeness

i think we were too distracted by the thomson, the location and that 'tache

Well, I never had a mustache so that's solved

Just got a fizik seatpost. The saddle clamp is good

"This fastener combination allows float on both sides of the collar slot ensuring consistent clamping force."

I don't know nuffink 'bout engineering (quote to here) but I'd take the Thomson over the piddling little carbon thing up thread.

This has one of those rotatypotaty thingies and IIRC is the only seatpost collar I've broken... at its specified torque value.

Why are you buying a steel bike then attaching weight weenie stuff to it?

As in "only weighs 5g!!!" but doesn't actually hold your seatpost?

Do you even lfgss?

Inappropriate bike choices rule -just ask @amey

@coldharbour
Will the Isen branded carbon seatpost be able to store a di2 battery?

Thomson is common? Maybe on the forum. Not where I ride.

Fizik = cheap Chinese carbon:

You must be new here.

<-- Starting arguments and calling out form > function choices since 2007.

Thomson is common? Maybe on the forum.

The only place that matters so point proven thank you

tl;dr: guy over torques seat clamp, snaps seat post - you'll never guess what happened next

I'm glad I never bought one of those 3T THE stems. "The" is way more common.

Or more specifically over torques then admits to leaving it permanently under torqued.

"But this seat-post has been under-torqued to 4NM with a torque wrench and always used with FSA red carbon paste. On the odd occasion the seatpost has been tightened by hand on the road, its always been re-torqued when back at base camp. It’s been the most molly coddled seat-post I’ve ever taken care of."

He doesn't overtorque it. He says it was under-torqued and 4Nm isn't going to deform the post though is it unless the post is shit. If it was undertorqued and not slipping it should be fine.
