Exclusive Competition: The first Crankbrothers kronolog seatpost to land on British soil!
Yes, that’s right folks! We are giving away two Crankbrothers kronolog seatposts, one black, one red. This is a completely exclusive competition and we can guarantee that you’ll be the first person in the UK to fit this to your bike.
UPDATE: Competition is now closed! Thanks to all who entered. We’ll pick two winners and let you know on Monday!
To be in with a chance of winning simply tell us why you should be the first person in the UK to be riding on the kronolog.
We’ll choose the best two comments by lunchtime on Friday 9th March.
Crankbrothers have been in the adjustable seatpost category for for nearly five years and have learned a lot about what works and what doesn’t. With that knowledge, they decided it was time for a better approach. They started from scratch and designed a mechanical post that is technical, durable and beautiful.
Introducing the Kronolog, the new standard in adjustable seatposts.
Stronger and lighter / The Kronolog offers more travel, durability and robustness, all at about 50g less than the previous adjustable seatpost.
Robust simplicity / The Kronolog is a very simple design with a limited number of functioning parts. Fewer parts mean fewer failures and the Kronolog has passed 2.7 times EN fatigue testing, making it twice as strong as other posts on the market.
Mechanical design / The mechanical design allows for very accurate, precise movement. It is the only mechanical post available that is infinitely adjustable.
Hydraulic feel / Although is functions mechanically, the Kronolog feels hydraulic. It is smooth supple and quiet.
Air spring technology / The air spring technology allows you to adjust the preload and return speed simply with air. No oil in sight.
Two-stage dampening / Air dampening allows the saddle to return to a normal riding position in two, smooth stages.
Rotational stability / The unique keying system between the quill and shaft allows for substantially improved rotational stability.
Two-way locking / The seatpost locks into posistion both upwards and downwards.
Improved cable routing / The cable routes from the post’s stationary body, which means the cable stays put as the post moves up and down.
Travel adjust / It is possible to shorten the travel of the post to less than 5 inches.
Remote adjust / The remote attaches to the handlebar using a standard handlebar clamp.
Proven clamp mechanism / The infinitely adjustable single-bolt clamping system is market proven.

Because everyone tells me how good a drop post is but i just can’t afford one!!!!
Because otherwise I will have to buy one from superstar before my scottish road trip in July. Plus, the red one would look pretty neat with my bike!
because i live at chamonix the most beautiful place in UK!!!
Because after briefly crossing over to the dark side of racy carbon hardtails with non qr posts, I HATED IT! Now I want big comfy ‘spension’, and most of all an adjustable seatpost. Also, my friends keep making fun of my old timey seatpost.
Because i’m riding the mega for the first time this year and don’t want my mates to beat me. I wont be able to take the abuse on the 20 hour drive home.
Because I want to fit it to my sofa. 5′ of height adjust will revolutionise my TV viewing experience
Because I don’t even live in England, I should be the first person in NZ to have one! Plus I used to be english, so that counts right!?
Because my old dropper post failed, sprung up and hit me in the balls!
because as a mountain bike guide this summer this would absolutely change my summer therefore making my little world an even more radical place for everyone to come & play!!
because i love you!
Because Im an old dog and I need all the help I can get keeping up with the youngsters on the trail!
Because I promise not to use it to fire my daughters toys up in the air and make her cry.
I had a dream last night remanisant to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, no golden ticket in the chocolate bar though, this ticket had a picture of a red drop post on it, and was covered in ‘Gibb is a CrankBrothes winner!!’ stickers.
Because I have been stuck over here in Afghanistan drooling over which mountain bike I want to purchase when I return home to Colorado from this deployment. The new Kronolog would look perfect on my new Yeti 575!
because im off to pietermaritzburg in a week and im going to be pedalling my arse off…
Because because because, AARRGGGHHH!! Just give it to me baby cheeks!
Because I live in the gloriously rugged peak district with lots of uppy’s and lots of downy’s, and i’ll take some super sick photos and videos of it in action for you to throw around your splinterweb site or old fashioned paper publication, and write you a little story of how it works for a little mortal type of person like me
Cant say fairer than that…?…
Because I have a nice AM hardtail and that´s the only piece missing in the puzzle!
Kronologically I’m an older rider and I need all the advantages a dropper seatpost gives me whilst cranking my way around the trails!
Because I’m a poor student who’s spent all his money on his bike and if he wants to buy a dropper post he wont be eating for months
Because with a few adjustments I could make a rockin sex toy out of her!
If Carlsberg made seatposts they would make this seatpost…
Crankbrothers Kronolog seatpost probably the best seatpost in the world…
The black and red one would complete my ultimate build !!!!
Is the comp open to ireland?
As the oldest rider EVER on the National Champs podium I want to be the oldest rider in the Forest of Dean downhill enduro, for which I need this seatpost.
Thank you
because I’m a poor student form Poland:( and one of my dreams is this shit!!!
But im from Poland so i dont win this:( so sad…..Pozdrower
Because you guys are awesome and it would look amazing on my Trek and living in the highlands of Scotland would make me summer amazing !!
because my wife would like to have kids with me some day…
Because if i get off my bike to manually adjust the seat post I usually can’t get back on!
Because I don’t want to sell one of my kidneys to be able to afford one
because i want to be a towering vortex of win
Because if you pick me I’ll donate £50 to a charity of your choice!
The hydraulic height adjust has broken on my office chair so I’m riding low at work. I need this to pimp my chair!!
Because I can totally shred the gnar like Greg Minaar with one of these fitted. Well, maybe.
I don’t get to ride my bike much which should mean it at least lasts a little time before it breaks.
Because I want to be the 1st person in the uk to send one back under warranty!
How can I ride my bike without a CrankBrothers Kronolog??
You aint gonna be sending it out the the front door with this puppy backing you up
It would help me alot to defeat the darkside without this i will have to use litres worth of peanut butter smothered all over a Giraffes leg, and you know how messy that would get PLUS im super glued to my bike so i cant get of and change the seat post height so it would help me get up Mount Everest after i completly huck of it to flat, AND to persuade you further the other day i said to my friend “I bet i can dance on a car whilst moving at 110mph and juggling 12.5 curtain rails and say the alphabet backwards” and well lets just say i lost and i am in a very bad mood so that would cheer me right up.
Sincerely
Sam Gladstone
I’d like to win it because I never win anything, not even a tenner on the lottery! And if I win I’ll be testing it out on the trails of south Wales, where else is better?
Because my arse will love you guys forever!
Because I’m still riding my ten year old Bullit up and down trails and it’ll probably be another ten before I get my hands on one of these.
because at the moment the only thing I have where if you press the right buttons it extends by 5 inches is my cock
Because I’ve got one leg shorter than the other!
I’d like to win one of the seat posts because I’d save you the postage and come and collect it myself. I’d also then buy you guys a beer and maybe, just maybe a pasty…..
I’d also let you watch me ride it don at the FoD after I gave you my review for the mag. Hey, I’m clutching at straws here. Any chance?????????
Because It will be easier to ride my bike after a night of anal stuff with my weird Girlfriend !
Great idea!!!!Tried out one hire bike one with one on in lakes 3 years ago!!!But just not got round to saving for one with general wear and tear off me and mtb!!!!But a free one would be just awesome thx guys?I thought a gimmic till tried one out great on descents can just lower seat a bit more on technical parts!!!
So when I’m out riding all weekend, I could give it to the girlfriend to keep her “happy”.
My friends are always taking the piss, calling me an antique dealer because I love a bargain and I’m often searching the second hand market. The Kornolog would rise my social profile and they would all have to buy one as well Mahahahaha…..
I ride DH/Freeride in the Himalayas in India, this seat post would make a massive difference to my rides. Plus the nomadic shepherds would be well impressed!
Cos I wana stick it on my dirt jump bike and then put my seat up while in the air. I’ll call it the erection
because i want to give crank brothers another chance since my current up and down crank brothers joplin post is absolutely rubbish compared to the others on the market!
Because I’m worth it
I should be the 1st person in the UK to have the new post because I got bugger all for Christmas
My girlfriend wants kids and to further emasculate me with trips to IKEA to buy curtains and scatter cushions.. I need this to not only damage my seed but to escape to the trails where her claws and cushions can’t follow..
(To the Kinks: Dedicated followers of fashion)
.
I drop ‘em here, and raise them there
T’would help me go up, and down them stairs
I really, really, think that the thing is right for me
Because I would like win anything, on Dirt ya’see.
.
Oh Let him win! (Oh Let me win!)
Oh Let him win! (Oh Let me win!)
Because if I dont win I will start leaving strange boxes outside your HQ. I know where you work
On a downhill bike it’s hard to adjust the height of the seat as they are bolted on. An adjustable seat would be great, lower when downhilling and rise when crusing.
Because I have a bike buying addiction, i just called the doctor & he said it would save the NHS paying for anti-depressants, bikes are my endorphin releasing drug of choice, & I ain’t goin anywhere near a 29′er, cause that will surely push me over the edge
I used to be indicisive, but now I just don’t know….
Because i suffer from erectile dysfunction and need to please my gf in some way!!
Because my shaft only has a puny 3 inches of extension at the the moment which I’m told is less than impressive. The extra 2 inches would bring a lot more joy to my life.
I look like a gimp going downhill and trying to jump drops with the saddle up my ass!
Because i’m french…
It seems like all my mates have a dropper post. So, to keep up i’ve developed a technique of hopping off the saddle, running alongside the bike and adjusting my post on the fly. It works great, apart from i think there will eventually be a day where my pedals wear through my shin bones! So it’s either one of these new seatposts or a shin transplant… What do you think?
because I’m 2m tall student who would love to not have to get off his bike at the top of every climb to pull his mile long seat post out his ass so I can hammer it down hill.
Because I can’t take the pain and desperation of grappeling with a QR lever with cold, wet, unhappy numb fingers in our crappy climate any more!! (And I can’t aford one!! Please!!)
Because. I’ve just bought a new lapierre spicy 916 and this will work amazingly with their internal cable routing! I’m also a legend with things like Facebook, so my comments about how great it is and my pics will looks so good, they will go viral and you will love it! Red will match the 916 too!
What an great way to instantly ‘lift up’ my mood anytime I like!
Lets face it, nobody really “needs” this unless they can’t get on their bike when the saddle is up high… But I, just like all the others, would put it to good use doing the ol’ “up and down” with my ass perched on this post. And since CB claim it’s better done this time, I could report back how it holds up when I throw some nasty, one foot deep Belgian mud / limestone / cowshit and whatnot at it?
Most importantly, it would look so Bling! on my bike I would wash it after each ride to show off this bouncy saddle stick to all my mates! And they would let me ride in front just because then they can look at this fantastic piece of shiny metal!
And since they would be staring at my behind all the time, they would look gay and I will have all the girls I want!
So is this a done deal, or what???
Because I always forget to lower my seat until about a quarter of the way down the decent when the saddle tries to kick me over the bars! Then when I get to the bottom I get stuck behind the saddle when my trousers hook on the back, this has lead to a few close encounters with the rear wheel. This seatpost would stop this from happening.
Got a Reverb…. You have it.
Because for once it would be nice to be the first person for a good reason, rather than the normal stupid reasons like being the first person out of my mates to fall off their bike riding over a sleeping policeman!
If its good enough for Hans Ray to advertise then its more than good enough for me!
Plus baby on way means no ££
Coz im like danny hart;
my balls are so big I can sit down with a regular seatpost
Because my backside is in dire need of that brothers product ….errrrm no what I’m saying is… having 400mm up my arse ruins decent trail sections….. erm need to clean it up…. racing enduro without one will turn my bike into a chocolate teapot …. no one wants to race on a chocolate tea pot… yup think that just about covers it
Ill wear the tshirt, follow and mention as much as possible and use at enduro1 race
Because it’ll take a lot to mkae me change from a Reverb!
Because it will improve my riding a lot and help others gain pleasure too. As we all know its those extra few inches that makes all the difference!
Because, aparrently accordance to the wife i have to spend that money on feeding the kids. (no one told me that i’d have to feed them).
Just because. You know it makes sense.
Because i’ve just been made redundant and having something shiny to bolt on my bike will stop me crying!!!
Because I like sitting down on my dirt jump bike
Hey Billy!
.
You said three last week, what happened, did the other one break in the post?
This seat post would make a most welcome gift because recently I was lucky enough to enjoy a week of food poisoning and now i feel my arse could do with a bit of TLC.
Because I need 5 inches of travel for my bum!
My friends are always giving me jip for holding them up at the top and bottom of hills whilst i faff about with my
post. I tried to master the art of dropping it whilst riding but keep crashing into bushes. For the sake of my riding buddies and all bushes everywhere, I need this upgrade to bring me into the future.
It’s designed for me! KRONOLOG means: Karol Riding On New Outstanding Lever-operated Oil-free Gear. Simply custom made!
Being analy probed by your seat isn’t much fun, and neither is the steel undergarment i wear to prevent such intrusions…. This post would cure all ills!
I don’t mind taking it off your hands especially if its a Crankbrothers and it’s FREEEEEE!!
Hey i’m only telling the truth!
Because I simply CAN’T be bothered putting my seat up anymore. It ruins everything. EVERYTHING!
Because doing THIS is just ridiculous!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiakVIfTW0Q
It would go great with my new Santa Cruz Blur 4x frame, (which I will be forced to buy if I win this as it won’t fit on my Dialled Alpine)and having just come off a hardtail my rear-end could do with a decent bit of damping. Oh and seat clamps just hurt my fingers!Plus my last name is Wheeler, come on!
cause I’m old and female and need all the help I can get, and yea loving the new mountain bike sport I have very recently taken up
X Happy Days
You should give it to me because I’m 28 and redoing my GCSE maths so I can get on an engineerinig course (yeah really!!) and I’ve got a maths exam this afternoon and all I’m gonna be thinking about when I get a ridiculously hard question I can’t answer is ‘F-kit, should’ve just gone out riding instead….’
Because I believe it will fall to pieces on the first ride. I need it so I can be proved wrong.
wow, listen to all these desperate bastards…. interested in seeing it tested though
Because paying for the privilege of doing beta testing makes me Kranky.
Because then I can be the first person to return one under warranty when it goes pop after 2 hours…
because I’m about to become a dad – so I need all the help I can get!
yeah yeah yeah yeah, gimme gimme gimme!!!
Because i’ve given up bread AND potato for lent, and its making me kranky.
Because when I first get it I will play with it by pushing the button and pretending it is a lightsabre. Then I will proceed to be come a jedi master of the trails by effortlesly gliding up climbs and shredding the sweet knarly descents without stopping. I have often become too wired at the top of a descent to stop and waste valuable stokens fiddling with my seatpost. The resulting injuries may jeporadize any future hopes of spawning young rippers of my own one day, so please think of them.
Because I don’t have one but based on friends experiences with them I would really like one, however, after paying for numerous enduro and mega entries I am left without the spare cash to think about another purchase even though this particular purchase could help my results. The missus would not approve of more money being spent over and above her holiday. I will provide valuable and honest feedback from a race environment and weekend thrashing also.
Because i like my man junk in tact after a decent on my hardtail.
Because i really like the look of the design and want to make all my friends jealous out on the trail and racing.
I should be given this fine piece of seatpost because when i seat bounce super booters i want to be reassured it will still work after landing.
Why me? Quite simply I need a 5 inch erection in my seat at just the push of a button. Hydrualic fluids and infinite adjustment, sign me up! This industry is all about trust, and who else can you trust more than your family? Thats right complex erections are a family affair, which is why the only brand I will let put their post in MY tube is Crank Brothers! They’ve been cranking one out together for years!
Because my aluminium post only seems to drop when i power slam it in with my bum, then doesnt return up for more fun.
Because I want to retro fit one to the spinning bikes in the gym then I can properly shred the downhill sections.
because my bean bag needs a few inches of relief in those technical spots.
I need this post as i am a relatively tall guy and it would be a great deal of help when trying to prevent knocking myself out on low branches/trees while out on the trail. My only other option is to stem shag which has its complications, or suffer severe rubber burns provided by my rear tire…. this also has its complications.
Could do wi one of these so when I’m dilated I can use my seat post to filate my self.
Because Tigger’s a wonderful thing!
Because getting probed by my seat every time I come across a quick downhill section on the trail is a killer, I need a break!
Because I couldn’t get my saddle any higher if I tried…
Cause I’m doing the Trans Provence and I need one. Think of advretising for dirt and Crank brothers!!!
Because my 3 has no JOP-Left-IN it.
Or because I found this –
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TYKfufKAHg
Being a clumsy fat lad who breaks most things bike related I can provide a full Kronological testing report on the posts ups and downs?
I would like one of your droppers because it’s the closest thing to having an ejector seat.
Because you cant guarantee that I’ll be the first person in the UK to fit this to my bike. What if the other winner fits theirs first? I guess you’re going to have to give me both then?
Hi, please give me the post to rile all the people who have a legitimate reason for it. Schadenfreude at it’s best!
Because my 7 year old daughter keeps telling me not to stop when I need to put the seatpost up on our rides out.
just coz
Because as a fan of Dirt I comment on regular posts, not just the competition and “I hate 29er” discussions!
Because I spent all my money on a new bike and can’t afford one!
Because I have to feel the ‘high’s and the ‘lows’ of mountain biking at the moment. I have just come back from an injury and illness and I am desperate to go out riding again, this would really boost my confidence on the downhills. Maybe push me just that little bit further maybe get into racing a do a ‘steve peat’….
Coz I can’t keep up with my mates on night rides with there fancy nancy uppy downy seatposts. I don’t even have a QR seatpost, I carry a multi-tool,lol!
Because if i don´t win, Rick Astley is gonna make me his bitch.
Chuck Norris.
Cos I am asking nicely, please Billy ;[-)
kos its kool kit from krank i kovet & i kan keep my knuts klear of knocks with a kranky kronolog from your kindly kompetition
Because i done some research and found out that krono or kronos or sometimes cronus was a titan and is translated as son of Uranus, so Kronolog could be translated as “Log Son of Uranus”.
Because it will get me back out again on my bike and riding everything. No mucking about with seat clamps, breaking up the flow of beautiful single track up and down the country to make necessary but irritating adjustments. I will also maintain a long-term blog dedicated to reporting on how it performs and changes my riding experience. I’d like to buy one but with two bairns now I am cash and time poor – if I spent the money on the post or the time fiddling with bike set up I’d be thrown out by my other half.
Because winning this might briefly take my mind off the fact that i cannot find anyone on the whole damn internet that is saying they will broadcast live the downhill World Cup this year. All this fretting has caused me so much grief, I’ve been taking it out on my poor bike, hey dirt I don’t suppose you have a new chainset lying around do you, oh and bottom bracket, oh and 9spd cassette, oh and rear mech, hell why not send me the seat post and a new xtr groupset
Because it’ll look pimp on my new Meta AM1 and I hate the flappy hose on the Reverb post that came with it, (plus you can have the Reverb in exchange ;o))
Because i’ll gi’ ya blowy
Because I’m fed up with having a normal seat post after many years of having to stop and raise or drop my seat during a ride.
So that when I go out to the mega on my my hardtail I can pedal like Chuck Norris on A
Ooops got a bit too keen! I should get one so that when I go out to the mega on my my hardtail I can pedal like Chuck Norris on Acid and beat all the frenchies!
Because Crank Brothers FAILED at their last attempt and I want to run this post in the mud of the PNW and prove that out of all Crank Brothers products, the Egg Beater isn’t the one product Crank Brothers has done well.
Because Im Mr Crank’s brother and he promised me one.
I deserve to win because I want to improve my riding so took a look at the pros and thought “if I could cycle every day I’d be just as good” well, maybe not just as good but I am improving! I have cycled every day in 2012, in all weather and even when on holiday, hiring the Cyprus equivalent of a “boris bike” to maintain the challenge and even managed to bunny hop the three tonne monster!
This post would make my challenge smoother and make my bike look even sexier!
Because I have worn my seat post by putting it up and down all the time and now it doesn’t fit.
Because if you dont i’ll send you a poke in the eye…..registered delivery!
Because I deserve it.
Because my old KS i950 broke a few days ago.
because I’m a cunt, so give it to me now!
Because I have erectile dysfunction and it would be nice if something I own could get bigger and longer.
i live in Kendal. Where mintcake comes from. I actually need one for the steep uphills and rocky downhills unlike most of these soft southeners wanting to get back to their beamers.
You owe me one for all the ribbing I have taken for that god awful photo you used of me topless on page 59 of Dirt 121.
Fanks
I want one because my ballbag hurts, after not dropping the post on descents!
Because us kids will do anything for the taste of a kronolog.
I usually only ride downhill, but my wife has been ‘NAGGING ME TO DEATH’ lately that i have now taken up XC riding so i’m out most of the time. This seatpost would make my few hours of XC more comfortable before returning to the NAGGING!!!!
Meh… looks alright, spose i wouldnt mind a free one
I am building a new 6 inch travel enuro and mini downhill bike. Exactly what this seatpost is made for. Give it to me and I will return the favour with a full “hammered” review at the end of the summer, can’t say fairer than that!
looks like a trek
cos I wanna pimp my ride….
BECAUSE MY BUMS ITCHING
Because Im from Chile, and I have no idea what im doing here.
so i can sell it an buy a Ti coil spring an maybe some crack if theres any spare £
Because if I win one i’ll send you a cake AND a pack of biscuits!
because i really want one of them up my ass !
As an ageing ragger {49} I could do with a Kronolog as every advantage is now needed to keep those Blasted young Gromets at bay !!
because I blew my whole student loan on being an alcoholic, therefor not being able to afford one of these!
because I blew my whole student loan on being an alcoholic, therefor not being able to afford one of these bad boys!
if I win, I’ll take the Dirt crew out on s.wales best secret trails that have taken 26yrs of mtb exploring to find & piece together, with shuttable DH trails & collect the post in person
Because with something called a Kronolog I can finally create time travel!
Because I’m worth it
Tits!
Cause Pink Bike aint got any. Ouch that gotta hurt em
It will be a perfect gift for my father who has some difficulty to climb up the mountain in order to admire beautiful sceneries in Switzerland among cows, mountain and sun.I’m sure he will receive the most useful gift to continue to climb this mountain like he did for many years.
because im lazy and i dont want to stop to drop my seat i want to push lever to do it for me please!!!
Because i broke my old crank brothers joplin ONE day after the warranty ran out……..
Pick me, my year so far has been a bit ‘up and down’.
‘cos I’m the crankiest brother in the UK
If you give it to me, I’ll bin it cos it will be a useless pile of crap, like everything else they make, seriously, have you ever seen so much shit feedback for one brand?
Because my Joplin is rubbing my frame up the wrong way
i had a joplin 3 and it was shit. went back on warranty and still shit. give it to me so that i can have faith again in crank brothers. they need my faith!!!
if i get it, i have a reason to buy an Enduro bike…
Because my kneescan take no more riding xc with the seat slammed. I creak like my mum’s bed
cornflakes cornflakes cornflakes cornflakes cornflakes cornflakes cornflakes cornflakes cornflakes cornflakes cornflakes cornflakes cornflakes cornflakes
Because I am currently juggling weekly go-ride coaching (unpaid as a level 2 coach) with my second year of A-level: Hist, Physics, Maths, Further Maths(big mistake), and although I don’t like to cry about it as I enjoy it all lots, it would put a smile on my face every time I saw the seatpost I got for my efforts. Being young I would also be able to enjoy using it for many years.
They look pants, im not interested. Just thought i’d let you know
Next to being the first person in the UK riding it, it would be my first time riding in the UK (I’m Dutch)….seems like a good idea!
I’m building myself a steel AM frame, the post would be a perfect match.
Because my homemade dropper seatpost made from the wife’s rampant rabbit goes up & down wayyyy too fast. Its a real pain in the arse.
Because up is the new down.
because my other seatpost is a reverb.
Becuase the last seat post I bought wasnt a dropper, and the seat is still wedged firmly up my ass. Please help by giving me this post.
Because if you don’t I’ll send the heavies ’round! And you don’t want to see Agnes when she’s angry.
because i am fed up of having to get off my bike everytime my good lady wants her seat at a different height because the seat clamp is too stiff for her to operate, our biking days would then be filled with joy!!
oh Kronolog oh Kronolog you look like the bollox under my dog,and made by none other than crankbrothers you know they’ll be better than the other mothers!
Because Im American, so therefore I am too fat and lazy to go get my own. Plus, ill even pay the postage.
Because… I will work with them day in day out and probably still won’t ever have the chance to use one, heck I haven’t even used a Joplin and I have been servicing them for ages!
Because all the bigger boy’s have them!
Because it’s beautiful!
What goes up. Must come down!
Be pretty damn cool to be the first of my mates to get a dropper post… Plus I need all the help I can get on XC rides!
Holy b’jesus I need one! I would very much like to prove that SRAM isn’t the word! Drop it like its hot!
Too much girth for my old Cannondale Prophet, it’ll surely then be enough justification to be allowed a new steed which is built to take those mechanical meaty diameters.
It would be nice to stop getting “The Ass Tap of Death” on steep rowdy sections and also to be able to Sow into corners without my saddle all up in my swiss roll. Plus I’m Irish and Paddy’s day is coming up!
what ever
I want to save my minerals while going over minerals and I’d rather have my seat come up and make its way to my ass than my ass surround and drown my seat. Do be kind and allow me the pleasure
The Kronolog would hone my hog to spin the cogs and smash the slogs
i have wanted a dropper seatpost for a while now reliability is what i need also build quality is a must for my ride need to know its there when its called for! crankbros definitely been on the case with making better and better posts so maybe this is what i have been waiting for?
I dont deserve to be the 1st one to ride it , my dad does after all the money hes put into me and my bikes I think he should get it , and if I won , i’d give it to him.
Because I’m building up my first proper am bike and this would be great to put on it!!
I bet fox are shitting themselves…..
Because my Gravity Dropper, Joplin 4 and Reverb are all bust!
I live for the down sections. Currently I stop and shift my seatpost start and end of each section which spoils the flow and I am missing out on huge fun opportunities in the rolling sections which the Kronolog would also give back
Because im fed up of lubing my shaft so my seat post drops only for me to realise that when a hill turns up its a normal post and wont come back up so i end up having to ride up a hill so steep that my legs are getting like chris hoys and i cant afford new shorts. please give me a spanking new cb seat post so i dont have to ride my bike in a skirt to accomodate my incredible hulk legs from low down riding.
Because my mate snapped my Maverick Speedball back in the day and has refused ever since to buy me another dropper post.
So I can have a better chance of keeping up with my hubby on the downhills
Because I live for the ‘ups’…
And smash it on the ‘downs’ !
Because I’m belgian and if I win that I’ll need to move to UK and live in UK to have the chance to become “the first person in the UK to be riding on the kronolog”.
No, in fact the truth is that here in Belgium, there’s no belgian magazine as great as Dirt mag and that rocks as much as Dirt mag to give a chance to there european subscribers to win that kind of super nice gift !
Because I have just lost my job and it would possibly be the only shiny thing that I will have for many years to come unless I break into my little girl’s piggy bank!
Honestly? Keeping up with my reverb-equipped 6″-travel carbon-bike-riding friends on my faithful steel hardtail is difficult enough. But it is downright embarrassing having to stop to lower my saddle as they all go streaming off into the distance without a moments pause. They then wait for me at the bottom of the downhills! So, Dirt, let me regain some dignity, and let my friends stop having to wait for me and let me win a Kronolog! Cheers
I don’t want one as I’ve been stiffed twice buying crank brothers stuff which has fallen apart/not worked within a short period of use. They couldn’t give their stuff away as far as I am concerned.
Beacuse its free if you give me one.
coz it’s my grandmother’s birthday and she needs a new sex toy… I talked to her about kronolog and as soon as she heard the features “robustness”, “twice as strong as other toy on the market”, “hydraulic feel”, “smooth supple and quiet”, “locks into posistion both upwards and downwards”, “travel infinitely adjustable”, “remote adjust”, “Warranty 2 years”, she went totally mad saying: “Jesus f**king Christ, this one is a bomb ass toy, GIMME A KRONOLOG!!!
I deserve it as I wear Sex Panther and 60% of the time, it works every time.
don’t need. don’t want. looks shit.
I’ve changed my answer… I’d like to win it so I can give it to my girlfriend instead of an engagement ring… I think she’d really appreciate it?!
I really fancy a blowjob!
Because I need that Two-stage Dampening to save my “boyz”!!!!
Why did the Saddle hate the Kronolog? Because he was always bringing him down.
Because I’ll be the envy of all the commuters on the London streets when I fit this to my fixie and ride to work each day…
because my rideing pal bloody hates dropper posts!!!!
i hate them too,i doubt this one is any better
I should win this because I’ve already cut my 27.2 mm seat tube off and welded a new one in place ready to receive my free Kronolog.
Because it will go sweet with the remote height adjustable steered tube I am developing. Slammed to chopper in seconds.
no thanks not even for free!
I’ll be riding the pass portes, mega avalanche, lake garda, finale ligure, lake district and many more in a massive 6 month tour of the UK and Europe. Need to pimp my ride with the new Kronolog
er… I can think of no good reason why I need this, but I’d like it cos it looks like a nice bit of engineering and I could use it to poke people from a range of 5 inches at the flick of a switch.
Because i am a girl and dirt is mostly aimed at boys so it would be good for the girls who read dirt if one of us won..:-) plus i just bought my first full sus bike and it would look perfect on it, not to mention that it would be great for my UK riding and Alpine riding trips for this year
and my boyfriend thinks seat droppers are gay but if i won a crank brothers one and wafted it in his face he would soon be quiet 
that is all 
p.s. can i have the red one? It would match my bike! lol
So I can fit it to the exercise bike and make it more interesting by raising and lower the seat as if I’m riding over rad gnar!!!
Dropping my seat for nasty fun bits has really helped my riding but I hate slowing down my fellow riders whilst they wait for me to use my not so quick, quick release!
cause i hate quick release
because quick release sucks
Because Ive Rode,Bust & Killed every other Dropper seatpost on the Market!!!
My wife left me for another man on New Years Eve. As she gets to ride a new bloke this year I’d like to ride a new seat post.
awa
It’d be a lovely birthday present, I gain another year on Thursday!
cos im gonna use it to train my girlfriend how to be one top!
The wonderful thing about Kronolog’s
Is Kronolog’s are wonderful things!
Their tops are made out of rubber
Their bottoms are made out of wonderful things!
They’re bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy
Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun!
But the most wonderful thing about Kronolog is
I’m the only post to have
Kronolog’s are post’d fellas
Kronolog’s are awfully strong
Ev’ryone el-us is jealous
The wonderful thing about Kronolog’s
Is Kronolog’s are marvelous posts!
They’re loaded with vim and vigor
They love to support your bum!
They’re jumpy, bumpy, clumpy, thumpy
Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun!
But the most wonderful thing about Kronolog’s is
It is the only one

My mum always says “Son don’t ride angry!” and to start with I don’t, then i come across some mint downhill section on a new trail and i’ve not stopped and lowered my seat, i try to shift my weight back but, whats this, my bloody seats in the way. OH NO i’m angry, I’m riding angry, look up ahead a big root, I’ll teach that root, I’ll let off the brakes and get some air. Thats how angry I am, but wait that root has other ideas, it’s a little slippy, it’s angled slightly away from me, there’s a little too much air in my front tyre (my crappy track pump guage is under-reading). I hit that root, my tyre slides across, I try to compensate by shifting my weight further back, get snagged on the seat and it’s another big off for ‘Angry Paul’!!! Having that seat post might help.
It would be great to complete the Megavalanche with a dropper post that has excellent reliability, does not get stuck up or down, doesn’t constantly wobble,that has a cable that doesn’t rub the paint off my pride and joy and allows me to enjoy the whole experience worry free.
Because i’m ugly and fat
After coming off my bike a few weeks ago I not only ended up with a fractured collarbone, but worse, a broken bike!
I have had to sell some stuff to get her ridable again (I know I can’t ride now but it’d be a shame to not have her ready the moment I’m fit wouldn’t it?). I don’t have enough dough left for a dropper, not only would this finish off my bike nicely but it would also lighten my mood (stuck for 6 weeks unable to drive or do just about anything is not fun!).
It refreshes parts that other seatposts cannot reach
I have been riding my seat post at full stretch on every ride, even when riding down hill on my cross country bike. This seat post will allow me to ride up, down and everything in between.
When your a student, and very poor, it’s hard to keep mountain biking. Getting a puncture can be the difference between eating pasta bolognese for half the week or the whole week, but when you get the opportunity to win something that’s even out of the bounds of a birthday present it’s always worth entering in the hope that one day I may actually win something.
Not to mention the fact that it’d make riding the peaks a great deal easier and more fun.
Because I’ve no idea if I want one…. Do I want one? not sure, it look pretty and is expensive so it must be really good, mustn’t it? I don’t know, it’s all very confusing, things were different years ago,no suspension, disc brakes or adjustable seat posts, bring back frame mounted gearlevers I say… thinking of them, why aren’t we all out on Raleigh choppers any more? Gibber….

Oooops…. hey ho, If I won this seatpost I wouldn’t double post any more. Hopefully.
Because i,m black and dam near white.GT front to back baby.That,s how we get down in the south MAAHHNNN!!!!!!
Minge!!
I don’t have a fancy-pants seatpost and my name is kronolog.
Because its shite …………….!
because im the one
Because the wife wont let me have a hydrolic one after getting oil all over the kitchen floor trying to bleed my brakes the other day
So the Kronolog sounds the Dogs Doodars to me !!!!!!!!
my bike deserves an erection too when its having fun!
Because if i don´t win, then i´m gonna buy a seatpost from Crank Cousins and the Brothers are gonna get so mad at you it´s just mean.
Because i am doing the mega avalanche and my budget can’t stretch do buy a dropper.Do you really want to send me to do the mega without one ?
Because i’m a tight arse and i dont want to pay hundreds of pounds for one when i can get one free! Please?
I obviously need it more than anyone else. As a super hero I find it hard to get time off from fighting crime and go purchase one.
It would also look great with my mask and cape, especially the black one.
@ pierre alain
Admitting your French to win this competition although highly amusing did you no favours in the long run.
I gave you a -1 because although as a super hero I have great control some things just can’t be controlled.
No one should be allowed to ride this, only gods are worthy!
sure as hell would be nice though!!
In the same way thay you answer little kids silly questions; “why does Daddy need a new seatpost?”
“Just because…” I answer.
Because im seventeen on minimum wage working everyday of my life (including sundays which is normally my riding day) to build my dream bike and having a dropper seatpost of that standard would make it that more extra special.
i have been looking for a pretty good but cheap drop down seat post and i know that crank brothers stuff are really good and i think i am a average rider but some drops i have to stop and get off to drop my seat.
So I can beat some bankers to death with it, because if it wasn’t for those twats the majority of people answering this competition would have some disposable income to save up and pay for one.
Because that red coordinates with my lipstick and nail polish.
because it’s top-notch for enduro riding in the Alps!! oh and I guess the Alps are now part of the UK because there so many British riders out there!!!
because I haven’t got one
i don’t wanna be the first person in the uk, i wanna be the first one in norway. The mountains in my region are not that high so its so anoying just to stop and lift up and down the seatpost manually every 5 minutes…
If the new “uplift” DH races are anything to go by, i.e. Innerleithen DH race round 3, where you actually have to pedal 2 miles to get to the bloody uplift, I will require the Black Kronolog with a 30.9 diameter.
My pussy has also just been diagnosed with diabetes and the vet bill cost as much as the seat post. My Mrs said she was going spend that money on a dropper for me but alas the pussy cat needs sorted.
Thanks
I would appreciate a Kronolog seatpost as the zombies are out to get me and I could do with a suitable melee weapon.
I bruised my tailbone and it would have been nice to have this seatpost as I would’ve been able to sit without using a dohnut. Furthermore I would have thus be able to plug the seatpost in numerous forums as the saviour of my hiney!
Because ….. I am… Patrick Swayze..
Because I could have 7.3% more fun on my bike with a dropper seat post fitted.
I always last to start a decent, but always first man down when riding with me mates, having kronolog dropper post would mean i’m always going to be out front as i do like being chased
because i love the feeling of 405mm going up and down between my legs….
HELP ME!!!! to stop ozzy (my dog) giving me doggie evils every time i have to stop and adjust my seat post when out riding in the hills with him he’s scaring me!!!!
To ease myself into a new day, I like to look into the mirror and sing, as Chesney once did, “I am the one and only, no body I’d rather be”……I haven’t been able to do this since you started telling me how good cheater posts are.
After my step ladder broke, trying to get onto the seat of my penny farthing is literally impossible. This will be my mechanical lift to riding heaven!
Because I can do this and nobody cares.

I pedal my skinny ass back up that hill too.
Hello

Irvin Chapmak
I’d love a Kronolog because my Irwin wood clamp doesn’t match my bike’s colour scheme.
Because I’m not pasting in Job Spec’s like the one above?
Mainly I’d be nice to have one as The Wife is jealous of my Reverb and quite frankly I begrudge having to fork out the hard earned on stuff for her bike rather than mine…
I would like one because my girlfriend tends to hurt her hand when tweaking my lever to go up and down when riding. Its emabrassing as well cause currently I wobble about when having a leg over and going up at a heavy cadence !
Because after a heavy landing I snapped my last seat post and proceeded to use my back tyre as a method for waxing my arse. I now sleep with a plastic caravan step holding the duvet off my butt cheeks.
This all leads to me being a great advert for the Kronolog because when I ride, my arse will be like a big glowing neon light above the product!
Because I’m getting married in May and need the best release I can get. aka getting out on the bike with dropper post attached.
Because I have a serious fetish/addiction for seat posts and need help! I have gone through 10 different seat posts in 2 years from Thomson, Easton Carbon, Lynskey Ti and more. I feel this post will cure my addiction. Please help me, my family begs this of you!
Apart from the blatant attempt at bribing you with beer and pasty’s, I’d also like the post so I have another excuse to build up another bike. The family complain about my “so called” child like fascination with push bikes! They see it as silly money being spent on something that is a greatly release to me after busy periods in work. If i win a post then I can justify the reason to buy another bike as this wouldn’t work on the DH rig…. It just wouldn’t…….
I’d also be able to prevent the lass from trying to jump on one of the bikes by raising the batboy up, so she can’t use the bike. “This is my thing sugartits, go back to your rowing club and leave me be.”
It also gives me an incentive to come back with my legs from over here in Afghan…. would be wildly ironic to win this and then not be able to use it………
I really need one man, i’ve just had my back doors smashed in….
Because I waited patiently for 298 messages to say:
This IS SPARTA!!!!
Why should I get the seat post…? Because I…
.
.
K rank it hard, it’s the only way to
R ide – like a man possessed, I mustn’t overdo it so I go
O ver the bars – I won’t with this seat post – now I’ll
N ever stop to drop again, the
O bsession for riding is what
L iving is all about, to be out there
O bliterating every trail – killer climb or tech decent, it doesn’t matter.
G et out and Ride. I fricken love it.
Because something on my bike has to be bling. And work properly.
’cause my mate has been making me jealous the past few weeks down at Gisburn Forest with his Rockshox Reverb, be nice to see the look on his face when he sees a kronolog attached to my ride
that’ll shut the “BLEEP” up!! ha
i know everyone is making stupid comments.. but i think it would be amazing to have one of these as i am starting enduro. This isnt the best paragraph but im sure i would be the happiest boy in the world if i won it:D not just would be good to have one it will also make me feel pro if i have an amazing part on my bike. thanks

Because I told my mates that I’m having a deal with Crank Brothers that from now on, they will be sending me every new piece of kit they make, for testing and approval. Long time deserved, as you’re supper shredder and kit killer – they said. And than they started licking my face (wtf ???). And then I woke up, it was my dog
Because I cant think of an amusing or clever comment that hasnt been said already. I’d just really like a dropper post on my bike and one of these would be sweet!
Because it would be the perfect complement to my new Scott Genius 50!
Cos I dont f around, my bike is bad ass, my riding is slick and that drop post would send my steeze sub zero
Because I’ve never had anything go up and down under my ass before, but I’m willing to give it a try
Because my wife no longer lets me swing my leg over her, so this would be the on thing I could get my leg over and go up and down on without risking a divorce! please make a fat bald man happy.
I’m a student so I am skint, it would be amazing on my pitch, and would make me really happy when I’m out shredding trails in the Forest of Dean.
Because now I can only afford shaving my legs to go faster downhill and I think if Crank Brothers has a chance to prevent one from doing that, it’s your obligation (on whatever soil).
because because because…………..the wonderfull wizard of Oz
Because it’s time I got one..
because i’m doing the Passporte du Soleil this year on my old sx trail and ‘I’m (not) worth it’
Because i broke my collar bone in the Mendip Hills after getting caught up on my (apparently too high) saddle and the NHS did such a fantastic job of fixing me up that i’ve got a huge scar and wonkey shoulders to show for it
I am the angel of death. The time of purification is at hand.
Because I would be coolest kid at the trail center with a bouncy post! and obviously I need one to make me the fastest kid aswell! it may also improve my ability to skid and wheelie! possibly even cutties?!
Seatposts are like a box of chocolates, you keep the good one and throw the rest away.
Because I will send my Angel of Death…see above who will be very angry as his current seat rubs on his bottom on the big downhills…he cries a lot.
purely because il never be able to afford one with whats left of my college bursary…
Because I’m a bad man like Jimmy Cliff
Well cos it would be about time I won something. And be good karma for helping a young girl out last week in the local woods. Who seriously needed medical assistance and a nice chap like me to call her an ambulance. Forfeited a great DH route and the rest of my days ride because of it.
I write on behalf of my 4 week old twins, Ben and Abi, who say, “We’d like one of the seat posts to give to our mum for her 1st ever mothers day gift. It would be the ideal gift to celebrate her post partum return to the trails and help make up for all time she had off the bike while she was carrying us. Cheers! “
i need one because some foolish policeman drove my car under a height restriction bar…. WITH MY BIKE ON THE ROOF!!!! and bent my seat post!!!
Those magnificent men on their flying machines , they go up d- de up they go down d-de down , I would do it a lot quicker with a Kronolog
Beacause when I am down I need up…
And when I am up I need down…
And when I am only half way up…
I need either up or down…!!!
Because I ride like a girl in enduro races, well, the fastest girl. A Crank Bros Kronolog would help me to reduce my time, hopefully. I like riding up, across and down hills, that’s what MTBing is all about isn’t it? And that’s what dropper posts are all about doing.
Because I bought a joplin post and it broke… so can I have this one please i’ll give CB a second chance
I think i should win this lush seatpost, because i love cycling to the top of tracks but its the most annoying having to clip out your bike to ajust your seatto tackle a decent. I have been looking at these dropper posts but i sadly can’t afford one. Also my bike seatpost doesn’t go as low as i would like to go but a dropper post would solve this problem for me. I’m also looking to get into enduro racing and these are highy recomended by many people.
kronolog:it’s about time!
So I can drop my guts in public.
Because i want to give it a good hard spanking and report back to tell ya how it performs! ps. Wales rocks

I can’t afford to go ride abroad, but I would use it every day out in the sunny Scottish hills “blasting” (aka struggling) up the climbs, dropping the post and then ripping down the descents; not having to stop and hence not having the chance for my big cheesy grin to fade! I could even pretend I was doing the Mega (I may even make race noises).
Because I’ve been raped one too many times by my seat on the downhills.
Braaaaap!! Braaaapppp!!
That’s me riding my bike if I win the Kronolog seatpost…
xxx
I would like to win this seat post to protect my boyfriend precious jewels so we can have children one day.
Don’t give the seat to ‘Kara’ (above), I want my children to be good looking and smart. But give it to me and I will use it as a prodding post to make my boyfriend do the washing up much faster, he’s getting slack.
Both Kara & The REAL Kara do not deserve becasue I have seen them and they are both sexual deviants with a passion for showing their genitals in public places…please oh please give this fine bicycle product to me and I will promise to send you pictures of said genitals being aired freely in all manor of religious and shoppong situations.
Because i’m fed up of getting off my bike to put the seat post up and down. I’ve wanted one of these seat postest since i’ve had a xc bike but their just to expensive.
Because my pet monkey that is a trained bike mechanic has left me to join the circus and I can’t be bothered to get my allen key set out!
I have never won anything. Ever. When I was 8 I thought I would win a Blue Peter badge and got so excited I pledged to name my first born after the first thing I won (I liked the name Blue). Apparently the badge got “lost in the post” and hence the title is still up for grabs. I am beginning to love the name Kronolog; think of the respect he would command at school!
That aside, it would go some way to helping me beat my (much fitter) riding mates as I cruise past them every time they have to stop and raise/lower their posts like cavemen.
And finally, I am more excited about this release than I am about the new iPad 2/3/4/4a/4b/4s or whatever they are calling it…
Because my pet monkey that is a trained bike mechanic has left me to join the circus, and I can’t be bothered to get my allen key set out!
do you know how long and how much of inconvenience it is to stop and rummage around in your bag for that 6mm allen key, only to to lower it for that short uk downhill section and then to put it back up to continue on your enduro ride! these would certainly make life easier!
It’s the Dirk Diggler of seat posts, just keeps on going!
Because its not always fun having your balls slapped!
Because I raced the Megaavalanche last year and I could have really used one!
i deserve this for many reasons. im having difficulty painting my lounge due to my cackhandedness. it looks terrible and the missus is giving me grief as a result. im doing my best. our son will be here in 10 days and i havent read the books yet because i keep picking up dirt instead. im getting grief for that. thirdly, well frankly if thats not enough of a reaon then there is something afoot.
i dont have time to ride much at the moment so a seat dropper would help me get the most out of my rides.
help me smooth my life over Dirt.
x
They are not a british company. The british can make a better one than the Yanks. I would like this post to strip down, understand the internals and basically make a better one to beat the rest, that is british made!
You would be helping the Empire grow
I’m 17 and racing in the megavalanche this year. Last year I just missed out on the main event, but managed to qualify for the challenger race which I then came 11th and got 3rd place espoir challenger. I’m really hoping that I’ll be able to race the main race this year, and I really think that this dropper will make such a difference. Absalon watch your back!
Because of this picture of my dog http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/7069/gollumm.jpg
I am a seatpost and set of wheels away from finishing my Spesh Enduro build and I think the red Kronolog with remote would be the perfect finish to my build making it the “Dirk Diggler” of the trails, my riding buddies will forever more suffer from “Seat Post Envy”
Now I feel so lame, I didn’t see someone else had made a “Dirk Diggler” reference
because it would look ace on the wee fellas balance bike
I need this in my life because it is a beautiful bit of kit that I could never afford because I keep having to replace the tyres and inner tubes on my commuter bike after riding through the glass shard scattered roads of London every day to get to work. My hardtail needs treating to new components just as much as my foldy!
due to the fact im a poor uni student so cant afford my own, and all this hype about dropper posts so i need to do a non biased review for your website so everyone knows the truth about them!
Because a KRONOLOG seatpost would go with my Chronograph watch, and my obsession with keeping things in Chronological order. It would also look beautiful on my shiney copper SX trail which, contrary to popular belief, is a great bike for going up and down Welsh mountains (it just needs a dropper to save me from stopping all the time).
That awkward moment when you’re halfway through the Megavalanche 2011 and you reach for the trigger to drop your saddle just before a technical descent and you realise that you’re on a hardtail with a standard seatpin.
Please don’t put a Brother through this again.
I think…. in fact I know this would make me the happiest mountain biker in the south west ! And after 2 spinal operations and many a crash my days of just downhilling are over and this would make a lovley addition to my stumpjumper rebuild for a bit of enduro!
I would like this post because…….
i have the most beautiful bike in the whole world a lapierre Spicy! its my pride and joy! my bike who we will name RON is turning 1 next week. as a proud father of 4 bikes i cant afford to treat him to anything for his first birthday! do me a favor and help me make RON’s dream come true! do you guys want to have little RON walking up on his Birthday run with no spanking new Dropper post??? could you guys honestly live with that on your Consciences??? i let you be the Judge of that!!
cheers

I got the rolly on my arm and I’m pouring Chandon, just need a pimpin’ krono in my crib and I’m droppin’ like it’s hot..
I HATE being a cyclist sometimes. Motorists cutting you up, beeping at you and shouting “Get out the fucking way!” And i wouldnt have to use the M8 if I had the crankbrothers post i could hit the hills
Because i wont one. Find me a better reason!
Put simply, so I can turn my hardtail into a belter all rounder and beat my mates round the local loop.
Having almost finished my bike build project, I now realise having seen this competition that it is going to be “uglier than a bag of mashed up arseholes!” without a bling seatpost. Can you help? ( with thanks to Rob Warner, long may he commentate!)
Because I would ride more!
Let me tell you a story. This is an old story, one about a tortoise and a hare, who decide to have a race. Except this race is not the usual flat race that tortoises and hares tend to have, this is one down a mountain. The hare decided to put his saddle down at the start of the race, so he could enjoy and go faster on the downhills, and then stop and put his saddle up for the uphill section whereas the tortoise elected to leave his in the anally penetrative position, so as to save this time. And so, they both set off at the same time. The hare flew down the hill, throwing in style in abundance; everybody watching enjoyed this and wished on the hare to win. However, at the start of the pedalling section, the hare had trouble getting the quick release on his seatpost up, and the rabbit, after a slow and uninspiring descent, simply pedalled past the hare for the win.
And the moral of the story? Give me a dropper post so I can beat them both!
To be truthfull I would love to own one of these just to see thelookon my mates face as he is so competative in getting the latest tag out there knowing I don’t have the coin to buy something as spec as this
and that to me would be brucey
Simples..Because my ass deserves the best! =)
Because since I don’t live in the UK (and am all torn up about it), having one of these would somewhat help make my life a little less boring and more awesome.
Okay, competition is closed, no more comments please! I’ll have a read through them all at the weekend (see the exciting life I live?) and let you know the winner on Monday.
I would like this post to give to my wife. She refers to my Joplin as my “million pound seat post” so I’d like her to have one so she understands just how great they are and that it’s not a waste if money.
@Alex – where did the rabbit come from, & what happened to the tortoise…?
Who won?
who? who? who?
A chap called Stephen and a girl called Kara, I’ll post up a photo when they get their droppers. Thanks to everybody who entered, some golden comments right there!
What Stephen? Can’t see any above.
What Stephen? Can’t see any above.
The guy with two young twins who wanted it for his wife as a thankyou.
I’ll subscribe to “Mother and Baby” instead of Dirt when my subscription is over. And even two free Lezyne pumps won’t change it this time.
lol mother and baby for the win wish i hit on a top scam like that )
Gratz to the winners btw.
but i have to post this just for kicks
Crank Brothers new advert
Love your wife ?
got 2 kids ?
then buy a kronolog
why ?
Because she’s worth it
Sorry just a little fun . gratz again winners
