Any suspension seatposts that don't wear out?

I called Cane Creek for into because i really want this LT to replace the Suntour NCX ( will put that on my lady's bike when i build it )

The LT model requires an additional 100mm of seat raise vs a usual seat post. That's a hair over 4 inches. So consider that.

Dude says there's a little wiggle room in the weight limit. I'm 251lbs currently ( and losing ) and the weight limit is 250lbs.

My ST, which was purchased before Thudbuster was purchased by Cane Creek, has never had any maintenance and after 20 or so years still functions perfectly (AFAICT).

That is SO impressive, well worth the money.

I was wondering about the height too.
On the website it says:

Extension	Minimum – 146mm Maximum – 290mm for 27.2, 320mm for 30.9 +31.6

So I thought minimum seat(post) height is 146mm?

Ah that's the insertable seatpost height, and those figures are pretty normal.

The additional 100mm of raise you get from the suspension mechanism is what you have to worry about on some bikes.

Maybe I explained it wrong, but I think I meant the same thing as you.

ST version as example here, but I would need to know this minimum distance:

Ah i get it.
I think the minimum distance would be based on where the suspension part ends and the tube begins though.
Or at least this is the case with other suspension seatposts.
