Custom seatpost - what to do??

[James_York]

Hi all. I have a Tifosi Auriga Disc 2018. It has a D-Shaped post. Unfortunetly I need a longer post. My bike is an XL with a 300mm post. I am needing a 400mm. Unfortunetly Chicken Cycles (the distributor/owners of the Tifosi) no longer have stock.

Does anyone have any suggestion on what I might be able to do to make the post longer? Does anyone know of a custom seat post maker??

Thanks.

Aluminium ?

Either way: Get a fabrication company to extend it - in the middle or at the top. Thus retaining the D-shape at the bottom where it inserts into the frame…..

The strength of the post will be designed for the length it is, extending it isn't a good idea.

Please forgive me as I know nothing of carbon frames but I know many frames use a D carbon post. Is there any any standard section ? Even if there is not it could be that one from another make might fit. There are quite a few on the EvilBay.

Would something like this provide a short-term solution?
