Seat post system

[helston90]

I had a bike fit today which didn't exactly go according to plan, turns out my bike is the wrong size for me- too small- and the fitter wanted the saddle to be higher than the limit line. This therefore meant the whole fit had to go on hold until this was sorted.

Looking around one that may have the length is the Gusset Lofty however the "2-bolt micro-adjust cradle system" looks different from my single bolt post that came with the bike.

Are they just poor pictures of near enough the same thing? Am I going to have any issues with the Gusset one and my standard saddle rails/ adjust-ability?

I don't have any experience of that particular post, but in general 2 bolt systems work as well if not better than single bolt systems IME. They tend to be a little easier to precisely adjust the angle of the saddle.

May be worth a look at MTB seat posts, as these often come in lengths up to 420mm
