One post said you will need 6" of seat post exposed , does this mean Thudbuster seat post of the seat tub on the bike exposed above the frame.

If you look at the picture of the product, you can see that the suspension part of the seat post will not slide into the seat tube of your frame. Most normal seat posts will be able to slide most of the way into the seat tube, allowing the saddle to be positioned lower on the bike. The thudbuster sticks out about 6" from the bike at its lowest position.

It is saying that the part where the shock begins to the height you sit at is 6 inches. You do not have to have six inches of the post showing prior to the start of the shock.

It means that the distance from the seat clamp at the top of the thudbuster to the bottom pivit of the suspension mechanism is about 6". You just have to make sure your frame can accomodate the extra height of the suspension.

I fully agree with this statement. I purchased this bike for the frame, fork, seat post, stem. I have had to upgrade the crankset, handlebars, seats, tires, tubes, peddles. They are not of quality. I now have to upgrade the bottom bracket as the bearings just shattered.

You should not have to...I took my old seat off and used the same hardware to put the new one on.Of course, you will want to take a picture of how the seat is attached to the post and a close up on how theparts go together to hold the seat in place. (I wish I had done a better job taking the parts off and remembering how they were on the seat!) Easier idea, bring it to your local bike shop, just the post and seat, they will haveit on within minutes!Enjoy the ride.....

Absolutely, however, you are going to need a new seat. This seat will work your rear end over if you are on the heavy side. One other person commented on this and they are absolutely correct. You will enjoy this bike though, so go get it!

No im almost certain it will not fit it under it is made to attack to a bicycle seat

Because the bike has a slanting top-tube and seat post. Most built this way will not list a frame size.

It will. I had to do some trimming around the rear subframe, under the seat, though. It's not visible once the bike is all put back together

I would think not, not with that center post. Plus the wheel holders are too close together and can not be spread further apart to accommodate the wheel base of the bike you're referring.

it is measured from the tubing on the seat of the bike. Either way, your product are small in diamenters either on the top or from the bottom. I needed to install shims in order to fit a size too small tubing and on the top I had to tie the screws on my bike seat as tie as I can. However, the seat is still sway about 1 degree side by side. In short, it is a bad product!!!

I do but i clamp the top tube instead of the seat post. (Instructions say to clamp to tube on every bike) all the other bikes i use the seat tube.

As far as I know it's designed to fit a bike frame with a 300mm hole for the seat post to fit into, so the seat post must be 300mm. The other end fit into the seat bracket that is adjustable...the bike frame socket is not.

Sorry, I have no idea! I'm quite a skinny dude. It seems to be well made, and I suppose as long as it wasn't sticking up too far out of the seatpost tube it would be alright, but I can't promise anything...

Mine's long been installed on the bike so I can't be specific. I can tell you that it's longer than most. 6 feet is probably a fair guess. I burn through one of these a year, but this one seems more sturdy than most and was definitely worth spending a little more on. Good quality.

not sure, but the rack part you can adjust it to be farther back, but not sure if that would put more strain on the seat post.

the basket was quite large but not very deep. the basket was left out of my order, I called and they shipped it separately. In the mean time I took my bike to a bike shop to get assembled they did a great job and I love my bike. When the basket arrived I had my husband try to put it on the bike and it wouldn't fit right without twisting the frame and wheels so I threw the basket away

Hi John, I'm not familiar with your particular model bike. I bought this for my wife's bike after she took a spill and broke her pelvis. As it turned out, I did have to buy a new seat post from a local bike shop (about $25) because her original seat had a different configuration under it. This seat is more of a "normal" attachment, but you would have to make that determination after you get it. You can always return it, but I'm pretty sure your local bike shop can provide you with the right attachment post if you need one.

Most seatposts are 350mm in length, but some longer ones are available, at lengths up to 400mm. You should be careful with longer seatposts, however, as they can stress the frame and possibly cause it to crack.
