Thomson has generously supported me this year with seatposts and stems. As I have said before, Thomson products are the best on the market because of their light weight, strength, durability, and adjustablility. Thomson is based out of Macon, Georgia and their commitment of excellence and customer service is unparalleled. The seatposts are lighter than many carbon posts but have much more strength and reliability. The secret to the light weight of the posts is that they are reinforced only at the areas of stress, the front and back of the post. The two-bolt clamping system is easy to adjust and never slips, something especially important for the demands of cyclocross. Another thing that makes Thomson Masterpiece posts the best for cross is the texture of the post. Thousands of tiny rings are machined into the aluminum to create friction in the frame so the post never slips down! I am using both the Elite X4 and X2 stems this year and they are both working great. The X4 stem has four bolts and the X2 has two. The stems are super stiff and perfect for pulling on the bars while out of the saddle. All Thomson products are available in a wide variety of sizes and are entirely made in the USA.
