Looking for some input on suspension seat posts for the Great Divide.  I scored a Trek titanium seatpost, and might stick with that- haven't tried it yet on any dirt roads, but it seems to absorb the chatter on crappy pavement.  I'm considering the Thudbuster ST but am curious if others have had any success with seat posts like the Kalloy Guizzo seat posts- lighter, cheaper and more streamlined.  I don't have much clearance above my seatpost bag and am 125 lbs, so smaller travel is preferable.  It also seems like it would be hard to attach a seatpost bag to any of these suckers, so if you've got a picture, that'd be cool too.  Thanks!! thumbsup

Revelate sells a longer velcro strap that allows you to secure their seat bags on the thudbuster. I use the ST with a Revelate terrapin and it works very well.

Using a USE Vybe with no issues with either Revelate bag or Wildcat harness. You also don't get the backwards movement that the TB gives you - screwed up my knees to no end.

Same. The TB ST made a noticeable difference on my Fargo when the going gets rough. A little on the heavy side, but on long rough rides it's worth it. Combine it with a Brooks saddle and it's downright decadent.
