I've been lusting after Maverick's "Speedball" adjustable seatpost. It's an expensive bike accessory, though, at $220 for the basic model (adjust seat height by using a lever underneath the front of the seat) and $250 for the "R" model with remote control on the handlebars. Maverick is currently holding a contest where they're giving away a Speedball R (and a "Moderation" t-shirt). Go here to enter by telling a story of when you could have used a Speedball. They'll do a random drawing of entries sometime in May. |

Contest to win a Maverick Speedball
Speedball R seatpost with remote control
 Speedball R. The remote is our new version, and features a joystick that mounts to your handlebars. Now neither hand has to leave the bars to move the seat. And the cool part is, the joystick can mount on top of the bar, on the bottom, in the middle ... wherever makes sense for your own setup. Plus you can move the joystick in any direction to activate the post. |
