Hi, guys.
It is compatible Becker carbon or speedneedle at Bont. XXX lite(34.0mm)?
Do you have some recommendation for 34.0mm seatpost?
I want to keep my Becker saddle!
Thanks!

Hi, lasica
have my same problem ...
I would buy a frame Trek Topfuel 9.9 and having the 34mm seatpost Bontrager XXXLite. I'm looking for a way to mount my SpeedNeedle.
I do not want to change the saddle because I go very well. Who can help?
Thanks

Anybody? Im afraid that the holes of the lower clamp are too small and the edges bite into the carbon rails of the saddle causing some damage.
I did some research and the seatpost is same as Woodman Carbo EL.

I mailed 3T customer service about this and got an answer three hours later:
"The DORIC and DORICO posts can handle both round and all popolar oval shape rails."
So...probably then?

Anybody knows whether the speedneedle fits on a cannondale/use carbon seatpost? That special type which allows bending aft and forward. A selle italia slr carbon does not fit by the way. Or shall I just use a longer bolt for the 1 bolt clamping system ?
