I ran into the same problem with seatpost angle.
Angle is fine for true downhill applications (steep terrain).
But on more tame shallower runs saddle will be nose in the air.
I eventually got a FSA SLK seatpost and put these z-race style lightweight yokes onto it...
There are some on aliexpress:

They may be fake, I don't know. Possibly. Probably.
I got some anyway.
I'll admit. I cheated and read up to page 4. Then went backwards from page 19.
And having seen you started out with a bike that had tri spokes and gold stanchions,
YES I ACTUALLY THOUGHT THIS WAS YOUR FULL SIZE 1:1 BIKE!🤭😅
And it was only when I saw that the surface texture on that last zoomed...
In other news,
The spokes came loose on the rear so I have do retension/retrue the rear wheel.🤕
So that was a total bummer, but better to find out now than at the start (or in the middle) of a downhill run holiday I suppose.
I would have taken spare wheels in any case though...
That's why it's...
Well pretty much the last few upgrades.
I got a nicer carbon seatpost and upgraded some bits with z-race yokes so now this post works at an extreme angle.
The current seatpost/saddle combination now weighs in at a respectable 460 grams, so dropped about 140 grams right there.🤠
Then, what I've...
