25.0mm seatposts ,strong enough?

[dyna-ti]

Are they strong as in strong enough for a 12 stone + kit to use over the bumpy stuff?
Im thinking of changing for a nice ano one,so to protect the ano i would prefer to use a USE thermoplastic shim and as the frame takes 27.2 i thought i'd go for 25.0 in a 27.2 plastic shim.
Or is it to be used by lightweight types :?

I'm 14st and use USE's regularly - never had a problem myself.

25mm posts have been used in road bikes for years and years and then some. Plus BMX too.

It will be fine.

Never seen one snap at the post. Clamps I've seen fail, but only one at a time.

USE posts are a bit of a pain to setup but once on, the only problem I ever had was slipping. Some people seem to get that, others dont. I must have a fat ass

Unusual to have 300mm of showing post on a roadie or bmx.i ride small frame long post,so with such a length i would be concerned about it snapping
Thats all

I am 95 kgs and use a 25.0 use on one of my bikes, and a 25.0 cheapie on my Alan roadbike, all fine. And they were still fine when I was 110 kgs...
