Cane Creek introduces more travel to the eeSilk lineup with the eeSilk+. With 35mm of travel, the eeSilk+ is a suspension seatpost designed to noticeably soften any gravel or mixed-surface road. Like our 20mm travel suspension seatpost, eeSilk, the eeSilk+ comes in both alloy and carbon, 27.2 and 31.6 mm options.
The new eeSilk+ and eeSilk+ Carbon are performance suspension seatposts designed to add comfort and compliance to any bike without adding unnecessary weight. These posts make great enhancements to long gravel rides by reducing chatter transmitted from the surface to the rider and can be tuned to rider weight through a simple external elastomer change.
The new eeSilk+ features stainless steel hardware and weighs less than 381g for the alloy post and less than 335g for the carbon post. eeSilk+ comes with an increased seatpost length of 387mm and eeSilk+ Carbon comes with a length of 362mm. The eeSilk+ Carbon comes with the same titanium hardware and custom titanium thumbwheel as the eeSilk Carbon.
Like its shorter travel sister, eeSilk+ comes with 300-series stainless steel axles and IGUS bushings that sit within the Seatpost head and cradle to make for a more serviceable and quiet pivot design.

I recently took my dated and tired old racing bike along to Leeli Cycles for some much needed work. I was cheerfully greeted by Ben the very friendly owner and number one mechanic. He suggested a full service and looked over the bike to access the condition of the other cycle components. A very comprehensive quote was later emailed to me listing all the parts that Ben would require to complete the job. He phoned me as soon as my bike was ready and I hurried along to pick it up. My first reaction was, wow! It looked as good as new and fully roadworthy again. Ben had done an incredible job in transforming my old racer back to its former glory! I'm very pleased to have used Leeli Cycles along with Ben's wealth of mechanical knowledge, sound advice and attention to detail. Even happier still to support this amazing small local business offering great value and excellent customer service. An outstanding shop in every way for all your cycling needs with the personal touch. Pop in and see for yourself. I guarantee you won't be dissapointed.
