Got my seat post shock absorber. What a BIG difference! So comfortable for minimal to long distance rides. In addition to this I also bought a memory foam sit as well. Thank you for your recommendation.👍
will a 30.9 fit i cant find a 28.6 any where not even in a local shop here in LA. only 27 and 30, even amazon doesn't carry 28.6. hopefully you see this. i saw your video and with out watching the whole video i ordered a 25.4 and had to order a shim but it still didnt feel right to me.
I just bought that shock absorber that you recommended on Amazon I just clicked the link to it and it took me right to it but it's the wrong size what is the right size for the Justin Bolt
Sorry Joanna, I only have the Bolt Pro, so I cannot measure it. They are sold in metric sizes. Do you know anyone who has metric calipers. They could measure the diameter for you. Home Depot has a cheap set if you cannot find any. Or ask your local mechanic to measure it for you
@@JoediyLab I had rewatched the video and I found out you did say 28.6 mm what they send me was a 30 mm so I reordered. And yes I do have the same bike. Thank you for replying back.
Great video. Quick question. How long is the stock seat post in comparison to the 350mm suspension seat post? I installed a 450mm extended seat post on mine to get better leg extension since stock was too short (5'9"). Wondering if the 350mm suspension seat post is long enough.
Im watching your video in hope to find the answer. Im getting pain on the neck and shoulder after on long ride on the bolt pro.. i tried increasing the the seat height by couple of inches but it didn't fix the neck shoulder pain issue.. i tried to lower the seat.. same issue.. could it be the handle bar that is set too far from the seat? Too close maybe? I can't pin point why the bolt is not comfortable.. im not getting any pain on my main normal bicycle..maybe a video on how to make the bold more comfortable .
@@JoediyLab i ordered longer handle bar i believe 60cm vs the 50cm for the factory one.. once i get it i will do the switch.. i think a longer handle bar will be more natural and better control aswell.. we'll see..

@@JoediyLab I wrote Jetson’s Production Team because I wanted to raise the seat at most 3 inches. They said it would be confirmed that the post would too long and could get stuck inside the frame of the bike. The advice was to stick with the 28 mm diameter, which I thought yours was.

We just bought two of these bikes for Father’s Day gifts to each other. I am now looking at this suspension seat post on Amazon through your link. The reviews are good, but a lot of them say that you can’t really feel the suspension and they really only work well on large bumps like off road and they feel no difference on the street just riding around town. Do you have an update on this post after you’ve used it for a while. Does it absorb well on the street just riding around town on regular streets? That’s really what we need it for.
@@JoediyLab ok, that’s good to k ow, my husband is 212 and was wondering how it would work with his weight. I knew you can adjust the stiffness, I was thinking the people saying it was no different than a regular post may not have known that the suspension is adjustable or didn’t tweak it and dial it on to their comfort. Thanks, I think I’ll buy a couple of them before Prime Day is over!
Yes, depending on what type of connector you want to use. I choose the connector as I use it for several different configurations, that way I can convert for other testing situations.
Hey Frank, great question, Yes, I will be doing a video on how to replace the Jetson battery. I will also put together a video on how to extend an external battery back to the Jetson.
Yo, Jo! Thank you very much for the wonderful videos! Could you please tell me what is the maximum weight that this seat post will handle effectively without being permanently bottomed out during riding! Will it handle 250 to 270 pounds of weight? Personally I think anyone selling suspension seat posts, should always, put this range of weight support information, in every one of their advertisements! I’m a graphic artist/advertising artist and I have never seen any information on any of these damn seat post ads, regarding the range of weight which they supposedly support! People definitely want to know what the weight range is, ALWAYS, what will each seatpost support/hold from, comfortably, with full functional capabilities, from the weakest setting to the strongest setting? Why don’t they post this informatio!n? Nobody wants to buy the thing and send it back because it doesn’t support their weight properly! When this information is neglected it always makes for a massive headache for someone that has to send it back!
Ryan, There is no weight limits on the amazon ad. In the feed back I have see comments from riders that indicate they have had no issues when their weight is 235 -250. When I tested the seat post I still had adjustment left and at the time my no clothes weight was 225. You should be fine. You can always return the seat post if it does not work out
@@JoediyLab Hi Joe, Ryan here, thank you very much for the info! Hi, definitely appreciate your getting back to me so soon! I, read some of this elsewhere also, but I just wanted to hear it straight from you, and your own, personal, opinion and thoughts on this! As per your informing me on this particular seat post, I have placed an order for one! 28.6 mm x 350 mm! Apparently, it’s going to be a bit of time to get this thing! Lately a lot of my Amazon packages are coming from China, and many of them, get delayed! Damn this bloody COVID CRAP,!, it, screws up many deliveries all the time! Have a great day man! Keep up the great work with your videos I’ve watched several of them so far! Very thankful to have guys like you on here doing this type of stuff, so that guys like me can learn a thing or two! I just recently ordered my Jetson, at Christmas time, from Costco and I am unable to ride it until spring time! I can hardly wait till that time gets here! Right now I live in a 55+ seniors building, and the longest rides I can take it on are, up and down my floor’s, hallway, and laps around, our common room, late in the middle of the night, when no one else is around! LOL! I’m already, loving this gem, and am having a blast! Take care man! HAPPY BOLTING!

The new post is 350mm or 450mm? You said 350mm but appears bigger then stock. I bent my old post and need a replacement
either 350mm or 450mm for the length. Make sure you get the correct diameter post.
So for a heavier person and to run the screw inwards towards the shock, which direction do you turn the Allen wrench?
Hi, just like tightening a screw, clockwise, Thanks for the question.
What was the actual seat shock absorber size did you use on the jetson bolt pro.
28.6 x 350mm Gannoper brand on amazon is where i bought mine
What other tool can I use besides the 13mm socket?
13 mm box end or open end wrench. Try an adjustable jaw wrench. But that might be too big.
The amazon link shows 3 sizes. Which size is the regular size that came with the bike?
Did you watch the video? It says right in the video. 28.6 mm

Does this really help with the bumps or make much difference?
I can tell a difference. Not as good as say, motorcycle shocks, but it is better than no shocks.

small curbs is fine from the sidewalk maybe not. I am 220 as well.
