Date Reviewed: July 27, 2008 | | Favorite Trail: | Buffalo Creek | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Price Paid: |
$120.00 | | Purchased At: | BestBuy Bikes(web) | | Strengths: | Light, no off-set, dampens vibration, matches my shoes | | Weaknesses: | None | | Similar Products Used: | Thompson | | Bike Setup: | '07/08 Titus Racer X Carbon -- Fox, XTR, Raceface, Avid, Easton, King, Mavic, Kenda, Thompson, WTB, ODI, Salsa | | Bottom Line: | I have used Thompson posts for 8 years (over 10,000 miles -- 7,200 on my last one!) and decided to roll the dice, as it were, and go with this one. I have heard of some failures but after 700 miles and one horrific crash (broke the frame in 3 places) all is well.
I have not heard a single peep or squeek out of the post/saddle interface.
After using a Thompson, THE absolute bombproof post of all time -- I expect nothing less than perfection.
A couple caveats about this seatpost that may relate to those failures --
The seat tube edge must be TOTALLY smooth -- or else you will get scoring, which will weaken the post.
When pulling or inserting the post in the seat tube, you MUST NOT TWIST IT BACK AND FORTH -- or said same will occur.
Lastly, you MUST use a torque wrench when tightening the bolts on the saddle clamp. It's carbon -- duh!
I can't help but wonder about all this when people have a failure.
As my former boss and good friend Jim "Jimbo" Deines always says -- "A tool is only as good as the nut on the OTHER end of the handle." ;0)
As to the price, yes, I got this NEW for $120. I was so incredulous I made the poor guy go to the warehouse, bring it to the phone, pull it out, read to me what it said on the post, then, finally -- weigh it!
He was a very good sport, I must say -- I think he got a kick out of the whole affair.
I just could not BELIEVE it was going for almost 1/2 price!!
So, shop around, my friends...
Happy trails!

Date Reviewed: May 8, 2008 | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Strengths: | Light weight, strong, beautiful | | Weaknesses: | Spendy | | Bike Setup: | Ibis Mojo SL | | Bottom Line: | Easton's excellent reputation for carbon bars is well represented in this seatpost. It's a great blend of strength and light weight. Clamp mechanism works as it should. Only complaint is that the rear side of the post itself has a flat face with markings to help with height adjustment. The problem is that water sprayed under the saddle from washing can run down the seatpost and into the frame in the small gap between the flat face and the seat clamp. I was surprised when water shot out of that gap when I turned my bike upside down after a couple of washes. Only 4 chilis for value because of high price. People will pay top dollar for the best though, won't they? | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
