from dorset, vermont, usa Date Reviewed: February 19, 2012 Strengths: awesome travel when works, good/easy remote, stable Weaknesses: cartridge fails often within one year- seat will not stay up, very poor customer service (do not answer phone, emails with unhelpful/delayed responses), rather than fixing their product failure they thus far have given me the run around- huge hassle for a know defect in the product- should just be fixed no questions asked. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: challengin Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $210.00 Purchased At: pricepoint Similar Products Used: first adjustable seatpost, but friends using gravity dropper, joplin and specialized - all without issue thus far.

from Boise Date Reviewed: December 13, 2011 Strengths: When it works, it's one of the best additions to a bike you can get if you like to rip the downhills. Weaknesses: Suspect reliability? Weight. Limited saddle tilt adjustability. Side to side saddle play out of the box. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $225.00 Purchased At: Universal Cycles Similar Products Used: No other dropper posts used Bike Setup: I've had this on a SC Chameleon, a Yeti 575 and a Niner Jet 9.

from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada Date Reviewed: November 19, 2011 Strengths: Infinite adjustability, no issues with side to side or up & down play. Excellent seals requiring no maintenance thus far. Also, he thing appears to be bomb proof. I have bent the rails on two seats, once upward (you don't want to know about the bruising on that one!) and thus far it has no play or other issues. Weaknesses: From the get go it often needed a bump with my butt to get it to lift back up, but an inexpensive service at the LBS (a lighter lube & more pressure in air chamber) has taken care of that. One other annoyance is the seat rail system which seems prone to letting the saddle move a bit... This likely contributed to me bending a set of seat rails down because the saddle had slipped back.

from Atlanta, GA Date Reviewed: October 28, 2010 Strengths: Tons of adjustability on-the-fly. 5 inch range to play with. Not locked into a certain number of preset positions. Minimal play (not noticeable when in the saddle). Remote does not have long lever like buttons on it waiting to get ripped off in a crash. Weaknesses: Small clamp used to effectively set the cable length on the remote cable came loose and uses a 1.5 mm bold to secure it. I am wondering how this critical component is going to hold up over the long term. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: of Tears Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $220.00 Purchased At: PricePoint Similar Products Used: Sat on a couple of Joplins but hear bad things about them. Bike Setup: 2009 Heckler, Pushed DHX 5.0, Pushed Float RLC 140 QR15, XT (10 spd) all around. FSA carbon bars, Avid Elixir CR (203 fr & rear), WTB Vigo Team Carbon, Intense EX2 DC EX (2.5 X 2), Syncros D28 rims with XT hubs, Crank Brothers Acid 2, Alligator i-Link shifter housings, Specialized lock on grips, KS i900-r post, Thomson stem and seat clamp. Chris King 1 1/8 no threadset.

The locking bolt comes loose quite often, the remote trigger mount is ghetto, and the seatpost won't stay down after only 6 months of use! Offset mount is annoying.
