| | Bottom Line: | The clamp is very strong and holds the saddle very securely. I've actually forgotten it's there because it works so well and have yet to have any issues. Nice upgrade from my stock OEM seat post and it's carbon fibre. You cannot go wrong....... | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$100.00 | | Purchased At: | Bicycle Outfitter | | Strengths: | It is pretty to look at. | | Weaknesses: | The seatpost binder does not hold the saddle no matter how much you torque the bolt. Hit a bump, your seat will come nose up to 45 degrees and wack you in a very bad spot. Had a friend buy the same seatpost on same bike, same problem... | | Similar Products Used: | Easton, Thomson | | Bike Setup: | Gary Fisher Superfly | | Bottom Line: | Do not buy it unless you like getting hit in your most special place... | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: June 24, 2007 | | Favorite Trail: | Sea Otter | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Strengths: | - very light
- strong
- looks great
- durable
- reliable | | Weaknesses: | - the seat POST has a little problem staying in place
- pricey | | Bike Setup: | SWD Crazy 8 | | Bottom Line: | People always look at me weird when they see my seatpost / seat set up. Because, frankly, they belong on a roadbike. I race downhill, but light weight is very important to me. Since only a few dh races require you to sit down and pedal for an extended period of time (fontana, sea otter), a roadbike set up sounded like a good idea to save weight without any risk.
I have had this seatpost for almost a year and it has held up great. The carbon-fiber post has stayed strong and the clamp never budges. It looks really good and saves a ton of weight compared to other seatposts. For the type of riding I do, it has done perfectly and I would recommend it to any downhiller looking to save some weight. I know they are pricey, I just got lucky and took it from my dad ><
Get one if you have the funds and the need to save some weight!! | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
