Date Reviewed: March 1, 2008 | | Favorite Trail: | Tsali | | Duration Product Used: | 2 Years | | Purchased At: | CBC | | Strengths: | Nothing is outstanding in the category. | | Weaknesses: | The clamp. I have tightened it several times and it still slips when I take a big drop, causing my saddle to point up; into my groin. | | Similar Products Used: | Thomson Elite | | Bike Setup: | Gary Fisher Ziggurat 06 Mostly stock. | | Bottom Line: | I have not had it slip in a few rides, but I haven't done anything major(mostly smooth XC) in a while. Avoid it. It's a poor design. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

VERY DANGEROUS post.

Very Dangerous! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: September 10, 2006 | | Duration Product Used: | Tested or demo'ed only | | Purchased At: | Demo | | Strengths: | Looks | | Weaknesses: | It failed (Mechanical caused several broken bones) | | Similar Products Used: | Thomson, Alien post, bunch of OEM junk | | Bike Setup: | GF Rig Rigid (Demo bike) | | Bottom Line: | It did its job of holding the seat over paved and gravel trail, but first 12" drop the seat detached from the post bouncing me up off the demo bike and landed square on my chest on the now naked post. Broke a few ribs in the process. I'm not a heavy weight and consider myself a fairly decent rider this failure was due to the poor design of the head locking in the rails. I checked it after the fact and after I could stand once again. The bolt was tight and every thing was toqrued down as it should of been. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
