Strengths:    Looks good? relatively light

Weaknesses:    Hardest post to adjust I have ever experienced. It will only really grab the saddle rails after an absurd amount of pressure is put on the bolt. In fact I thought it was defective when I was first trying it. When the bolt started to get tight there was still a ways to go for a good clamping. Hope the bolt doesn´t break. Stupid design for the clamp, stupid hex key. Tilt adjust is very hard (sticky!) unless you loosen the bolt alot and then the seat falls off!!

Bottom Line:   
I´m considering returning this POS seatpost. Pay a little more and get a thomson!

Strengths:    looks good and reasonable weight...however...

Weaknesses:    ...it fails one of the fundamental requirements of a seatpost - the ability to clamp the seat securely!

Even if you do the security bolt (which is stupid in itself, unless you ride a MTB in NYC for some reason...what's wrong with a nice simple allen key bolt for frigs sake) up beyond the recommended tension, the inherently silly clamp design means that the seat creaks and slips...usually at fairly inconvenient moments!


Bottom Line:   
Lucky to get one chili as it's not even a functional seatpost...and not sure what else you might use an expensive bit of aluminium tubing for...
