from Gold Coast Date Reviewed: February 27, 2008 Strengths: None Weaknesses: The seatpost! Absolute crap. For 2 months, every time i'd move the post would creak. I tightened it, un-tightened it. Then eventually figured it was the design. The bottom plate would slip in the grooves. Slowly over time they've worn down and now they just constantly slip and creak, annoying me contsantly Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Nerang Duration Product Used: 1 Year Purchased At: LBS Similar Products Used: carbon giant and generic posts.

from Australia Date Reviewed: October 22, 2007 Strengths: Looks ok. Weaknesses: It doesn't matter how i set this post up, the bolts snap in a matter of hours of riding. The first lasted a year but I've snapped five bolts in my last 6 rides. I've even used high tensile bolts that broke in the first half hour of riding. Very poor design.

from Duluth, MN Date Reviewed: August 31, 2007 Strengths: The post looks OK in stealth black. Weaknesses: In my experience, no matter how much you tighten the single seat clamp bolt, the seat will more than likely move on you if you come down on it hard. It has done this three times on me now; Twice during trail rides, once on the road. I am 220 lbs.
