from USA Date Reviewed: October 3, 2010 Strengths: Lasted for 7 years, original equip on SC superlight. Weaknesses: Bolt sheared after 7 seasons, new bolt sheared again 4 weeks later, on the 1st ride after a 40 mi race. After reading the reviews of all the sheared bolts, I decided to get a new post. Found a Ritchey WCS alloy on sale at Performance. I'm lucky that I didn't get injured on either of those bolts breaking.

from UK Date Reviewed: September 1, 2005 Strengths: Looks good... Weaknesses: Its strength. Its an ok XC post, but anything more and you'll brake it. I had one bad landing after a jump and it went. To be fair though I did still have the seat in a XC postion and should have lowered it. That said I thought it'd ;ast longer. If I paid for it, I'd not be very happy.
