FSA K-Force Lite Carbon Seatpost Seatpost
Product DescriptionThe FSA K-Force Lite seatpost has a gorgeous monocoque carbon design combined with the infinite adjustability of a two-bolt clamp. It comes with chro-moly and stainless steel hardware to ensure long-term durability. It's offered in a 350mm length with a variety of widths, and most interesting it's offered in 3 different setback options. One option is zero setback, with the head mounted directly on top of the post. Another is 25mm of setback -- more or less identical to what you get out of a Campagnolo Record Carbon post, an Easton post, or a Ritchey seatpost. For those of you who need loads of setback there's also a 32.5mm setback option. This is a full 8mm more than any other post on the market. FSA updated the graphics on this post midway through the year. These are reflected in the image shown and on the post you will receive. Available in 27.2mm and 31.6mm diameters. The actual weight of the FSA K-Force Lite Seatpost: 27.2 x 350mm is 235g. 31.6 x 350 is 227g.

from Fort Woth, TX Date Reviewed: May 28, 2006 Strengths: Flexible - carbon post dampens bumps for my 200 lbs of body and gear. Beautiful design lines and colors. Good design of saddle clamp area. Saddle clamp bolt usually breaks before seat post. Weaknesses: Post will slip down the tube with recommended seap post clamp torque under heavy 200# load. Solution 1, tighten seat clamp bolt leading to the crushing of the post and premature fracture. Solution 2, add some sort of stick'em to the post to prevent sliding down. Saddle clamp bolt will usually break before the seatpost.
