from Houston, TX, United States Date Reviewed: April 11, 2006 Strengths: There is no way the clamp could slip. Very light weight. The silver version is adonized with a rough coating so it cannot slip down into the bike. Weaknesses: This is a roadie product. It is difficult to adjust for a problem saddle, because the big, non-slip teeth make this fit like an old standard clamp. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Houston Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $17.00 Purchased At: Airbomb Similar Products Used: Pyramid Seat Post--not as strong tubing, no slipping, easy adjustment, much stronger clamp hardware. Bike Setup: Schwinn Alloy 7 with the Nexus 8 upgrade for more speed.

from UK Date Reviewed: February 15, 2004 Strengths: Very cheap, polished finish & graphics are very high up so don't get scratched when you drop the height. Pretty light, I've read it quoted as 230g-250g on merlincycles.co.uk I have had this post for 8 years, & over 20k miles. First 6 years mostly on roads but I've turned to racing over the last couple years (on a rigid bike on some rough courses too). This post last fantastic till today (the ridges have finally given way). Bolt is poor, but only went today mid-race due to an attempt to overtighten to compensate for working loose. Weaknesses: Doesn't look that great, mostly just because of the branding & no CNC machining. Over the years the finish becomes pitted but autosol usually sorts this for a while. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $20.00 Purchased At: Merlin Cycles Similar Products Used: Mike Burrows aero carbon (road) Bike Setup: Merlin Malt 2, rigid, v.light, XT/LX, 517's

from Durham Date Reviewed: November 21, 2003 Strengths: It came with my bike, which I love. And I verified that it is an "Uno" by reading the word "Uno" printed on the post. Weaknesses: It loosened itself on my third ride. Then twice on my fourth ride. The second time on that ride I cranked it down so hard that I bent the washer. From then on it made a slight creaking noise. My sixth ride it slipped again, so I put some torque on it, and snapped the bolt. Fortunately I was nowhere near the road, and once on the road, I was nowhere near where I parked my truck, so I had a wonderful workout riding the whole way out of the saddle. I got a new bolt and tightened it down, hit the seat with my palm to test its hold, and the threads ripped out of the upper half of the clamp (a strong little bolt, though, eh?). Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: CHHS Duration Product Used: 3 months Purchased At: Stock with bike Similar Products Used: Just the post on my road bike, which never did this, but that is not so odd. Bike Setup: Stock Ibex Trophy 770, about which I love everything except this post.
