Around the shop, we call it “The Sweetpost”. Kent has designed a simple, elegant and strong seatpost using the superior strength of titanium, all while keeping it light (sub 175 g at 250 mm). Simple hardware, clean lines and your choice of colors makes this post an easy addition to any frame. The best part about it is the side access hardware, blood never goes to your head trying to change or adjust a saddle.
I have been testing the Eriksen Sweetpost on and off for almost a year now, and it has one of the most innovative clamp adjustment systems I have ever used. It is not only simple, but it makes adjusts and saddles swapping a 10-30 second ordeal. In addition, it is made of the most wonderful material for bicycles, titanium. Ahh, the exquisite silky smooth titanium, drool! Continue reading →
This is the greatest seatpost I have ever owned! I bought this from a friend that had several sweetposts but he didnt have any bikes for a 30.9mm. When I first bought my Giant XTC 1 with the BS Giant branded products, I was consistently getting lower back pains shortly into the rides. I was told that the sweetpost would help with that problem and boy has it. It dampens all trail vibrations and almost makes it feel like your hardtail is a full suspension bike. I was also reluctant to purchase the straight (rather than layback) sweetpost but I have had no problems and would go with a straight again in a heartbeat. Bottom Line - if you have any type of back problems and fit is not fixing the problem, try going with a Titanium sweetpost, you will not be disappointed. The value rating of four would most likely apply to all Ti seatposts as I feel that they are grossly overpriced but like I said, it has been worth it.
