Date Reviewed: May 4, 2003 | | Favorite Trail: | Henry Coe state park | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Strengths: | light, seat clamped well | | Weaknesses: | after maybe 150 miles the top of the post came loose. it spins around. | | Similar Products Used: | old stock post that was on my other bike for ten years | | Bike Setup: | karakoram-xt/xtr-mega9,hugi,avid disc,race face,etc. | | Bottom Line: | I am glad that I didn't pay retail(except that I don't have a receipt). I got it new but the top of the seatpost quickly came loose from the seatpost tube. I'm only 180 and it didn't get crashed. Maybe I just got a defective post. For the retail price of these things I hope this doesn't happen often. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$75.00 | | Purchased At: | Cambria | | Strengths: | Looks, Weight, Adjustment, Syncros | | Weaknesses: | Not at this time, the post did slip but only because I greased the frame when I wasn't suppose to. | | Similar Products Used: | MRC Ti, countless tange onlys | | Bike Setup: | Homegrown, XTR(cassette & derailluers), Raceface(BB & cranks), Syncos cattle head stem, Easton CT2 carbon bar, and Ringle (hubs & rims) and finally sram shifers with Time pedals. | | Bottom Line: | The post is great, it is light and does not flex like the titanium posts did. It still absorbs shock as well if not better. Syncro stuff is great, I have alway loved them, never had any of the problems that I have been reading from others. Bottom Line: the post does what it is suppose to do, and in my opinion it does it better than many others out there. Light, good looking, strong, and shock absorbing ....... Can't beat It! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
