Bottom Line:
This is a very good post. No creaks no problems at all. I have really given it some stick and it has been no trouble. The clamp is spot, has a sensible 2 bolt arrangement (which always makes me feel better) and it is easy to install and adjustable. The price is so low for a post like this can't believe it. Nice finish. Been looking to get another one for my other bike but can't find them anywhere.

Reasonable weight and well made. Plenty strong enough to take abuse. Very good saddle clamp design that's easy to use and stays in place. Post feels solid. good V.F.M
Weaknesses:
None
Bottom Line:
Very good post. Looks good and stays where its put. Solid clamp design with 2 bolts means that saddle fitting is fine and the clamp holds the saddle in place.... kind of fit and forget. Post fits to the size and does not slip down once in the bike frame. Good price and good post.

Well made...really well thought through design finish and clamp. Gives confidence and it's fit and forget...it's so cheap too.
Weaknesses:
None
Bottom Line:
Got to agree with all that has been said in praise of this seatpost. I searched high and low for a quality, light and sensible post. Read the consumer reports on the super light posts and they all had a problem, the same with carbon fibre (and I hade an Easton EC90 carbon post which fractured on me on the trail once) so I was looking for a post with a "proper" clamp....one that works and doesn't need you to require a degree in engineering to fit a saddle to. Also a post finish that means no slippage in the frame and accurate machining to ensure that the tolerances are correct. This post has all fo that. I would have bought this post if it had cost £80, but at the price I have paid...like they say it is amazing value. By the way.....it looks Very good too!!

Bottom Line:
Great seatpost. Price is real and so is the post. No flimsy low weight with the problems of a "bonded" clamp assemply, this post is the perfect mix of light enough for cross country but tough enough for freeride. Most riders cover a bit of all kinds of terrain and I can ride with this post...no creaks ...no worry noises...knowing that the clamp will not slip, nor will the post and the clamp bolts will not snap. Great seatpost.

Good quality and the clamp is easy and effective. Weight is good. Fantastic value for money.
As soon as I fitted this seatpost I knew that it is a really good quality item. I guess that if you are going to bring a seatpost today in the present market place then it has got to be very good and this one is, basically it should sell for much more than it does and that would be right. At this price it is awesome! Decent weight and finish make this a winner.

Excellent seatpost....a really good quality item at a great price. The clamp is Excellent as is the ability of the post to stay in position. Build quality is not stupidly light (but light enough) so the post is unlikely to crack and also the top and clamp area is not bonded but solid ...another favourite place that cracks on some posts!
