Purchased At:	came with my bike
Strengths:	Absorbs shock from bumps
Weaknesses:	makes my seat a little high (i have a light on my post aswell and my seat is lowered the most it can be but with the shock it raises it alot)
Bike Setup:	2002 Norco Sasquatch, Rock Shox on the front, soon to be Blackspire big ring protector (lol alot of stuff)
Bottom Line:	Good post, but if you dont want your seat always very high then this might not be for you.

Favorite Trail:	Dalbeatie
Duration Product Used:	6 months
Purchased At:	Lbs
Weaknesses:	I cannot get this post to move properly. It sticks so much and needs a ton of weight on it to get any sort of movement. Nice post but useless. I am very disappointed
Similar Products Used:	USE XC and XCR.
Bike Setup:	Kona Lava Dome. XT Marzocchi SL, X717 wheels with Deore discs.
Bottom Line:	I also have had to send this post back, via the shop, to the manufacturers. I cannot get any sort of smooth movement or any movement and I am really disappointed. Just to get the point across...when I took this shock post off of the bike...and put a normal "hard" post on...I didn't notice any difference! And that is no exeggeration. There has got to be some manufacturing fault in this batch.

Strengths:	Reasonable weight. Good quality of finish and adjustment.
Weaknesses:	Appauling sticktion. Sticks down.

Bottom Line:	I just could not get rid of the sticking. The post simply would not move up and down freely or smoothly. After 3 months of continually lubing with the recommended silicone lube it started to stick about an inch into its travel and stay there. I have sent it back and got my money back. I've gone back to USE. I have to say that this post has been absolutley dreadful.

Submitted by Big M Lambert a Cross Country Rider from East Coast Canada Date Reviewed: July 27, 2005
Duration Product Used:	2 Years
Price Paid:	$40.00
Purchased At:	eBay
Strengths:	This is for the Bracer: Fairly Light, good adjustability, relieved my back pain and made riding fun again
Weaknesses:	Hard (too long) to get at the internal allen key bolt to take it apart for service, had to go to LBS
Similar Products Used:	My first suspension one, used Titec and Bontrager rigid posts prior
Bike Setup:	K2 Zed Team, XT derailleurs, LX shifters, custom built Syncros disc wheelset, Azonic bar, Truvativ crank, IRC Serac XC rubber, etc.
Bottom Line:	Works damn good! The Bracer model is a bit more expensive at retail but worth the extra money. Great adjustability from hard to soft in one or two turns of the dial at bottom of post. I am at over 180 when riding and after 2 years of 50% real offroad technical stuff mixed with some pavement and RV trails it still works like new. Bravo Post Moderne!

Strengths:	stability, ability to absorb bumps on and off trail, comfort
Weaknesses:	weight
Bike Setup:	trek 6500, rock show suspension seatpost, azonic love seat, ODI intense grips
Bottom Line:	If you do not want to spend $$$ on a full suspension then this is a great product. The seatpost absorbs bumps, holes and everything else effectively. Seems to give me more stamina on long rides. If you are looking for a great product that does not cost an arm and a leg... get this seatpost... Works really well w/ the Azonic love seat.

Submitted by Ron a Weekend Warrior from Ottawa, Canada Date Reviewed: January 5, 2004
Duration Product Used:	3 months
Price Paid:	$35.00
Purchased At:	Fresh Air Experience
Strengths:	Seat clamp centered over post, reduces stiction
Weaknesses:	It's black, I prefer silver components. Needs special tools for routine user service.
Similar Products Used:	Tranz-X JD-415, a friend's Thudbuster
Bike Setup:	Giant Ricon, RST Capa TL fork
Bottom Line:	This review is for the Post Moderne Solace Comp. I have only used the product for three months, and so, I cannot comment on long term reliability. The seatpost is more expensive than many other $30-$40 CDN suspension seatposts. Luckily, I found a sale for $50 CDN, or about $35 USD. Normal price was $85 CDN. At full price this product seems to be in the middle price range. It is not among the least expensive, but not among the most expensive either. It falls about half way between. I bought it because I had a bad experience with a cheap suspension seatpost, and I heard good things about the Post Moderne. I figured to spend a bit more for a better design and more durability. My first observation was that the seatpost is a bit on the heavy side. Being a recreational rider, I opted to save some money by buying the heavier Solace Comp on sale. The alternatives were the lighter more expensive Post Moderne Bracer or the RockShox. One thing that bugs me is the need for a special "extra long shaft" hex key, to take the seatpost apart for regular lubrication servicing. I do not have this tool and have no idea where to get one. Clearly, if I have to buy a special tool, the only use for which is servicing this seatpost, then the tool cost has to be added to the cost of the seatpost, when comparing products. IMHO, this tool should come with the seatpost, since it is necessary for regular maintenance and is not a standard tool that one typically has laying about, like a hammer or screw driver. I am 185lbs plus gear and I find that with zero preload, I get zero sag. This seems strange, since many riders are significantly lighter. I found also, that the ride is noticeably harder in colder weather, presumably due to cold stiff elastomers. However, unlike others who contacted Post Moderne and received new parts to deal with the cold weather, my e-mail to Post Moderne has been ignored, and I have never received any sort of reply. The seat clamp is centered directly over the seatpost shaft, instead of cantilevered behind the shaft. This helps reduce stiction. This arrangement is now being used in many of the better MTB suspension seatposts, like the RockShox. I have not yet encountered any problems with stiction. I find that the seat swivels a bit, but I can live with it. I tightened the adjustment screws to correct this, but the problem soon returned. I may adjust it again if it really starts to annoy me. I ride mostly local dirt roads and rolling XC trails with the occasional roots, holes, and exposed rocks. With 50mm (2 inches) of travel, the Solace Comp smooths out most of the ride fairly well. That's what I wanted. For bigger hits I have to get off the seat, or I'll get bucked off. That seems to be typical of suspension seatposts, and not unique to the Solace Comp. Perhaps the AP-1 is better, since it has more travel and dampening. I do not know if the seatpost bottoms out. I have not perceived this happening. There is no noticeable jarring, indicating that I have exhausted the range of travel, even when I get bucked out of the seat on a big hit. This may have something to do with the Giant seat, which is very comfy. I would recommend this seatpost for recreational riders who are unwilling to spend the big bucks for a Thudbuster, RoxShox, or AP-1. You sacrifice a bit on weight compared to the most expensive, but still get reasonable performance. So, far the Solace Comp has lived up to those expectations.

Submitted by Harry Sharp a Weekend Warrior from UK Date Reviewed: March 24, 2003
Favorite Trail:	Epping Forest
Duration Product Used:	6 months
Price Paid:	$128.00
Purchased At:	Bucks Cycle Centre
Strengths:	Very smooth motion, easy adjust of preload, no lateral movement.
Weaknesses:	None, however, if you allow it to get submerged in water (I did when we got flooded and I tried to cycle through water that was above the handle bars) then the performance drops because the thing gets filled with water. So you have to follow the nice manual on how to completely take the thing apart and rebuild.
Similar Products Used:	None
Bike Setup:	2002 Trek 4400 with upgraded chainset (Shimano Deore) and clipless Shimano M515 and Post Moderne Bracer MTB seatpost.
Bottom Line:	Worth buying if your doing lots of tracks with potholes or some XC riding. It really takes the edge off any bumps with 50mm of travel. Cheaper than paying for a decent full sussie and yet has a good effect.

Price Paid:	$80.00
Strengths:	Works good at first
Weaknesses:	Not very reliable
Bottom Line:	Basically, it works great for a while but may develop problems later on. In my case, I bought the road version which weighs a little less, 320g, and it worked great for about half a year until it developed stiction. Now it wont go up or down unless there's a ton of force. Even with the adjustment dial turned all the way to the softest setting, it does the same thing. So now I have a wonderful 320g $80 static seatpost. Awesome.

Strengths:	Price,performs as advertised,customer support,good clamp
Weaknesses:	Weight (of course it's more than a stiff tube!)
Bike Setup:	KHS Alite 2000 , Easton EA70 risers , stem riser , Post Modern Bracer suspension post , Geax Evolution clinchers ,Performance Body Geometry grips
Bottom Line:	This post works great ,just as advertised. I'm 235LBS and this little jewel sure took the edge off the bumps on my hardtail. I'm writing this about the Bracer ,specifically ,as they (MTBREVIEW) don't have a seperate category for all the posts made by Post Moderne .I have had no problems with the seat clamp design or function and feel it is micro-adjustable . A positive side note -- I too (same as reviewer below) contacted Post Moderne about excessive stiffness especially when cold and was promptly sent free-of-charge an upgrade elastomer kit complete with new pre-load adjuster. Now that is customer service defined !! This thing will not turn your rigid or hardtail into an FS rig but it will soften the blows dealt out by the trail and for a very reasonable price to boot !

Similar Products Used:	Cane Creek Quadrapivot
Bike Setup:	Nothing special, except it has a cool bell on it
Bottom Line:	Recently I replaced my Post Moderne suspension seat post with a Cane Creek Quadrapivot post. What a difference! When I first installed the Post Moderne post I wasn't too impressed to begin with, because it didn't really seem to make much difference. It does go up and down when you push on it, but it doesn't absorb shock very well. The only reason that I kept it was that the original seatpost that came on my bike was so big that I couldn't attach a quick-release rack to it, so I just left the Post Moderne on. I could never get the up/down angle adjusted quite right, either. The adjustment clicks are just a little too big. I used the Post Moderne for about two years and put about 2500 miles on it. Almost all my riding is on city streets, so you may have a different experience with this post if you do more off-road riding. I never had any problems with the post other than that it just didn't do as much shock absorbing as I would have liked it to. I've never tried another pogo-stick type suspension post, but I suspect that the problem with that type of design is that a lot of the jarring that you feel is coming from a different angle than the seat post is designed to dampen. I could be wrong, I'm not an engineer... If you're going to spend $50 - $60 on a seat post, save half of it and buy a good non-suspension post. If you want a good suspension post, just remember that usually you get what you pay for, and this is one of the cheaper models available.

Strengths:	Works as advertised. Inexpensive. Nice finish of the materials.
Weaknesses:	None yet.
Similar Products Used:	Demo'd the Rock Shox model.
Bike Setup:	Ancient, rigid, Parkpre Hammer.
Bottom Line:	I have the PM 1000 model. Supposedly, they have addressed the seat clamp problems, as compared to earlier models, and I'd say they have. I'm a big dude at 250lbs, and usually find weaknesses in almost anything, and so far the seat hasn't slipped, and the suspension moves fluidly. Adjusting the suspension is easy, unless you find operating an allen wrench to be confusing. It looks good with the anodized and polished aluminum parts, and is definately worth the cash to take the edge off a favorite old rigid bike, as I have. Supergo has them for $25, which is cheaper than most crappy rigid posts, and I think it is well worth the cash. We'll just have to see how it holds up in the long run, so I'll hold off with four flaming turds, until I get some serious mileage on it.

Submitted by Brian a Weekend Warrior from Melbourne, Australia Date Reviewed: October 22, 2000
Duration Product Used:	1 Year
Strengths:	I purchased a PM900 post. Once I put in a heavier spring/elastomer, it worked pretty well in terms of shock absorption, and has needed little maintenance. It also has developed very little lateral play.
Weaknesses:	The seat clamp is the biggest problem. My old SDG Comp Bel-Air saddle had small diameter rails, and the clamp just wouldn't hold it at all. In the end I had to make a couple of shims to thicken the rails, and it held OK then. I've now got a Specialized Body Geometry saddle with larger diameter rails. This just about holds, but still slips back occasionally. If they could do something about the clamp, this would be a good post for the money.
Bottom Line:	I don't thrash the bike much, so i can't comment on reports of bending. Mind you, I'm no lightweight at 90kg, and mine hasn't bent in a year of use despite running it pretty high. In terms of shock absorption, the post works well, but the seat clamp needs a major redesign unless you're prepared to make your own shims.

Favorite Trail:	The 40 mile Burke-Gilman; a good warm-up trail
Duration Product Used:	6 months
Strengths:	It's perfect for smaller bumps and smoothing out a ride, especially on a hardtail bike. Has a good 1.5" of travel and can be used for heavy or light riders
Weaknesses:	Hard to adjust correctly. The elastomer is controlled by a bolt underneath the seatpost, so adjusting for your weight is very hard, and doesn't always work.
Bike Setup:	Cromoly frame, touring bike setup, Nexave component groups, Mavic wheels
Bottom Line:	Go for this seatpost if you like a perfect setup but don't mind LOTS of time adjusting before.

Bottom Line:	this seatpost is a great alternative to a full suspention bike. it only has almost an inch of travel so dont expect it to work like a dually. the travel on this is very smooth and you wont feel a thing in the back over small bumps. i find that for uphill biking this works better than some dual sus bike because it helpes keep your rear wheel on the ground for better traction and still gives enough suspention for comfort which will let u last longer. although if tour going back down the hill dont rely on the seet to work. stand up un the bike!

Favorite Trail:	The one behind the mountain in the horizon.
Duration Product Used:	2 Years
Strengths:	It did absorb vibrations and reduced shock over the extremely rough asphalt in my area. Has functioned about 2 years with only fine tuning and no overhauls. Seems like the right post for a commuter bike.
Weaknesses:	Clamp didn't hold seat in place when the seat rails were greased to deaden one of those sounds that drives some people insane. Ugly as sin.
Similar Products Used:	I had a Syncros ti post for the same purpose -- to absorb rear shock. It took away my lower back pain!
Bike Setup:	It's installed on a DB hybrid with upgraded drivetrain and negative rise road stem.
Bottom Line:	It was used in downpours, being pummeled with water from the rear wheel, and didn't need an overhaul. Mine didn't bend. I'm not a Clydesdale. It weighs a ton, but it didn't slow me down. Don't put it on your high-end MTB. It's not that bad, but there's better ones out there. It's good for commuting.

Weaknesses:	Difficulty in getting the seat position to stay put.
Similar Products Used:	None
Bike Setup:	Trek, Indy forks
Bottom Line:	I notice that my problem with keeping the seat in one positon is not unique. The solution is "valve grinding compound". It appears that some of the younger riders have not learned the old trick of adding a pinch of valve grinding compound to increase friction. It is not necessary to torque the bolt until it strips. The problem is friction - so increase that, not the bolt torque. I added a bit of compound to the aluminum surfaces and they now grip like a vise. The same trick can be applied to bar ends that tend to pivot. If you have a screw that has a rounded slot or phillips head, just dip the screwdriver in a bit of valve grinding compound to increase the friction and keep it from slipping out. Its and old trick, but a goodie.

Favorite Trail:	woods in centre of Holland

Strengths:	Satisfying shock-absorbing
Weaknesses:	very poor clamp-adjusting
Bike Setup:	Giant Terrago
Bottom Line:	During my first few rides with the POST MODERNE suspension seatpost, I thought this was it! Absorbing roots and potholes, just perfect. BUT: after some miles I almost cracked my nuts, the seat was wiggling backwards. Despite of using proper tools I didn't manage to get thebold inside the clamp tight enough to keep the seat horizontal. After moving the seat a little more forward, the problem still occurred. After three times adjusting, inspection showed almost 75% stripped threads inside the rotatable clamp. After tightening the clamp for the 6th time, the aluminium threads surrounding the main bold were gone completely, it almost fell out. Back at the bikeshop they repaired the clamp by removing the original bold with a metalsaw and replaced it by a new bold & nut. Getting the clamp tight enough resulted in a bended (new) bold! After a few miles the seat was wiggling backwards a forwards again. Back again to the bikeshop. This time I got a brandnew one. Unfortunately it has the same problem. IT CAN'T BE TIGHTENED ENOUGH TO HOLD MY SEAT HORIZONTALLY. Am I too heavy, too fat? I only weigh a 150 lbs!!! Who can tell me what the best alternative susp seatpost is? PLS LET ME KNOW!!

Bike Setup:	96 STUMPY 9.0SL, LX, XT MANITOU SX 98
Bottom Line:	This is actually a double review. I used the PM-1000 for a year and it bent. I e-mailed the factory and they asked me to mail the post back to Taiwan to analyze. They agreed to send me a year 2000 Bracer ( their new top of the line model for my trouble ) I received the Bracer a few days ago. It is a lot lighter and seems to be built more rugged. I have not tested it yet so stay tuned. The PM-1000 did the job on bumps but just doesn't seem to stand up to the rigors of trail riding. Their web site advertises this model as recreational, so I guess that about sums it up. I would rate the PM-1000 as a 5 for factory support and a 3 as a XC post. As for the Bracer it is too early to call but at first glance it appears to be roughly equal in quality to the Rock Shox post.

Weaknesses:	Heavy Not good at anything above moderate
Bike Setup:	M-200 from (1995-6) owned in (1998-9)
Bottom Line:	Not anything special through the trails, you still need to get up when roots come and stuff, so it's sort of pointless for a more avid rider since heavier and not to good at absorbing. But for only $60 it's good for a recreational rider to absorb small bumps at low speeds with some gay 100lb Huffy that no matter what seat post you get it does it no justice.

Strengths:	Nice action
Weaknesses:	Binds when subjected to lateral force, poor clamp design
Bottom Line:	I bought this seatpost out of curiosity, just to see if a suspension seatpost would improve the ride. I was very impressed with the action of the post, except that the post tended to bind if you weren't seated directly above its centre. There were no instructions included with the post, so adjustments had to be done by trial and error. Also, I couldn't get the clamp tight enough to keep the seat horizontal, and eventually stripped the threads trying. As I understand it, my post used the new clamp design, but in my opinion, it needs to be revised further to make the post usable. A potentially good product marred by some serious weaknesses.

Weaknesses:	Heavy bends if your a porky
Bottom Line:	Okay, here's the scoop. I reviewed this product six months ago and liked it a lot. Since then, the post has bended 10 degrees on me! At first I was pissed, but onsidering that I weighed 280 lbs most of last season and weigh about 235 now (biking does wonders for the gut) I can't complain. So I thought I got a good product for about a year for 60 bones. Not bad right? It gets better. I called supergo to see if they would replace it. They said yes!. I sent it in with a letter detailing what happened. I figured I would just give the post to a friend or sell it because it would just bend again. Supergo did me one better. They offered to refund the amount because they figured it would bend again too! You simply cannot beat that! The point?? If you are a porky like me, don't but it unless you want to gamble on Supergo being as nice to you as they were to me or unless you want to throw it away in a year. If you are light, you can't go wrong with it. I have to increase my rating to 5 flamers! P.S.- I ride exceptionally hard so that may have influenced the failure of the post.

Strengths:	Takes the sting out of bumps well CHEAP!
Weaknesses:	Old clamp design is terrible. Stiction (can be resolved)
Similar Products Used:	None in this department
Bike Setup:	Various seats on my 1997 GF Big Sur
Bottom Line:	I agree completely with the Canadian guy, Dave. I hate the old clamp design passionately. It eventually failed necessitating removal by vice and metal saw. Cannot get replacement parts for it. However, I've seen new ones with a much improved seat post clamp design. For only $49, half what some of the exotic seat posts run, it does a great job. It may be the best value on the suspension post market when you take into account performance vs. price. I give the one I have two stars, and the new one four stars for re-engineering the clamp. Average of three stars. If and only if you can get the new design, I recommend it thoroughly.

Bottom Line:	I have had the seat post for about a year and have some of the same problems mentioned in the other posts here. I turned the post around as mentioned in the 8/16 post and that trick worked great. The seat angle adjustment screws should face forward - it stops all the creaking the post used to do. I am having trouble with the seat sliding front to back and I can't seem to get it to stop. If anyone has any suggestions on how to help this I would appreciate if you could email me at JABATE@US.IBM.COM. Although this is a lower price range than others, I think it's a good one because it has the spring/elastomer combination, which even some of the higher priced posts don't have. It seems to work overall very well except for the seat clamp.

Submitted by Dave a cross-country rider from Sudbury, Canada Date Reviewed: January 5, 1999
Bottom Line:	I ordered a PM-900 post through a local bike shop last spring for about $75 Canadian. This model looks a bit different than the one I've seen in the Supergo ad (the seat clamp is split horizontally at the rear and uses a single allen bolt to secure it from below, so maybe this is why I've not had a problem with the clamp loosening. Also, I've had no problems with the post bending, and I weigh 195 lbs. I just had to order the heavy spring (no choice of elastomers from the Montreal distributor), and I lube it whenever I lube my fork. Late in the season the 5mm connecting bolt that joins the square stanchion to the retainer inside the post broke and is now on back order, as the distributor didn't have the correct replacement. It isn't full suspension, but it does add to the confort factor at a low price.

Bottom Line:	I dont know about all the other reviews but, i love the hell out of my post. For one, you cant beat the price for a fully rebuildable Suspension seat post. As far as the Squeeks and some of the jittery feel, I've found that all you have to do to fix that is sand down the clear coat on the slider and you never have a problem. Rideng over here in Germany can get pretty muddy , and in one race that i entered Mud Fest 98 (conditions are self explanitary) my Post Moderne hung right in there. Another aspect of the seat post that i LIKED is the twisting from side to side. Now i know you are supposed to tighten up the clamp , But ! i found that the motion actually works with you while riding (especially in the saddle climbing. I can go on and on about my investment but i'll leave it at this for now. If you have any Q's feel free to mail me at Airwave74@yahoo.comAJJJJJJ (USAF)

Bottom Line:	I test-rode a bike with this post on it in a forest near the bike shop. To me it seemed that it only kicked on on larger bumps and then all it did was made me feel the bumps a moment later as the spring rebounded. It also made an annoying noise as it topped out after each bump. Before anybody asks I am of average weight, so I assume the post was set up correctly for me. I have a gel-seat cover on my own seat and it is just as comfortable - provides some cushing, without launching you. It looks quite fat and lame but who cares. Buy one of them for many dollars less.

Bottom Line:	Read the August 16th 1998 posting from Ed. He's on the money. I've had two of these on two bikes, and along with a Softride suspension stem, consider it a viable, lighter alternative to a full suspension bike (yes, I have one). The important thing is to get the seat positioned so your weight is directly over the upper bushing to keep it from binding, which will probably require mounting the post backwards. Then experiment with moving the seat around in the rail clamp until you find the position with the least stiction. Oozing some silicon sealer into the slots below the boot will help keep water and grit out if you ride in nasty conditions. The upper bushing may need to be greased once in a while, simple to do by just sliding up the boot. And yes, Locktite can be a good idea. I don't know what some of these people are complaining about. I guess an idiot can destroy anything.

Bottom Line:	I've been using the seat post for a while and like it for some uses but not for others. Assuming it works fine (it does have to be kept greased or lubed) it makes your ride more comfortable. I think under racing conditions it will only make you faster if you are riding on EXTREMELY bumpy up hill conditions. I usually feel faster with it off. It also weighs quite a bit for racing.

Bottom Line:	I ride a hardtail, and this post takes enough of the edge off bumps that I can ride faster on cross-country descents. In short, I really like it for the riding I do.I had a problem with the internals of the post creaking, the same sound as a tired bottom bracket makes. The suggestions in Ed's post (8/16) helped, but didn't eliminate the noise. I emailed Jane at Supergo, and she suggested putting a bit of bicycle oil into the post. That fixed it completely! It's easy to do: take the post off the bike and flip it over. On the bottom is a threaded plug; use an allen wrench to unscrew it. Pull out the elastomer, the circular plastic cup, and the spring. You can then see the bottom end of the shaft. Squirt a bit of oil on the shaft (I used Pedro's Syn ATB), and reassemble. Make sure to screw the threaded plug in until it's flush with the bottom of the post.

Bottom Line:	I like this post! I haven't used any other seat posts so can not compare but I get enough travel to take the sting out of long rides. The uphill traction has improved on loose and bumpy surfaces as I can keep more weight on the back wheel and I have greater control on downhills (Off the saddle) as I can grip the saddle with my thighs without ending up bruised! As with the previous reveiwer I have used Girvin Fork lube to overcome the stiction, the creeking I thought was the titanium rails on my saddle and as there were no instructions on setup I will check out his suggestion. I am only giving 4 chills becames I saw a suggestions of replacing the spring with an elastomer or something which gives better damping. If this works then I think 5 will be in order. Its cheap it works is got a good boot and looks the part, if you ride for all day for pleasure on a hardtail buy it!

Submitted by Ed a cross-country rider from MI Date Reviewed: August 16, 1998
Bottom Line:	I have had this post for two months now and I have learned that it will perform great with some modifications. First of all, all the boneheads who stripped out their bolts overtightening them in an effort to keep their seats in place don't really know what they're doing. All that is needed is about 20-30 ft-lbs. of torque and some threadlock and it will never come loose. You will strip out anything if you overtighten it. second, the post suffers from a lot of sticktion but it was designed to do so; that is how the unit provides some rebound dampening. However, if you simply can't handle the sticktion all you need to do is put some judy butter on it it it will go away for the most part. The downfall of doing that is you will be bouncing constantly. Third, for those who suffered from the creaks and noises the post makes, you're all boneheads (and so am I) for not paying attention to the diagrams. You've got the post backwards! Actually, post modern did a crappy job of making this clear. The angle adjustment bolts go forward! This is counterintuitive because you can't get the seat to slide back all the way when it is mounted this way but, the creaks are gone and the post works better. Fourth, if you have problem with the post sliding down while riding, simply sand the post down a bit to remove the shine and put some threadlock on it before you tighten the seatpost clamp. This will keep it from moving up and down or from twisting. So, it works well and really does smooth out the trail. Compared to other posts that may work better it still stands out because it does the job and costs half as much. As for weight, it is heavy. But only to the point where you will not want it if you're racing. I have a lot of feeling that many of the idiots who complained of the seatpost being heavy don't even race or could probably lighten their bikes easier by going on a diet. Besides, if you're serious enough to the point where an extra 200 grams are going to piss you off why the hell are you even looking at suspension seatposts? Nobody who races seriously uses them. Are these those damn people who just lighten their bikes just so they can have a race-ready bike that they use for weekend trail riding? Sounds like it--don't listen to these fools. Bottom line: This is a cheap, effective, and efficient upgrade to your bike. Don't expect wonders in any catagory, but do expect your ride to be smoother and your back to feel a lot better. five stars if you do the above. Two if you don't.

I have mine over 5 months and NOTHING has gone wrong. Like the smart folks say below it is not a $59 FS bike replacement, but it takes the edge off the rumbling below and like most mechanical parts it DOES require some overhaul for the sticking. Simply lift the rubber boot; dab a little Judy Butter (don't use silicone or petroleum based lube because it will rot the boot) and off you go. For the money it is a good deal.

While this post doesn't suddenly give you full suspension riding traits, it works very well at taking the edge off of small rough terrain (ie roots, small rocks, etc.). I have to disagree with the very negative reviews that it sucks. The biggest difference I noticed was the lack of low back pain after a ride. I beleive the folks that are dissatisfied are seated constantly and expecting the post to absorb the trail. It won't work on big bumps and you still must stand. Mine has never loosened at the seat clamp but it has developed some play which isn't noticeable while riding. You do need to disassemble it periodically and regrease the post. With proper expectations, it is a good post for the money.

Bottom Line:	I have to agree with the other people here that the girvin post is definetly the post moderne. I bought the girvin post. All I have to say is that this is a piece of crap. My first day of riding it there was massive stiction so I lubed it up real good. That fixed the stiction problem but then it began to pogo like crazy. Very unnerving bouncing around on your post. After only two weeks of riding it I had to walk out of the trails(about 3miles) because the damn seat came loose. I checked the bolts holding it on and tried tightning them but they had stripped just from riding it. The solution was to take it back to my lbs for an exchange and they sugested that I upgrade to a USE which I did. I just put it on my bike today and went for a quick ride around the block. The use is a major improvement over the girvin. Don't try to save a few bucks like I did and get screwed. When you look at how much you spent on your bike the cost difference is not that great between the girvin a good quality post. It's kinda like putting retread tires on a BMW and expecting it to still perform. Somethings are just inexpensive but this is just a flat out cheap piece of crap.

It started to get alot of stiction before I cleaned it. AFter taking it apart I notice that there was some water in it and with the lil lube that they put in it, the stiction problem was found. I lubed it VERY well internally with Judy butter (is there such a thing as too much Judy butter? :) ). Runs awesome again. Now, only 1 complaint, the boot sucks. I had Judy butter always coming out of the bottom of the boot, which it wouldn't if the boot was tight around the post. I went down to the bike store and bought a pak of Lizard skin covers made to go around the posts of your front shocks rather than running the normal rubber boot. I cut one to size and wrapped it around the original boot of the PM post and contiuing down the post about 3 inches. Work AWESME. Not only does it now keep the grease insie but also seals it up so water and dirt can't get inside. Very worthwhile investment. % chilis this time.

The only thing that went wrong was that I received no manual. I called Supergo and one is headed my way. So far, after riding about 3 hours on a challenging trail in central Florida (yes, there are some :) ) it held up great. Before I went out I put a lil Judy butter on the square shaft to lube it up a little. I saw a huge difference between the ride with this post and my previous rigid Titec. I found the post to be a little heavy but not as heavy as I was expecting but really didn't notice a difference during the ride. It really takes the edge off of bumps. I'm thoroughly impressed. I took some black nylon wire ties and put 1 one the bottom of the bellow (as some put silicon on) and put another on the top of the bellow but just kinda snugged the top up a little. Seemed to work well. I will post again in a few months for an updated review. I give it the benefit of the doubt right now. 3 chili's. If it continues in a few months as it did today I'll give it 5 chilis. Well worth the $59. I recommend anyone with a hard tail and <$75, give it a try. U'll be pleased.

Bottom Line:	Got mine in early October near the end of the season, so I don't have a lot of time on it yet. Just like everyone else, ordered it from SuperGoo (in mid August). The post is really smooths out fast rides on a flat trail near home that crosses over what used to be a farmer's field and is still furrowed. It does weigh a ton, though--may switch back to a rigid post for races. I give it a four based on it working well in limited use so far.

By that I mean it hasn't bent or anything and I weigh 328. its incredible. I recommend that you buy it, its just a great deal. Everything else pales in comparison. BUY IT! BUY IT! BUY IT! BUY IT!

Bottom Line:	MINE BENT AGAIN!!! If you don't have to extend it far, no problems. But extend it near the limit line and it will BEND. After I noticed the bend I took my old post (30.9mm od 26 mm id) and epoxyed it over the PM's post. Now It will never bend and I don't have to mess with a shim. Still a nice post for the $$$ But SUPERGO switch the tube to 7005 alum for a bit mor strength( then send me a replacement for pointing out this small flaw in an otherwise good seatpost)

Bottom Line:	Hey, this post is NOT full-suspension so if you buy it thinking it's going to be as good as buying a GT STS, then you're in for a disappointment. David a couple of posts below mentions it bouncing him out of his seat on a technical downhill with lots of rocks and roots. If it's bouncing you that much, then you need to stand through those sections.This post is great for smoothing out those long cross-country rides but don't expect it to work miracles or to substitute for riding skills.As for durability, I've had mine for about a year now and I keep it clean, lube it regularly, and everything is fine. It is heavier than just about any other part on my bike, though--and I even got an aluminum shim.

Bottom Line:	I've been checking out diff. posts for a couple of years now and picked up the post mod. mainly due to the price. I have been really impressed with the performance!!. It really takes the kick out of slammin' rutted downhill singletrak and when you hover above and pinch the seat w/ your thighs, you can gain a new level of control & stability. The post helps alot with climbing too!, allowing you to sit and rest most of your weight on the seat w/ out being tossed up at the slightest little bump your rear wheel hits. It can really take the edge off a sweet alum. hardtail (ie: M2,GT, etc...) it actually kept me from buying an FS bike 'till just recently. about the weight, It is heavy but...... I lightened mine SIGNIFICATLY by using a mix of Judy AND Manitou elastomers!!! instead of the heavy spring, and also I have replaced every bolt inside and outside the post with a Ti. bolt the post now weighs 295g from 550g or so. SWEEEEEETTTTTT! stock I've had it set up like this for over a year now w/ no problems!

Bottom Line:	I purchased the PM as a test unit for suspension seat posts with low expectations and have been pleasantly surprised so far. I have roughly 250 miles of pretty rough singletrack on the unit and have had no real trouble. I hav experienced the Sqeaky Seat Clamp mentioned in other reviews and the stiction is pretty bad without a lot of maintenance and oh baby is this thing heavy. Lighter, less stiction and an aluminum shim would improve my rating. Overall pretty good for the price. A note on Supergo. Most of my dealings have been good but I always expect some kind of trouble when I am not looking the salesman in the eye!!!

Bottom Line:	I have to agree with John that the Post Moderne suspension seatpost is really a Girvin FlexPost. In fact, the specs from the Girvin matches of that to the PM-1000. The box even says PM-1000. Anyhow, like everyone else, I wanted a suspension seatpost to soak out the serious bumps when going downhill. I've looked at the Girvin and it looks cheap and affordable. It retails down here for $117 with 1 shim (shim costs $5 Canadian) and the post is $112. There was only 1 LBS in town that carry this post, but the store owner had to order it from Montreal. Called the distributor, but was told back that the post had to be back ordered. From what I heard from the distributor, they ARE NOT VERY enthusiastic about this product. They didn't seem to be so willing to sell this product and instead adviced my LBS for a Thudbuster Unipivot. I dediced, however, to buy the Girvin FlexPost (PM-1000) and wait for it. 4 weeks went by and finally got the post and the wrong shim. Finally got the right shim and installed onto my Giant ATX-780. Test rode it cross-country and donwhill and although it worked okay, it is quite bouncy! I was doing a technical run downhill with lots of rocks and roots and my bike was bouncing around. My front shocks shaved off most of hits, but my suspension seatpost was trying to shave them off, but instead caused me to bounce around so bad that if it weren't for my clipcless pedals holding my feet to the bike, I'll be tossed out of my seat EASILY! Poor damping performance. Maybe ok for a milkrun, but for a serious ride, I'll probably try the Thudbuster. I immediately returned the seatpost the next day and my LBS was more than happy to take it back.

Bottom Line:	Here's an updated post. I posted a few months back. The seatpost has done it's job. I have the preload adjusted pretty much all the way out. I set the seat height a bit higher to compensate for the sag that occurs after sitting down. This arrangement works fine for me. It takes out the big bumps and smooths out the little ones. I weigh 160 lbs. and get about and inch of useful travel, so it makes sense to stand up for the really BIG hits. I have seen where other's have had the post break on them. That's not a problem that I am having. My problem is that the seats are not holding up their end. I've just bent the rails in a second seat. Post Moderne Seat post 5 peppers. Seat's that come standard on Giant bikes get 0 peppers. If you're thinking of buying this post, keep these things in mind: 1) Junk will penetrate the internals as others have stated. 2) You need to keep the seat clamp very tight. I've had the post for over three months and 500 miles and it's doing great.

Bottom Line:	This seatpost is available in Canada as a Girvin Flex Post. There is a tag on the box indicating it to be a PM-1000. It retails for $120 Canadian with travel at 40mm. Not sure why there is no mention of this in the magazines except for the advertising by the biggest retailer of this product.

Submitted by Nick a cross-country rider from Pittsburgh, PA, USA Date Reviewed: July 29, 1997
Bottom Line:	I am always looking for the cheap solution to an expensive problem. Usually you get what you pay for. So far my Post Moderne post has been worth the money. It will take some fine tuning (preload adjust ment, loc-tite on the seat post clamp and side-play adjusting screws, etc.) Most of the bad reviews here sound like some folks who didnt read the ad carefully or didnt bother to tinker with it. My post came with the preload dialed the whole way out and if I didnt take the initiative to adjust, try it, re adjust, etc then I would be bitching too I guess. Also, suspenion does NOT make every little irregularity just disappear (at least none of the suspension bikes I have tried ride like a Buick anyway). A shorter travel post like this does take some of the suffering out of a longer ride, though. Supergo is indeed a little uncoordinated when it comes to meeting shipping dates, but other than that, I have always gotten good deals from them. Thought the ad was pretty clear that you had to specify the right shim and order the heavy or light kits seperately. By the time it ads up, if you need the heavy or soft kit, it may not be so economical anymore.So if you are looking to cheapskate out of the rear suspension dilemma and you need something to take the edge off, and you are a at least little bit mechanically inclined - The PM may be what you want. There is no easy solution, all the posts are going to have some drawbacks. A few not-so-well-planned mechanical items (boot doesnt keep gunk out very well, sideplay adjustments, etc.) but all were easily remedied and can be overlooked at this price in my not so humble opinionDidnt think it was much heavier than other suspension posts that I have hand-weighed. Seat clamp was hard to adjust for/aft seat position with my seat. (the sides of the seat come down kind of far, and blocked the bolt. Most seats will not have this problem). Liked that all the seat adjustments use the same size hex wrench. My official cheapskate for good for the price rating would be 4 out of 5. If this were maybe lighter, or a little more low-maintenance then maybe a 5. Performs as well as advertised, possibly better than expected.

Submitted by Dan D. a cross-country rider from Murrieta Date Reviewed: April 27, 1997
Bottom Line:	I like many others had a bad experience dealing with Supergo. The post comes with three different elastomers - one for light riders, one for medium riders and one for heavy riders. I needed the heavy duty elastomer and requested it and they sent me the medium one. I sent the elastomer back and again requested the heavy duty elastomer and Supergo sent me another medium elastomer! I sent it back and the third time they got it right. As far as the seatpost is concerned I was not overly impressed. After I rode with the seatpost for a while I went back to my rigid seatpost to see if there was that much of a difference. There wasn't. Sure the suspension seatpost made riding somewhat more comfortable but it didn't make a huge difference. Also, the seatpost is heavy to the point where you feel it. I also broke a seatpost collar trying to keep the seatpost from slipping down the shim that they provided (although a quality collar took care of this problem). The seatpost also developed an annoying squeak and you cannot completely get rid of the side to side play in the seat (although this last thing didn't bother me). All in all, it is my opinion that the seatpost is more trouble than it is worth and doesn't make that big of a difference. I am going to stick with my rigid seatpost and hold out for a full suspension bike.

Submitted by Allen a cross-country rider from Scarborough ME Date Reviewed: April 27, 1997
Bottom Line:	Let me start by saying I am now sold on rear suspension. The measley 1.5 inches of travel on my Post Moderne has made a large difference in comfort. My advice is if you can afford it get a FS bike, if you have a nice hardtail but can spend a couple og hundred bucks look at RJ concepts(Thudbuster) Quad pivot suspension seat post(read it's reviews, all 5 chili's) The people at RJ are a pleasure to deal with. If you only want to spend $60, get the Post Moderne. I like The Post Moderne, it is comfortable, and rugged. On the down side it is HEAVY and mine has developed a creak in the seat clamp(not a big deal). My seatpost was back-ordered, and I was left in the dark as to the status, I tried calling Supergo and sending them e-mail. No response. I don't think I'll deal with Supergo again.(too bad as their prices are the best) One other thing, my shim which is 30.9 to fit my specialized is a good product, well made, and no slippage. 4 chili's for the seatpost, 1 chilli for supergo.

Bottom Line:	I have been riding on the PM-1000 for about 800 miles of singletrack now and so far I love it. Not having had any experience with other brands or types of susp. seatposts I can't compare , but this seatpost for the money is great. The boot could have been designed a little better for keeping mud & crud off of the sliding surfaces, but RTV seals it pretty good, and you have to keep the thing lubed pretty good or stiction can be a problem but I'm sure thats true of all telescopic seatposts. I weigh 215lbs. and have had no failures of the product yet. We'll see how it holds up over the long haul.(4 chilis, 5 if they had weatherproofed it better.)

Bottom Line:	I bought a pair of these posts for myself and my wife and I have to say that they make a huge difference in riding comfort. The only problem that I have had is that the thing gets contaminated with grit pretty easily and then it doesn't move at all. I took the post apart, relubed everything and put a silicone caulk seat around the boot and now it works fine - even in the muck. OK product, maybe not as well thought out as some but the price was right.

Bottom Line:	I am at the point I'm disgusted with the seatpost and Supergo. I ordered the seatpost as it did imply three different elastomers but it doesn't. I wish I had delayed my order weeks ago and read about it here. I've called 6 times on this order trying to get the right elastomer and the additional shim I ordered but disappeared from my order. I'm tired of the run around on my first order. The product may be useful but the whole situation is aggravating. I'll call again and confirm that I have to wait two weeks for replacement elastomer/spring and hopefully the shim they promised to send today will be here soon, but if not then whatever could have done for me is not worth it. I'll take it off my bike, send it back and refuse the charge on my credit card. Let Supergo fight my credit card company. I've been polite and patient even if they messed up my first order but calling 6+ times on this I think is getting too much. If things turn out o.k, I'll repost. but take this as a strong warning.

Submitted by Mike Warner a cross-country rider from Cupertino, CA Date Reviewed: March 31, 1997
Bottom Line:	Good mechanical design as far as the rail clamps and the tilt adjustment. Using a spring with no damping is not a good idea. The post works well over small bumps, but larger ones turn the post into an ejection seat. I was able to calm this tendency down by replacing the rubber spacer inside the post with two of the old Manitou red elastomers. The shim that I got is a joke, and only has 2mm of contact area on the seat tube. It collapsed after the first mile of a race (which was three hours away) and I had to DNF. Made a new shim out of an old seat post, and now it works great. With the fixes, I like the way the post allows me to stay seated through the rough stuff, and I can ride faster because of it, but if I had it to do all over again, I would get a USE post, which is lighter and comes with elastomers and a better shim.

Bottom Line:	This suspension seatpost was an extremely good deal. For only $60, I got the performance that has keeped me very satisfied. It has 1.5 inches of travel..good enough for most types of riding and soaks up most small to medium bumps. From all the reviews and other rider's opinions, I was thinking about getting the USE suspension post....but the price was just too much. The PM-1000 was a good alternative to the USE shockpost or a full suspension frame. It is a little heavier than a normal post, but I really didn't feel the difference. At the bottom end of the post there is also a preload adjuster which was very handy. Compared to my old (rigid) post, there was a little flex. Then again, we its like comparing apples to oranges and with all the benefits...its worth every penny.

Bottom Line:	This seatpost is awesome! After using it for about 3 weeks it still works great. Kind of heavy though but worth it. I could ride on stutter bumps fully seated, down stairs seated. Try one before you buy that heavy full suspension bike for cross-country. Got mine for $59 at Supergo in Santa Monica, CA. I'd give it a five if it was lighter.
