    Price Paid: $99.00
    Purchased At:Cycle Works, Lincoln, NE
    Strengths:Great suspension. I like the sideways pivoting feature.
    Weaknesses:You have to have a right angle six mm. alllen wrench to adjust the up and down of the seat.
    Similar Products Used:None
    Bike Setup:Cycle Works Bike Shop installed the seat post and seat for me.
    Bottom Line:A great buy at the price. A real saver on the bum. This is the first suspension seat I have ever purchased. After examining several others I bought the Tamer on the recommendation of the bicycle shop owner. And I am very happy with the purchase. Any mountain biker or road biker would be the intended buyers.

    Date Reviewed: August 19, 2001
    Favorite Trail:Caledon Hills
    Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
    Strengths:lightweight
    Weaknesses:It broke, it's expensive
    Bike Setup:KHS Team, Marzocchi Flylight, XT disc brakes
    Bottom Line:On my third ride with this post (and on my first lap of a 24hr race), the post snapped. It broke at the very top where the seat bracket attaches to the post. There was a bang, my saddle was gone, along with the top inch of the post, luckily I did not impale myself on the very sharp piece that remained. I am not a particularly heavy rider - 180lbs. - so that should not have been a factor. I have emailed Tamer and hope to hear back from them soon.

    Date Reviewed: May 10, 1999
    Duration Product Used:
    6 months
    Strengths:
    Looks good
    Seat Hardware
    Doesn't Break
    Weaknesses:
    None Yet
    Similar Products Used:
    Easton
    Bike Setup:
    Pro Flex Frame Fox Shock, White Bros Fork
    Bottom Line:I wanted a carbon seatpost with my FS bike and after some bad experiences with Easton posts the Tamer was recommended to me. I've had it about 5 months and I love it, the hardware works and best of all it doesn't break. It may not be the lightest post around but it's still pretty light and it's durable.
