Date Reviewed: May 27, 2008 | | Favoriate Trail: | McDowell Mtn Park, all of em | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Price Paid: |
$100.00 | | Purchased At: | Bicycle Outfitter | | Strengths: | It is pretty to look at. | | Weaknesses: | The seatpost binder does not hold the saddle no matter how much you torque the bolt. Hit a bump, your seat will come nose up to 45 degrees and wack you in a very bad spot. Had a friend buy the same seatpost on same bike, same problem... | | Similar Products Used: | Easton, Thomson | | Bike Setup: | Gary Fisher Superfly | | Bottom Line: | Do not buy it unless you like getting hit in your most special place... | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: June 24, 2007 | | Favoriate Trail: | Sea Otter | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Strengths: | - very light
- strong
- looks great
- durable
- reliable | | Weaknesses: | - the seat POST has a little problem staying in place
- pricey | | Bike Setup: | SWD Crazy 8 | | Bottom Line: | People always look at me weird when they see my seatpost / seat set up. Because, frankly, they belong on a roadbike. I race downhill, but light weight is very important to me. Since only a few dh races require you to sit down and pedal for an extended period of time (fontana, sea otter), a roadbike set up sounded like a good idea to save weight without any risk.
I have had this seatpost for almost a year and it has held up great. The carbon-fiber post has stayed strong and the clamp never budges. It looks really good and saves a ton of weight compared to other seatposts. For the type of riding I do, it has done perfectly and I would recommend it to any downhiller looking to save some weight. I know they are pricey, I just got lucky and took it from my dad ><
Get one if you have the funds and the need to save some weight!! | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
