Date Reviewed: May 10, 2004 | | Favoriate Trail: | Exit 27 | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Purchased At: | came on bike | | Strengths: | adjustable, looks pretty cool
| | Weaknesses: | i bent it | | Similar Products Used: | all kinds of seatposts | | Bike Setup: | 03 stinky with romic shock, slider plus, nokian tires | | Bottom Line: | Im going to buy another one because they are cheap. its a fine seatpost, its not like its a real high performance part. i guess it could be a little stronger, im about 120 lbs. and i bent it yesterday off a 12' drop when i slipped a pedal so its quite understandable that it bent. its cheap and looks cool. would work fine for xc or dh, as long as you dont slam on it too hard, go buy one. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: September 14, 2001 | | Favoriate Trail: | pippin | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Purchased At: | Elliot Bay Bicycles | | Strengths: | Looks cool (thats pretty sad). | | Weaknesses: | Flexy, creaks so much I'm about to go insane. | | Similar Products Used: | Bunch of no name crap. | | Bike Setup: | Kona Kula 00', stock except Answer ProTaper bars, Sellia Itallia Flite Gel, and Panaracer trailblaster tires. | | Bottom Line: | This seat creakes like a mother. I've tried greasing it, oiling it, lubing it. Nothing works, and it's a pain in the ears. Also, it's not very stiff, and all of my 135 pounds makes it flex. It looks cool though. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: September 3, 2001 | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Strengths: | solid and easy to adjust clamp | | Weaknesses: | it bends, flexy | | Bike Setup: | Kona Explosif (853 baby!) | | Bottom Line: | Other than the bend, a very decent seatpost. Easily adjusted, never loosened or creaked, and even looks kinda cool. Unfortunately, I'm 165 lbs. and my skinny @ss has bent this post. I ride it hard, but that's no excuse for a seatpost bending in less than a year. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$24.00 | | Purchased At: | LBS | | Strengths: | Adjustability, great clean looks | | Weaknesses: | None that I've found | | Similar Products Used: | Titec, Syncros | | Bike Setup: | Giant XTC SE1 (1999) | | Bottom Line: | Man if the other reviewer bent his Interloc post more power to him. Mine has absolutely no give whatsoever and I weigh 180lbs. The post is solid and tough. I used to own an old school Syncros Hardcore post that I loved and this post is easily as strong and the Interloc post is better made (IMHO). I would not call myself a "light" rider and I've put the post through a ton of abuse. This is one good product. Buy it if you have a hard butt though, I've never had this post give. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: October 16, 2000 | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Price Paid: |
$12.00 | | Purchased At: | LBS | | Strengths: | Adjustability, relatively light | | Weaknesses: | It's bent | | Similar Products Used: | Kona seatpost, 2 other's - never new what they were... | | Bike Setup: | '99 Kona FireMountain with some changes. - seatpost being the most regular change. | | Bottom Line: | Not sure which model of Interloc - it worked fine - a bit too springy to my liking - but it made for a plush ride.
I liked this seatpost's adjustability - I had to re-tighten the bolts once, but unfortunatley it has now suffered the same fate as my previous $10-20 seatposts - they bend too easily under my weight.
If you're a lightweight this could be the seatpost for you - if you tend to bend 'em, look elsewhere - this one will bend too.
