Date Reviewed: September 2, 2007 | | Favorite Trail: | To Be Determined | | Duration Product Used: | 2 Years | | Price Paid: |
$60.00 | | Purchased At: | Don't Remember | | Strengths: | -Works well on interrupted seatpost designs (FSR as in Norco, Specialized etc)
-Lasted for 2 years of abuse
-once adjusted, stays put | | Weaknesses: | -Stock clamp sux, it moves around a lot and is awkward to adjust at times
-requires lubrication and cleaning often (posts)
-adjusting bolts are not very good quality | | Similar Products Used: | -Cut down Axiom post (with a far superior clamp system)
-Titec | | Bike Setup: | 2007 Norco Shore with DHX3.0
-2003 Super T Pro
-Juicy 7 (203 mm)
-full XT shifting
-Mavic Wheels on Hadley hubs
-E 13 DRS | | Bottom Line: | Bottom line is this has been an adequate post, good for the money but lacking in the finer details. I am impressed with the level of abuse that this post has taken, and remained solid and straight (MANY crashes). I am however NOT impressed with the quality of the mounting hardware and post head material.
If you can get this for a good price, giver.... there are only a few people making telescoping seat posts and this is a solid unit for the price. A bit clunky but all in all not too bad. If you need a scoper', it is well worth a look....especially if it is a dealeroo. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: September 10, 2006 | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Price Paid: |
$35.00 | | Purchased At: | Sun Country Cycle | | Strengths: | For bikes with an interupted seat design there is always a problem for long legged people - you usually have to cut the seat post too much so you can drop the seat for descents. On my Stumpy with the stock post this would have meant a very minimal length of post left inside the seat tube - not only is this bad for the frame it is pretty dangerous.
| | Weaknesses: | I have read elsewhere that the seat binder is not welded to the post - it is attached by an industrial adhesive instead - and that will not take heavy use for long. Time will tell but I've had no problems yet.
It's also a little heavier than the OEM post but that is to be expected - this is two posts and a QR clamp after all in place of a single post. | | Bike Setup: | 06 Specialized Stumpjumper FSR Comp - stock
Time ATAC pedals | | Bottom Line: | This is a great design, the tubes seem to be very stong and I only have to drop the top QR bracket to get the seat down enough for my comfort. The tubes fit together really tightly so keep the posts well lubricated - I would recommend a dry lube or you'll constantly be getting greasy if you raise and lower your seat a lot. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
