Description:High-quality 6061 T6 aluminum seatposts provide worry free durability and performance while minimizing weight by eliminating unnecessary materials in non-critical areas. Grat value for the money. Rust-proof





Submitted by Martin a Downhiller from berlin, germany
Date Reviewed: November 25, 2006
Duration Product Used:2 Years
Price Paid: $20.00
Strengths:length, price, color, not broken yet
Weaknesses:bent after doing a crankflip and missing the Pedals (Fullsuspension, 27,2, I weight around 160 pounds)
Similar Products Used:syncros, control tech (the worst), onza, kore
Bike Setup:DaBomb Cherry Bomb, sherman, Hayes
Bottom Line:I'm quite Happy it didn't break until now but i expected it to take a little more force to bend this not-so-ultralight seatpost about 5 degrees. If you are not riding street or downhill or weight below 160 pounds this might be no problem.

Favorite Trail:Any
Duration Product Used:More than 3 years
Price Paid: $20.00
Purchased At:Planet Cycles, Highland Park, Auckland
Strengths:Double bolt is a good system. My previous single bolt seat post slipped all the time. This one is much better.
Weaknesses:The screw have rusted, even though they were stainless.
Bike Setup:XC hard tail race bike.
Bottom Line:Good seat post, I will probably buy a Thompson version next time round just for the added quality they seem to have .. but I really can't complain about this one. I'd buy a double bolt aomeba over any Easton single bolt or anything like that.

Date Reviewed: December 13, 2001
Favorite Trail:Anywhere I can ride
Duration Product Used:1 Year
Price Paid: $10.00
Purchased At:Local Bike Shop
Strengths:Well made, nice finish, strong and quite light. Very good clamp design. Looks like it costs a lot more than what I actually paid for it.
Weaknesses:Graphics doesn't look very cool.
Similar Products Used:Kalloy Uno
Bike Setup:Diamondback (Ridgid), Shimano XT & LX Mega-9 Components, Kore 3D Stem, Easton EA50 riser bar, Specialized Strong-arm Crank, Shimano PD-M636 pedals, WTB Saddle (SST-X2) and Tires (Velociraptors).
Bottom Line:I saw it in a bike shop, it's finished in satin Black and Silver (very cool), and the craftsmanship looks better the Titec seatpost I was planning to buy (at a fraction of the Titec price). I bought this instead. It's made of 6061 T-6 staight-gauge tubing (there's a new butted version that just came out that costs just a little bit more). The seat clamp is the part that I love best. It's easy to adjust, holds the saddle securely and doesn't loosen even in extreme riding. I just wish they could come up with better graphics though, because the logo looks a little too bland for my taste (that's why I just gave it an overall rating of just 4 Chilis). However, this has no bearing on performance. I'd recommend this to everyone looking for high quality parts at a bargain.
