There seem to be a few around the £50 mark – Truvativ Noir, One23, etc.

Are they a false economy?

I got a Ragley one for £35 in a CRC sale about 6 months ago and I haven’t broken it yet. Best to get one from a reputable brand and a reputable seller though.

I got a Hylix one a while back for my hybrid, broke the top off it. Replaced it with an Exotic which is going strong, it’s a wee bit heavier though

£50 – that’s not cheap.

I am using an £18 210 gram post and it is still going after 6 months. Only used for XC riding but full rigid so gets ‘bounced’ on a fair bit soaking up the bumps.

What about a J&L Ti one.. About £40 On eBay

If any good I have a couple of 31.6 carbon posts for sale at a good price if your in the market.

A Jamis with woven carbon finsh at 350mm in length for £30 or

3T Dorico with UD finish and red logo’s at 180 grams (with ti bolt) 280mm in length (RRP £99) for £50.

Let me know if any good.
