Well it seems I’m a minority amongst the STW engineers here. On paper it looks to be right on the money.
I’ve used Thomson seat posts and stems since I care to remember and never been let down by them. I’m sure they would have done their sums with this one too.
The DOSS is way too expensive and the Reverb, for me, has it’s hydraulic drawback. So between the KS Lev and the Thomson, both have their pros but ultimately I would probably go with the company I have trusted for many years.
I think RS are probably watching the situation quite closely.
