anyone had one if so what did you think?
Yeah, pretty good for the money and if you need a 27.2 post its a decent enough option. Not as good as a Reverb though.
wife has one...works well but she never uses it so only used when I stick it on the roof as I drop the saddle...has the lever below the seat but seems to work well whildt I had a play with it.

Seems fine. Only had it for 2 months or so, but had plenty of use in that time. Its on my HT so gets used in plenty of slop, no maintenance required yet 🙂
I use the under seat lever, so cant comment on the remote. Great for the money
Got one on a bike I purchased off here second hand and it's not bad at all. Bit of sideways movement but nothing that really bothers.
Can't fault mine.
Does what it says on the side of the tin, no more no less.
Yep, I've had a couple - not bad for the money, but not as smooth as the Reverb on my mate's bike. And when the cable goes slightly out of adjustment it doesn't return as fast.
But they can be had for half - two thirds the price of a Reverb, so this is what you get for the money.
I've had one for a couple of months, its ok, I'd probably say it was great but I also have a reverb which is a very polished product, but that came with the bike, I'd have to feel flush to fork out reverb prices, for the 130 I paid the hilo is just the ticket. Bit sticky on returning to begin with but fine now (just use sorted that). Worth popping the bits that hold the saddle in out to begin with and greasing as they can seize. Remote is fiddly to install too. But once its up and running, its very good, especially for the money.
Can you get the remote lever as an after market piece? If so, where from and how much?
