Can anyone reccommend which seatpost is best...Any reviews would be great.........
xfusion hilo?
I've had nothing but hassle with my Joplin 3 and Joplin 4. The joplin 4 is currently in for warranty but really don't like loosing my £200 seatpost for a month at a time.
Same as Dyls, except I am using a KSi900. 5 months old, and it just went pop. Again. 🙁
KSi900 I've had it for 12+ months 2010 model no problems, it was a bit slow when we had the -5- to -15 degs etc weather, 5 degs and above no problems 😀 I ride 2-3 times a week, and use it all of the time,the remote on the bars is awesome, just replaces the lock ring on your lock on grips. I had a hard fall on the Marin trail a couple of weeks back and hit the deck so hard 😳 ,some how the saddle took the impact and since then I have a very small amount of play in the seat post, I was going flat out so it was quite a hard hit to the post the saddle had rotated and slackned the top of the post where the saddle clamps to, I banged it back into place and its been ok, except for the slight play, I will have to send the post off maybe.
I find it hard going back to a standard post the saddle seems to be in the way all of the time, once you get used to just pushing it down,
the bikes handling is much improved with the saddle down, all the die hards who see no use for one , must be a much better rider than me.
I have had an i900 for over two years. First was replaced under warranty with the new 2010 model and it's been flawless......and is now for sale if your interested....sorry about the shameless plug.....
I just got a X-fusion. Don't bother with the remote as you could make one yourself and save 50 quid. Ask in a year how good it is.
Hope it is good but I usually just ride standing up with my saddle down but I am a sucker for gadgets especially when I have not been riding.
