[Closed] KS LEV - OK for the heavy rider?

I'm a good 20lbs above that and mine's been fine for a year

'Solid persuasion'.... I like you 🙂 120kg (naked) here and mine is fine so far.

Are you by any chance looking on German websites? Before buying mine I saw this weight limit, but then I found a thread on another bike site where someone from KS US was explaining that it was a crock.

I'll try and find it.

EDIT Here it is http://www.pinkbike.com/news/The-Assembly-of-a-KS-Lev-Seatpost-2012.html

I am indeed on a certain German site, cheers both. Phew, for a second I thought I'd have to sacrifice pies for a new dropper post.

EDIT: Nice article, thanks for that.

There's only a weight limit on the DX ones AFAICT. they're supposed to be made of lesser materials and are thus more affordable.

I'm 115kg and mine has been back twice as it sagged. No idea if this is weight related though.

Not a single issue with my LEV Integra (with updated cable attachment to seatpost). I am around 95KG fully loaded.

As an aside I found that putting quite high air pressure in it from new prevented several minor issues that people complain about.
