I have a thompson stem bought second hand for peanuts - really dislike the clamping arrangement - designed to be overtightened and seize. Seatpost - again bought cheap secondhand - its a seatpost with the usually fiddly arrangement for clamping the seat - but every post I have is a fiddle.

Bought secondhand cheap the seatposts are good, I wouldn't pay full whack for them

TJ, that'll be the Elite series with the internal wedge, I take it?
I'd agree that those aren't great, and none too light either.
I really like the X2 though, low stack height,-10 degree option, fairly carbon friendly (especially the Hbar clamp) and nice durable finish- if only they'd mill off some of the excess sharp bits in front of the steerer clamp it'd be perfect

Nope, I'd buy a seatpost if I could find a 26.8mm one going for cheap enough though. I'm always worried my alu NC17 is gonna snap/bend on me, even though it seems pretty strong.
