The head on mine has started turning where its bonded into the post, anyone else hade this problem?

Are USE like Middleburn too with replacing things, i.e. send it back and something new and shiney arrives?

I had an Alien seatpost do that in 98, replaced under warranty and has worked since.

Weren't there someone with a carbon one that had done the same thing, only recently?

I've heard a few tales of this, with USE posts. Maybe they wanna sort out their UHU...

I had a ti Alien and... it snapped cleanly. No warning, no nothing. USE told me they had been aware of such instances with their titanium posts. I also had an aluminium Alien. Never felt safe enough so sold it promptly. I shan't touch an Alien ever again (unless somehow somebody changes my mind, yep!).

did it on my Ti Sumo. Sent it back to USE and they rebonded it on a 3 day turn around.
