I'd rather cut my arm off than buy anything at all by Superstar.

Along with birth, death and taxes, the following statements are certainties

(1) It [i]will[/i] break

(2) The customer service you'll get when you try to get it replaced will be [i]world-class[/i] awful

I reckon once you get one you will end up using it all the time and wonder how you rode without one.

Therefore, get one that works properly and has a remote.

Get a Reverb.

Expensive, but works well, looks good and has good back up if you need it. Of course, you will read lots of comment for / against. But Ive seen the cheap ugly Gravity Dropper break. My Reverb has been brilliant for a year in all conditions.

I have the KS 900 post, several friends have them too, no problems at all.

Lever one is a waste though, the remote is what makes them useful.

Actually given I use my Reverb every ride, and ride three times a week and have had it for a year, its bloody cheap.

Bit like decent forks or good brakes - you get what you pay for.

It would be pointless without a remote.

Hmmm, the reverb seem to be going for 180 note in germany as well.

Christ no - you've picked the only company with a shonkier reputation for quality than Superstar. Awesome customer service from 2Pure, awesomely crap product from Crank Bros.

No comment on the Superstar, but if you're after a cheap post i've found my Giant Switch really good.
