Six months ago we bought a Cannondale RT3000 tandem with Coda rear suspension post. After only two rides in the rain it has gone rusty and "grates" each time we go over a bump.

Has anyone had similar problems and how did you fix it ?

The reviews at MTB.com aren't looking real well for this seatpost: http://www.mtbr.com/reviews/Suspension_Seatpost/product_23184.shtml

Sounds like a lot of folks had similar problems. Sorry to hear about that. I will check our bike tonight and see what post we have. Any chance of taking it back to the dealer and working out something with them?
