Hi all,

Can anyone provide feedback on whether you would recommend this seatpost. I'm looking at either getting this post or FSA K-Force Carbon.

Thanks for your input. :)

I replaced a Pave post with the FSA for the setback of the FSA. When I took off the Pave, I noticed a hairline crack up top near the head of the post. The crack was about an inch below the head of the post. I am a big boy at 245lb. The FSA seems to be a bit thicker near the head of the post....

Thanks for the reply. I dread to think what would of happened if the post had snapped or what you would have lost. My eyes water just thinking about a seatpost snapping on me :eek:

My normal weight is about 178lbs. I'm leaning more towards the K-Force as this appears to have a potential for more set back.

happy riding
