Any thiong that posts a weight limit, I steer clear. Wheels,saddles,posts,frames etc.
I weighed about 170, I think, when I used that seatpost (I've put on a few pounds since then
), but of course on a mountain bike I had a lot of exposed seatpost, which would have exaggerated the flexiness of it. I had heard a lot of good things about the Easton seatposts, and for some folks I'm sure they're fine. But I just remember thinking almost immediately that there was no way I was ever going to feel confident or comfortable with that seatpost flexing like it was. And I agree, if there's a weight limit on something like that, it's a good idea to read the fine print, or stay away altogether-
