Neat little number in a good choice of colours. Pay attention to the torque specs as these are strong enough to damage your seatpost.

Pros: Low profile, colours and weight.

Cons: Very minor - Would like to see these with a smooth machined finish rather than the bead blasted finish.

Best light seat clamp available... period.

I did a LOT of searching and comparison before I chose this seat clamp, and I couldn't be happier. It's the lightest clamp I have found, yet with proper installation is more than a weight-weenie part. I have this clamp installed on both my and my wife's hard-tails. It keeps the seat right where I put it, and since we don't regularly need to move our seats, we don't need to add weight with the quick release lever. Not a gram wasted anywhere in this part. Like ANY performance/race product, you should always use the proper tool. Install this part with a properly calibrated torque wrench, and you will get great performance and longevity. I'll be coming back for two more of these to go on our new full suspension race bikes!

Pros: Light.
Keeps seat secure.
Clean look.

Cons: Needs to be installed using proper torque spec, but this is the case with ANY top quality race part... so not really a "Con".

I didn't have much luck with this clamp. I had the Red 34.9 mounted on a Jet9 with a Thomson elite post. The post would slip about 1/4" over a 10 mile ride when torqued to spec. I exceeded torque in small increments to try to fix the slipping and developed a crack near the bolt head, so I switched for a Salsa Liplock.

Pros: Light weight, looks great.

Cons: Fragile, slips.

Lightest Around

You'll be hard pressed to find a lighter cheaper seat post clamp. Just make sure you use a torque wrench. Holds the post secure no slipping no noise. It works, and for a weight-weenie item is cheap.

Pros: Doesn't slip, strong, colors.
