FSA SL-K Carbon SB0 Seatpost

Sharp looking...super light

This is a sharp looking seatpost, super light, but still really strong. Got this to go on my cross bike, clamps very well, haven't had my saddle slip once.

Pros: Light

Cons: Slightly expensive

Would Buy Again: Yes

This is pretty much a sharp looking Chinese bonded seatpost. I just needed a matching seat post that was 0 off set and this fit the bill.
The biggest + is that it does not cost 150.
Something more clever at this price point would be nice.

Pros: cost
the new white graphics

Cons: boring, lazy design

Would Buy Again: Yes
Would Recommend: Yes

I really liked this seat post for a few rides. It's quiet and infinitely adjustable but I was concerned about the clamp bolts threading into the aluminum hold down clamp. So I set my seat up and torqued the hold down bolts according to FSA's instructions and on my 4th ride I noticed the seat sliding and tilting back. So I stopped and checked and the seat was loose. I got my multi tool out to tighten it down only to find the threads were stripped out on the hold down clamp and the post is now useless to me. I think if FSA used a steel nutplate or something other than aluminum for the bolts to thread into this would be an awesome post because of the pricepoint and performance but they didn't and I would caution others about using it. I will be curious to see if it changes for next year.

Pros: Light weight, quiet, very adjustable

Cons: Aluminum threads on hold down clamp

Would Buy Again: No
Would Recommend: No
