Brand X Inline Style 6061 Seatpost

Price Paid: £19-99 (Chainreactioncycles)
Length of use: 1 month (fitted October 2006)
Overall Score:
Comments: 400mm long seat post similar to the Syncros design. Forged 2-Bolt head clamp for a wide range of saddle adjustment. I bought this in 27.2mm size to fit both the Prince Albert and the titanium frame. A great price too.

A really nice finish on the stem and the inline position shortens the top tube length on both large frames. The 2-bolt head clamp allows infinitesimal adjustment of seat angle and is also much more secure than the single bolt design of the Truvativ which was constantly slipping.

Truvativ single clamp seat post

Price Paid: £14-99
Length of use: 6 months (August 2004 - October 2006)
Overall Score:
Comments: Truvativ 27.2mm seat post (length 350mm)

A very reasonably priced seatpost bought in 27.2mm size to fit the dialled bikes Prince Albert frame. Performed well although the layback tended to give a stretched out position on the large frame. The single bolt design of the Truvativ tended to slip backwards and leave the saddle in a 'pointing to the stars' position. But overall, no complaints for the cost and I only bought a new post when this one bent after two years hard use.
