Hey! I bought the 400mm version which is likely better suited to MTB. The rough area is where the clamping is more likely to take place. Since I used it on my gravel bike it was a little lower into the frame and missed the clamp area. I used a bit of carbon paste and it held well. Hope this helps!
for the next time you weigh parts on camera: your scale is ~11lb maximum. Try putting a smallish tupperware basket on scale, taring it out, and putting parts in the basket - Less messing about trying to get it to balance on the scale! thanks for the video man!
Hi nice explanation 👌 When you can and with further test drives pls give the feedback about the resistance/quality and durability of the seat post. I would like to know if does chinese items are safe to use 👍 Cheers 🍻

CATEGORICALLY NOT. Check authoritative website with pictures of these broken, and stories of people that impaled themselves as they crumble under load. Bum goes down on? YES exactly! Most serious case was artery severed and near death. I got three of these, evaluated them carefully, three different shop, they are run of the mill baked T800. You could buy fibers, coat and wrap around the mold, but would not be safe. The weight is the biggest indicator of danger. T800 thin and light will crack badly, suddenly.
The weight saving will expose you to serious risk. Just tested 3 including this one, and they are cheap replicas. When they break, you risk a severe injury and self impalement if the issue occurs under load. it will collapse downwards, seat to the side and what will go into the pointy chop? Ample websites of these with pictures of these broken, and stories of people that impaled themselves as they crumble under load. Bum goes down on? YES exactly!

Hi! I wonder if these types of seatposts aren't the best in a MTB application? I used on a CX frame where the insertion point was much higher (less post showing above the frame) and didn't have any issues. My one issue was actually that it was a zero offset and I just couldn't get the saddle back far enough. I just swapped for a different post a week or so ago.
Mike Naus They are categorically not. the solutions is A get a ultra light aluminium Alloy that should never break and B, Approved real OEM carbon. MTB transmits exponentially more shocks vibrations and more G forces on that stem. Consequently a good brand Alloy or carbon is a minumum. sounds like you need a 25 mm offset or calculate what you need min 20 mm offset. honestly the best is buying them at proper EU online stores that often bring these at 50%. just got a Deda superlegerro 0 offset 27 mm seatpost, half price at 100$.
I have one of these that I bought from a friend. I understand that the seat clamp is carbon fiber as well. How many NM's are you supposed to tighten that clamp? I can't find the data anywhere.
Hey! I suppose in theory! I have actually only been outside with this new seatpost once so I don't have much of a review just yet, but I'll leave a longer comment when I get a chance to ride more.
Cycleabout has a long article on seatposts. Basically yes but it depends on design for the kinds of deflection you want (high freq low or bigger ones).
Good one yes. Bad one will crack and have your bum impaled in a worst case. Check the forums. Snap OUCCH! Now, real ones cost x6 more, but are real. Certified. QC and proper resins. Replicas? Well, they may handle a 45 kg Chinese rider, not a 70 kg caucasian..
I use the same seat post for 6 months And it didn't broke under my usage But i notice the post is flexing about 15-20mm if the post is near at maximum insertion point I hope my post will last for years
Hi, thanks for the question! I used this seatpost with no issues on my gravel setup last year, but ultimately swapped it out. Main reason was the EC90 I ordered was zero offset and I just couldn't get my seat in right position. After swapping it I did notice a difference in ride feel - the EC90 being a softer, more flex ride. You can check my updated video on all EC90 products where I go in a little more depth. If you order let me know how it goes on the MTB!
Hi! I've actually just recently swapped to a different seatpost. One thing I didn't think about when ordering was the zero offset and I just couldn't get the seat back far enough. No issues for the several months of riding and I did end up cutting approximately 5cm from the length.
I haven't noticed a large amount of flex out of it, but I also have a limited amount above frame. I'll measure it later and let you know exactly how much!
Hi! I think this length (400mm) is meant for MTB frames? I don't see why it couldn't be used. I do notice some comments on excessive flex with the post but I used at a pretty far insertion point and didn't notice any issues.
Bro, What is the purpose of the rough section in the seatpost?? I hope you'll notice. 😊

Great tip! Lol I struggled with that one.
I bought a Toseek carbon post from Aliexpress. Took 5.5 ounces off the bike, for $22.

My seat clamp is aluminum/metal. I just tightened til saddle didn't move
It will make a huge difference if you replace the bolts to titanium. Stock ones noticeably heavy.
Does the carbon seatpost absorbs more the vibrations and stuff?, thanks.

on mtb, doing jumps?
How much do you weigh? Is the post holding up? Got one recently and haven’t used it yet. Appreciate your reponse
Accent Execute Pro 30,9 - 200g aluminium for me 110kg Perfect!
After all these time, what's your experience with this seatpost? I'm thinking about order it to my mtb.

Hey bro I want that Seatpost
he's even wearing Karbon
can be this good on trail?
I've switched it back onto my CX bike with no issues, but trail might be tougher on a bike?
no stress test ?
I can do.. but not sure how to... Any thought?
Will there be a ride review on the seat post?

Just curious with the carbon clamp, how many nm's did you tighten the clamp?
I'd have to double check the post but I would guess around 6nm?
What size?
What are the torque specs on the clamp. Did you use carbon paste? Installing mine.
Hi, I used the torque specs from the frame collar. I believe 6nm but it might have been slightly lower. And yes to carbon paste!
Is it safe enough for long touring?
I've had no issues so far!
Do you think that it can be flexible
I haven't noticed a large amount of flex out of it, but I also have a limited amount above frame. I'll measure it later and let you know exactly how much!
Any trouble tightening the clamps and leveling the saddle? I noticed one screw tightens from the top and one from the bottom.
Hi, I'd have to review the video but they both tighten from bottom. They might have sent one installed upside down? No issues with it!
@@mikenaus From the picture in the Aliexpress link, the forward screw head is on top. That's why I asked.
This seems to be the one with both screws on the under side: www.aliexpress.com/item/32860908920.html
Hey bro, can we use that for cross country frame?
Hi! I think this length (400mm) is meant for MTB frames? I don't see why it couldn't be used. I do notice some comments on excessive flex with the post but I used at a pretty far insertion point and didn't notice any issues.
What is the diameter
I bought the 27.2mm version!
Goddamn, save 1/4lb on a seatpost? for $25? Does it break in half?
Nah still in one piece
You weighed it, big deal
Who knows maybe someone wanted that info
