I have used carbon seatposts from:

Deda
Enve
FSA
Easton
Ritchey
Zipp

And probably others I can't recall at the moment. My favorite was Deda Superzero. Least favorite was Enve (the one bolt head slipped, which they have since changed). Ritchey Superlogic is also very nice.

I used 3T until I got a carbon rail saddle, which doesn't work well with 3T clamps. I switched to Specialized for the time being but I'll upgrade at some point to a lighter one

I've got Enve's new two bolt design. Nice post, no complaints so far. Well, only complaint might be its a tad long in the stock length. Guess I could cut it down, but I'm also lazy.

You want a nice inexpensive carbon seatpost?

Here is one that I was impressed with for the price.

Ritchey, just Ritchey. Combined with the Ritchey Carbon bars, just perfect

I have one and hate few things more than adjusting the saddle tilt with that minuscule 8mm flat.

+1 on Syntace. Hi-Flex ones are amazing.

I will have to agree that adjusting a PMP seatpost is not the most pleasant (I have owned both the Ti and carbon versions), although an open wrench makes it manageable.

As for the Syntace Hi-Flex, I used one on a custom aluminum frame I used to own, and to be honest it never felt like it provided much better vibration dampening than the more conventional carbon seatpost it replaced. On the other hand, the FSA K-Force SB25 I used on a previous bike made a noticeable improvement.

The ritchey pro I had a few years back was super light and had good reviews about quieting the road buzz but I found it way too flexible. I couldnt find the right spot for it so the armonics did not messed up with my cadence, was super weird. Swapped for a campy aluminum and all fixed.

Anyone try the Niner RDO? Curious to hear if it actually dampens vibrations as much as they claim (oh, and is it just a rebranded Syncros)?
