Anyone try these? Went for short ride (post back surgery) and bumps don't like me. Don't need lot travel. If someone has one getting rid of pm me!

Check out Redshift. They have posts that might help. I use one on my gravel bike. You can really tell the difference. Do you need a 27.2?

Ergon yes, Redshift yes +1. RS offers a bit more cush, ergon the nicer aesthetics

I have one (well, a knockoff version) and I absolutely love it. My only beef is that in order to adjust the saddle tilt you need to pull the post out of the bike, and over time the set bolt inside can loosen, allowing the tilt to change. But it works brilliantly on the bike.

Had one on an old Canyon I owned. You definitely feel a softening effect. The first time I rode it I kept looking down to see if my rear tire was going flat.

Ha! I wind up doing that every time I go from gravel/singletrack to pavement.

The eeSllk works well, too. Takes the edge off. The redshift even more so.

IME worth the investment. Back issues after several vertebral fractures (bike crash ‘15) made this post a must for a couple of my bikes.

Especially this Moots. Great bike but stiff rear end.



A caveat: you do need a fair amount of post showing to take full advantage.

I ride that post on my gravel bike and like it. The back of our tandem has a Cane Creek Thudbuster, which the stoker likes, but I haven't tried it personally. The Ergon/Canyon one is much lighter, but doesn't have nearly as much travel.

Had a copy model for awhile as well. Hardware issues like you mention (especially the cradle) made me decide to buy the real thing. Smart move.

Glad to hear it; that issue had somewhat held me off from stepping up to the real thing.
