Really smooths out the ride on my aluminum-frame road bike. Using the standard elastomer and it's working great, but might try a softer one at some point to satisfy my curiosity -- the ability to adjust the stiffness is a major plus. And pleased to report no noise or other problems. Excellent in every way!

I wanted the Ergon because of its elegance.

I wanted the eeSilk+ because more damping and travel. Then an eeSilk came up and boy am i happy about it! I don‘t even notice it‘s there, but takes the edge out of the hits i don‘t expect coming. Just what my whiney back needs. and looks great!
