This thing just works. Takes enough of the sting out of the chunder down under.

Wish they still made these in aluminum - black Friday sales made pricing acceptable but carbon is overkill on my 20 year old aluminum frame.

Regardless, these stems and seat posts are great. It's amazing that these and a nice set of 28x700 Continentals make gravel paths and driveways no issue.

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!
