I put this baby on my steel gravel bike and the combination has been soooo smooth. I think one of the best things about this post is that I can't even tell it's there. It just soaks up the little to midsized road bumps...especially the dreaded washboard. The setback works for me and seems to give the leverage needed to set the post into a nice flex...I find myself sliding as far back on the saddle as I can when the going gets rough. I did discover the need to use some carbon paste on the saddle adjustment contact points as there was some slippage at the specified torque value without it. Problem solved. Just a great post...better be for 200 bucks! Worth ever dollar.

Wow. Didn't think this was going to make the difference it did. In such a positive way. I've now got on on both my endurance bike and my gravel grinder. It really manages that small bump sensitivity .
