These posts make great enhancements to endurance road bikes by reducing the chatter transmitted from the surface to the rider and can be tuned to rider weight through a simple elastomer change. #5 elastomer comes pre-installed, other weight elastomers sold separately.

Highlights:

  • Bolt-on compliance: Up to 20mm of travel to add comfort and compliance on endurance road and mixed-surface rides without adding unnecessary weight to the bike
  • Parallel-linkage design: Parallel linkage technology stays in the direct path of the natural travel of the rear wheel. As a bump lifts the back of the bicycle, the rear wheel pushes up and forward into the rider.
  • Easy elastomer change: The eeSilk seatpost can be tuned for different rider weights and riding styles by selecting the elastomer that best fits rider needs and preferences.

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!
