Review on ๐Ÿšฒ FOMTOR Adjustable Bicycle Seat Post 25.4/27.2/28.6/30.9 x 350mm - Alumium Seatpost for Mountain, Road, and BMX Bikes by Jason Rogness

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Cheap but good at seatposts

I bought these to upgrade a fixed angle seatpost on an older Schwinn so it's already an upgrade from the original. Just got it, just installed, just set up and asked my daughter to try it as it's for her. Now she really likes the seat angle as the stem angle was pretty positive. When he"almost flat". will he break I don't know, but not in my application. I actually had to cut about 5 inches off the post to allow it to fully sink into the frame, so mine most likely won't break. When I cut the pipe it was quite thick so if it breaks it may break if sticking out hard and under heavy use. Why did I give this product 3 stars? He's pretty clumsy. All the seatposts I've ever dealt with haven't felt this clunky. My mom's old bike was all steel parts and even though the seatpost broke into about 500 pieces, it didn't feel bulky. This seat post consists of only 4 parts, not counting the screw. It might have been less bulky and cheaper if it was 3 pieces and had a bolt and hex nut. All the aluminum castings were fitted together (which is good) but since they are all cast aluminum they had to be thick 4 pieces if the casting was thick is --> bulky. It was very difficult to fit all of this into the seat tracks and then twist a few parts into position, I'm sure you understand, after all you don't have to fiddle with it when it's done again unless the bolt pops again find out what happens from time to time.
