Lightweight but unrideable (Product Review)

The Good

Lightweight, & the one-piece chassis can be salvaged as basis for another shot at doing it right.

The Bad

The most painful grip I've ridden in over 30yrs of MTB!

Overall Review
The one-piece design has promise and saves weight vs. alloy collars: this version is a fail, but V2 could be a win SDG manages to turn up the damping and cushion factor by several orders of magnitude.

SDG Tellis (Product Review)

The Good

Not as sensitive to clamp tightness as other posts. Lever is the lightest I have tried. Speed of the post action is controlled at the lever. Very reliable. Relatively easy to install. Great bargain.

The Bad

The lever makes a faint squeaking sound. Post action is somewhat sticky, making it slightly difficult to hit my favorite spot at the 125 mm of travel.

Overall Review
A good (not great) post because I have had better modulation with other posts I’ve tried. However, I have to give it 4.5 stars because of price. $249.99.
