Crank Brothers  Joplin L Seatpost

The best invention to hit the mountain bike scene in years! I love being able to raise and lower my seat as often as I want as the trail conditions change. My favourite features are how smoothly it returns to it's fully extended position as well as the ability to set your seat to any height, unlike some posts that only have a bottom, middle and fully extended position. The single bolt seat clamp on the Joplin is easy to use, infinitely adjustable, it doesn't move and it looks amazing. The craftsmanship and finish, like on most CB items, is great! The only negative is you must be diligent at keeping it clean (wiping the mud and dirt that gets flicked up onto it from the rear tire) or it will start to act up. Even after keeping it as clean as possible I still had to service it after about 6 months of regular usage. I was able to find detailed over-haul instructions on line and serviced it myself, saving a few bucks. Get one you will not regret it.
