The post that re-wrote the standards for strength and lightweight! Extruded and machined one-piece pillar/lower cradle-not bonded like other designs! No layback.

Everyone knows that Thomson is one of the best. If you prefer Grey Poupon over regular mustard, this is the post for you.

It's tops when it comes to manufacturing excellence and simplicity in design. It's very strong but light (it's 41g lighter than my old post, a 6061-T6 Amoeba). It's not the lightest though if you're a weight weenie. I have never experienced andy loosening that the other reviewer mentioned. Maybe he should try torquing or using Loctite.

Pros:
Popular brand if you're into name dropping. Pretty light.
Cons:
The thing keeps coming loose. I've spent countless hours on the trail tightening the stupid two-bolt clamp design.

I rode it for years dealing with the hassles of tightening my seat every ride. I finally wised up and got a new post. Eveyone swears by these things, but it just never worked for me.
