I hear what your saying ( i wrote alloy because i had i mind fart and couldn't think how to spell aluminum. But seriously for such an important part or of the tube working on such fine tolerances a knurled steel insert such have been used before this product was released. There is no way that the problem pinbike found is going to be a 'one off'

The Dakine small rubber print was all over the bag but most of it has come off from washing. But at this price in brilliant working condition it still looks pretty good though. About 38cm in length.

The clear lense fitted is 1 ride old . the smoked lense has been used about 3 times, the orange about 8 rides and there is a new unfitted clear lense too. Frame and strap are in top condition.

Crankbrothers Kronolog Telescoping Seat Post - Tested

I'm well gutted, feels like ages since first hearing about the kronolog and now so close to me actually buying mine i find out there is a major fault with what seemed like the perfect post for me. I was willing to pay the £220 but with the possibility of the knurled upper post getting damaged within a few months and CrankBothers blaming the owner instead of the stuipid mistake of not using a stainless steel insert for the knurled section instead of alloy. I hate all dropper posts where the cable/piping go to the upper tube/seat clamp ( which again i consider to be a huge design flaw ) so now i'm wondering if i'll ever buy a dropper post :( GUTTED !!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry I didn't respond I just noted you post on my dash. I dont normally use it. I see you got your answer about the CB Kronolog. Mine has already gone back to CB for warrenty. I am buying the KS Lev post.
