nice ride how do you like the deus seatpost I was looking at them and just wondering how they were?

TarkMalbot replied... on 20 February 2011

Not had any problems with it at all and it matches the rest of the Deus kit. I did realise it was very very long so could chop over 30g off the bottom of it and can still run it really high for XC and road riding. The black paint does come off easily when putting up and down frequently though. Thanks for the vote!

nice, a future classic for sure, nice spec too. I'd get SPD's on it though

I now have XT M785 Trail SPD's on it. ;)

Never used SPD's although did think about them for XC use but I do like to take my feet off a lot for balance when riding logs and jumps.
