Supposed to come out in February of 2011, so nobody's riding it yet (except some "beta" testers or sponsored racers, maybe...  ).

Guys,
Beta testing has gone extremely well on this post.
We wanted to make sure the product was completely dialed before we made it available to the public.
Look for it in shops by the end of February--I think you'll be impressed with its performance.

It's a Crank Brothers Joplin knock off. The CB version with the lever is slightly lighter and more practical to use, IMHO.

It is the furthest thing from a CB knock off. Using the above logic, all adjustable posts would be a CB knock off...
Besides, you haven't even seen it yet.

Wish they'd also have a couple color selections... I'd like to get a red one though for color accents...

I know that sucks but no matter how long I can hold off until the Switch arrives the thought of you guys all shredding the trails & enjoying your adjustable posts is killing me!!! LoL!
Guess, i'd soon be pursuaded to go & get the KS i950r instead!

Care to elaborate on that?
Better to have and not need it, than to need it and not have it.

Everything would be a GravityDropper knock off.....they got in first, and are still the best.

Clearly the first is always the best

This is the first one I can recall…
As for the Reverb, I recently purchased one and couldn't be happier. I previously owned an AMP, which worked, but nowhere near as well as the Reverb...

I agree they are also the easiest to maintain and even if they fail you out in the middle of nowhere (I never heard a story of GD failing) you can always have them stay fully extended and ride home

Ok so I got one GIANT contact switch seat-post and after only using it 3 times I am happy with they way it works so far I haven't had any problems and coming from a gravity dropper I do like the infinite adjustment.

Incase your seat post did not come with a lever bolt , you can use the bolt from Hayes Stroker .
