oops my bad...

Taken from their web page www.titec.com:
"Titec’s exclusive Knock-Rated parts are covered against riding damage for three years from proof of the original purchase date. Jumping, crashing, hucking, you name it. You ride it. If you can break it, we replace it for free. Simple as that."

still pretty damned good :)

p.s. make sure ya get a post w/ 2 bolt design

I'd say Funn. Splined adjustment and the post itself is steel.

Diabolus. I have been running it for a year, you will snap any seat right off the rails before you break this post.

I have. Totally fuxxored a seat. The Diabolus clamps much differently than most single/double bolt clamps. It's solid, and the clampinging doesn't loosen over time.

The Axiom seat post is also pretty good for the money. Haven't had a problem with them, and I've broken a few posts.

OK, how many respondants have used both a Thompson and a Diabolus? I've not used a Thompson for any length of time, and am interested in how it compares.
