@Comatosegi: OneUp themselves openly claimed in their press release here on PB that their V3 is smoother than the Revive. I own of two OneUp V3. I can just say that I'm looking forward to any independent comparison.

Ok, just one little thought: Imagine a seatclamp that is infintely stiff and which, even when applying 100Nm of torque would not "change its shape": Would it clamp your seattube? To be completely honest: If your seattube is properly sized on the ID (and that is the single most important thing), any seatclamp of any make should work just fine. Typically, posts are not off of nominal by more than 0.1mm in diameter. Seattubes on the other hand... I've seen things... 30.9 seattubes reamed to more than 31.4. Needless to say this is no bueno.

DIVINE is a different post but not any less reliable by design than the REVIVE. What were the issues, if I may ask? You can post it here, no problem. Can you also send us a message to service@bikeyoke.com, too? We will try to have you sorted.

@Adrianrisa: Return speed should be plenty fast and certainly have no reason to complain about. Can you make a video and send us a link to it to service@bikeyoke.com. I'd like to have a look at it, as there must be something wrong if you have to complain about return speed.

@valrock: Thank you, we'll try to keep doing what we're doing. Maybe I misunderstod then. I simply responded to your wording: "Cost of replacement has already been paid by you" This implies that we're charging the customer upfront to be able to cover our cost of potential future warranty claims or issues. That is simply not the case or at least not in the case how it is worded. Every company needs to factor in service cost when doing pricing. But it certainly does not affect BikeYoke pricing affect the way you suggest. I explained why our droppers cost the way they cost. And by the overwhelming feedback in this article it looks like many customers seem to think that our posts are doing something better than others. And regarding to "small company marketing": It does not matter how small or how big the company is. I would like to point out that I have not brought up any names of the companies you are mentioning, but I would like to put some things right, because it is very important to me and to what we are doing and no: You can not apply all what I said to the companies you mentioned, because we build our own droppers ourselves.

Can you send me a PM with yoru contact information, please? I'd like to have a look into this case. At this time, if you were in contact with us, you wmust have been in contact with me. If your post was less than two years old, it should have been covered by warranty and I am not sure why I would have advised you to do it yourself. Maybe there is still something I can do for you.

Thank you so much! So nice to hear!

We're on it. But why not more?

@HeatedRotor: Well, a longer version is in the works. And just a few posts ago I had explained why it does not come right away with the introduction of the 3.0. So yeah, it does make sense. You just need to read, like others have sugested. Actually, this was all mentioned in the press release, but unfortunately not mentioned here in the article. Apart from that: I am one of the people putting up with shorter ones. And not because of lack of option, but because I choose to. I have obiously tried longer ones and I am currently on REVIVE >213 on one of my bikes but it is simply too much for me. When dropping you need to get really low into a deep squat and it takes a lot more effort to get back up once you squat over a certain point. On the other hand, it does not provide any more more benefits to me. I use my saddle a lot for steeering and controlling the bike under me. With the saddle too far down, I am loosing a lot of feedback and control over the bike. I am not the only one. I guess it depends a lot on riding skills, too, as well as type of riding. So please would you leave it to each individual, wheter he keeps putting up with shorter ones or not? They might do it for a reason. Thank you! Just to give an idea: On my Norco Aurum HSP (DH bike), I CAN NOT even ride my saddle lower than 60cm from BB, otherwise the saddle will start hitting the tire somewhere near full travel. And I am just very fine with that. There are pro riders who choose to ride their saddle higher than they could.

@mrtoodles: You mean through the USP? Of course you can. Why not? Check out the USP registration on our website, please.
