[/quote] We first produced solid metal prototypes as a proof of concept back in the early months of this year. These were solid and tested very well. So we proceeded to open the carbon molds several months ago. Those molds are finished and the first pulls have come out. I will post pictures in the next few days. We are finalizing layup and doing fatigue testing right now.

Yes we tested the post wedge, back during the metal prototyping phase, and are working to ensure the carbon version performs the same as the metal prototypes. It’s not functionally different in mechanism from seatposts you see on MANY bikes. And actually does one better because the force goes directly perpendicular to the post’s telescope axis (seatposts wedges have to be slightly off-perpendicular due to the geometry there, which saps them of a little force).[/quote]

that monopost just reminds me of a typical seatpost you find on a gym bike: one knob to turn and lift the seat higher or lower. this might be great for a bike fitter using it on a jig or aero testing but i'd be reluctant to use this out on the road until fully tested.

in essence Tririg are using a seatpost clamp on the front of the bike, despite there being known issues with certain seatposts slipping.

and it looks like Tririg are happy to take customers money now, with a delivery date in March, not having fully tested a final version of this product: isn't that what they did with the omni?

good luck to anyone putting their money down now.

i'd probably have a different view if this was a 3T or Profile Design product.
