Pros & Cons
Pros
The seat post is about 1/2 below the maximum height line and is doing fine with my 230lb weight. The average ride is 10-30 miles when it goes out. Good luck and ride safe.
A 5 mm allen wrench does it all. It's fully adjustable, angles etc, all using hex keys. These 2 bolt solutions are the best to keep your seats angled the way you want them to be.
What is the finish of the inserted tube like? Nice post. Nice seat post.
From the bottom of the tube to the center of the seat rail *. Easy to adjust the pitch (up/down angle) of the saddle. It slides into the frame and * securely.
Cons
Aluminum is not appropriate for heavyweights who ride a lot. Seat posts with one bolt are simpler and more reliable than this two-bolt design.

Anything with the origin 8 brand will be of excellent quality
The wheel was bent so badly that i was barely able to limp it home with the vbrakes removed and pads released

8 and i wasnt going to pay what people wanted for a used thomson 410mm 26
Shipping
It was shipped to me super fast
Competitiveness
Love origin8 products and using them more than other products on the market
Great alternative to the thomson seat post
But it but it had less than 100 miles on it and seemed to be comparable with some new bikes in the 500 and up range
It is also relatively easy to use compared to less expensive seat posts
