Hi,
I was going to buy a Rockshox Reverb adjustable seat post but a colleague told me he has tried a whole bunch and recommends the Kindshock i950. I will be honest, I have never heard of Kindshock. Does anyone have any experience of these? Would you buy the Kindshock or the Rockshox?
I don't know if this matters but I will be buying im the US as i have a business trip there next week. For an adjustable seat post, which I guess will need servicing, is this ok to do in your opinion or should I pay the extra and just buy in the UK?
Thanks

If buying the i950 buy in the UK. They need servicing occasionally and you want an intact warranty.
No idea on the RS, could be interestingWhy would I care about 150g of bike weight, I just ate 400g of cookies while reading this?0 -

I'm stuck between the same two choices (although both UK) and at the moment, I'm preferring the idea of the Reverb. Simply due to Rockshox's experience in manufacturing - and sealing - products based on similar principles. The reverb is out of stock anywhere that has it at a good price though.Previously: '96 GT Avalanche + RS Mag21, '97 GT LTS 1, '02 Specialized Enduro Comp, Ellsworth Id Custom Build.
