my friend just got a Canyon Spectral AL with a reverb stealth post and it twists around by a few millimetres there's no other play left-right, front-back, up down just a very slight wobble.

As its new it sounds like it might have a bit more play in than I'd be happy with. Some play is normal though.0

As said - they do have some play. Takes some time getting used to it when you are used to a normal seatpost.2007 Felt Q720 (the ratbike)

3 of my mates have Reverbs and none of them have play from side to side.Fig rolls: proof that god loves cyclists and that she wants us to do another lap0

Mine has a very slight movement (rotational) but I doubt it's even a mm. No movement side to side or front to back. Sounds like it needs to go back.__________________

it doesn't have play as such its hard to describe, you know how when you get a tight seat post in and you have to twist it backwards and forwards so the seat is a bit out of line one way then a bit out of line the other its in that plane its as If the seat is trying to twist itself around but only very very slightly by maybe a few millimetres I am assuming its ok but I just wondered. The seat post doesn't have play in any other orientation that would be concerning just feels as if the seat is very slightly lose I guess but you cant feel it whilst riding.Scott Spark 30 carbon custom build

A tiny amout of rotational play is normal. It just barely moves but enough to feel a slight knock if you wiggle it.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350

My Process came with a KS Eten which is half the price of a Reverb and it's absolutely rock solid, no movement in any direction. I'm quite impressed with it.All the gear, no idea and loving the smell of jealousy in the morning.

A degree or two of Yaw is normal.Bird Aeris : Trek Remedy 9.9 29er : Trek Procaliber 9.8 SL0

A degree or two is a lot. It's a small fraction of a degree.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350

Can you give me the exact amount then if we're being all pedantic - minutes and seconds will sufficeBird Aeris : Trek Remedy 9.9 29er : Trek Procaliber 9.8 SL0

Strictly speaking, it's a 'tad'.All the gear, no idea and loving the smell of jealousy in the morning.
