I had one and it was just ok. Took a chance on it, because it was at a similarly bargainous price as the auction you've picked out.

However, the remote quickly got stiff and the remote lever is a bit short so took a lot of force to activate. Once it got clogged up with grime, and on a cold wet ride, it was too stiff to operate with my thumb.

I also had it fitted to carbon bars and I was a bit wary of overtightening it. As a result it seemed to slip quite often.

If you're prepared to take the time keeping it smooth and accept its cheap for a reason then it'll do the job.

However, I'd say a second hand X-Fusion Hilo would be a better bet and you should be able to get one for about the same price.

i can get a used ks i900 for about the same cash but it was just having a "warranty" (i know what ebayones are worth sometimes!) and the fact it was brand new... dont mind keeping it clean and lubed....how did you find it overall apart from the remote issues? play ect.....

I can't remember certainly but I didn't use it for long enough for it to go any more wobbly than the X-Fusions I've had or the KS one I also had briefly come to think of it. I think the post itself got a bit scratchy though when dirty.

Where are you based? Cos, how easy will warranty issues be if you have to send it back from UK to Australia?

I think the KS post would be a much better option even secondhand.

The remote issues made it horrible to use when it started to seize up on a ride. You just wouldn't want to use it and that kind of defeats the purpose doesn't it?
