I was all set to get one until I borrowed a mate's bike with one fitted. It was fine, worked fine, fine fine, just felt a bit agricultural compared to a Reverb. So I got a 200mm 1x C1 from one of the German sites for about £235 I think, it's got the bleed port which should hopefully solve the Reverb's biggest failing. Just feels smoother and more solid to me, depends what you want from a seatpost I guess. Bleeding isn't an issue for me as unless they go wrong (wait for it...) I've always found Reverbs completely maintenance free once fitted
I never had much bother with any of the half a dozen or so reverbs I've had, but in no way does the OneUp feel 'agricultural' compared to them.
I have a v2 OneUp and a few Reverbs. I don’t find the OneUp more agricultural at all, in it’s favour I think the lever action is lighter but I prefer the more pronounced clunk from the Reverb when it extends letting me know it’s up. I'm happy to use either
Opinions eh.....
True. You get those OneUp bars? Be interested to know what you think of them
Yeah, so much is perception. One qualifier though, the C1 actuates noticeably easier than the last B1 I had so that might explain some of the difference. As I said there was nothing wrong with the Oneup and with the CS still look to be unbeatable VFM
I did get the bars and really like them, defo take some sting out of the trail - my wrists are pretty battered though, others might not notice so much difference. Not noticed any loss of steering precision
To be fair to OneUp they've now got back to me (it seems an email delivery issue... the same I have with @stw from my email server, must get that sorted...) and they've shipped express the parts that didn't turn up the first time, despite the local delivery company claiming they'd been put in my letterbox.
Top marks for the service, let's see if the service kit and oversize pins make a difference to the post...
