I want a nice carbon setback post for my XC HT and I've narrowed it down to a choice of two, the Easton EC70 or the Superstar Xenon, the former being £80 and the latter £53.

If you were buying, which one would you get?

On a side note I've got EC70 bars & an EA70 stem

In the grand, SIngletrack tradition of providing advice that bears little resemblance to what was asked..

Syntace P6 Hi-Flex : [url= https://www.syntace.com/index.cfm?pid=3&pk=2033 ]See here[/url]

Awesome seatpost and Syntace quality is the best in the business..

I'd go Easton, cos it's a bit of bling and Easton is a blingier name than superstar. Unless the 30 quid price difference is a stretch for you, in which case the superstar will be just fine as long as you don't fit it with a rock.

Edit. And now I've properly read your post, deffo Easton. Matching collars and cuffs and all that.

That's a shame Andy.

Good suggestion DTF but it doesn't match 😯

Doesn't match what? It's black!!! Acetone will remove the logos if you wish. Looks nicer than that EC70 thing.
