Thing they did not bank on was that the brake will always be needed, not like the option of dropping one shifter and the actuator taking it's place, you will always be left with bar clutter and regularly grabbing the wrong lever! Picture the scene..

Picture the scene.. Review: 9point8 Pulse Stepper Seatposthttp://reviews.mtbr....tepper-seatpost SummaryOn a very preliminary basis 9point8′s Pulse seatpost seems to have accomplished its goal of being a premium product. Part and parcel of being such a product is long term durability and/or customer service. This is inherently a concept with competing tensions as superior long term durability necessarily implies that a purchaser will have little experience with customer service. The Pulse post is reasonably well differentiated from competing offerings and is well-executed. It’s certainly a compelling alternative for those riders who are looking to fine tune post height in less technical trails. Nice to have choices. Edited July 12, 2013 by The Crow
