Key Impressions

"The PNW has been very consistent regardless of temperature. Speed wise, it's probably just a touch slower than a well bled Reverb, but that works for me being that I'd like to keep the family jewels intact. I don't notice any play at the seat clamp, and it hasn't sagged on me at all. One of the biggest reasons I went for this post was the [low] stack height. Ultimately I would say that the PNW Cascade is a great seatpost for a variety of reasons, and the biggest one is that I don't notice it when I'm riding. I can press the lever and the post goes where I want it without hesitation." - cmmahnke
