I picked up this FSA K-Force Carbon Fiber seatpost for a mere $38, saving around $100, on Amazon. I have gotten lucky in the past on deals that crop up so I didn't think much of it.
The surprise came when I tried to install it. I got it, maybe 1/4 of the way into the seat tube on the Bianchi San Jose and it wouldn't go any further. Getting it out was a little easier but not by much.
Whipping out the trusty micrometer I measure the post at 27.7 mm. So that marker there that says 27.2 mm is complete bunk!
I went to my Amazon ordering page and immediately filed a claim. Really can't tell if this is a knock off or it failed QC and wound up in the hands of some reseller. Looks like I am back to my aluminum seat post for a little while longer.
