I'd agree with bar and stem, but do have a soft spot for the collars

I'd say that while the stems and posts are simply unnecessary, the collars are actually evil. The correct attributes for a seat post clamp are minimal bending stiffness and a way to keep the screw straight, and the Thomson fails on both counts.

"This fastener combination allows float on both sides of the collar slot ensuring consistent clamping force."

I don't know nuffink 'bout engineering (quote to here) but I'd take the Thomson over the piddling little carbon thing up thread.

Furry muff, I didn't know they had a barrel nut. Still as ugly as sin and the shape departs for no good reason (other than to add extra ugliness) from a simple flat band which is the correct shape to generate uniform radial force.
