I also had a similar one with a different clamp design but I couldn't tighten the cups enough to hold the saddle. It slipped at basically every road bump. I changed to one of these and have no regrets since. Except for the fact that I had to change one too long screw because it drilled into the carbon shell of my saddle

i have the same elita one ande it's very good, i also changed the screw with some black titanium one for the look and weight reduction. i have as well this https://bit.ly/3sU7E0T which is incredibly light and well made. for china carbon seatpost elita one is the bee's knees

Thanks, that was the one I was originally looking at. In hindsight it is a better design, if the clamp fails to serve its purpose I'll reconsider! Had the same screw problem with my stock alloy seatpost.

Got an aliexpress carbon 25mm layback seatpost 27.2x350mm. Good bits; came in about 2 weeks , has a lot of good reviews, weighs 180g, looks quite nice, didnt slip on first 16miles so far with seatclamp at 5nm. Bad bits; epoxy spilled out onto bonded alu ring and had to be cut out with a knife to get clamp to fit, largest diameter on it is 27.00 smallest is 26.8, have to really over tighten the rail clamp to stop saddle moving (probs not good if you have a carbon rail).
