I think you’re right. I had set back s-works post that I sold last year for fairly cheap. Now obvs want what I sold :(
The clamp system is pretty good, the only thing the zipp does differently/better is that one clamp fits both alloy and carbon rails.
The only reason I wouldn’t want a direct swap is that the zipp stuff holds it’s value pretty well on eBay, people are daft enough to pay it.
If I have to, I’ll probably put the stem and post up for sale on eBay :(
I’d argue the SWorks Carbon post is the best ‘normal’ carbon post going - its ears are the most flexible (in saddle rail compatibility standards), easy to micro adjust and so secure, and it’s aesthetics the most pleasing / graphics most minimal.
Not too heavy and takes a di2 battery like a champ.
Other than Darimo for special purposes, I’ve got one on every bike, even chosen over an MCFK for the Open.
If you can manage the mis-match I’d do it!
