Looks like some Darimo seatpost copies are popping up on AliExpress. Not sure how I feel about a $45 super light seatpost though.

Cuz there have been plenty of elite one and similar ultralight seatpost on Ali for the last couple of years. Not darimo level but that is because darimo uses some ass light hardware and 90kg limit

These have been on Ali, mostly ebay for a loooong time! They are branded Hylix on eBay. They make lots of different lightweight stuff. Not really Darimo copies... Anything light is not a copy of Darimo.LanceLegstrong wrote: ↑Tue Mar 07, 2023 9:51 pmhttps://www.aliexpress.us/item/32568049 ... _shipto=USeucalyptus wrote: ↑Tue Mar 07, 2023 9:41 pmLink?LanceLegstrong wrote: ↑Tue Mar 07, 2023 7:45 pmLooks like some Darimo seatpost copies are popping up on AliExpress.

A copy is supposed to look identical to what it is copying, that does not have Darimo logos or the appearance of Darimo
The grey UD carbon look has become synonymous with Darimo, not least since Team UAE has been running them on their Colnago bikes
The Hylix posts seem pretty good, high weight limit on paper and not a a lot heavier than Darimo https://www.ebay.com/itm/294961793292

It's a copy. They have even copied the text from Darimo's website.eucalyptus wrote: ↑Wed Mar 08, 2023 8:39 amThese have been on Ali, mostly ebay for a loooong time! They are branded Hylix on eBay.

Looks the same to me.
And the one I linked is quite different from the hylix on eBay.

Wondering if I could get a little help from the experts here.
For some reason, I feel like I'm messing up the installation of my T1 loop (I probably am). For the life of me, I cannot get either bolt down on the screw. The dyneema loops are simply too tight. My screws are at the end very of the nut. This doesn't seem right to me. For instance, in the installation video, it looks like you can screw the nuts at least halfway down. Not so with mine.
The only way I could place the loops on the nut was by loosening the nut the entire way. Then, once I tried to tighten both loops using a Wera torque wrench, I heard a horrible cracking noise before I even got close to 3nm. And that's just with the rear bolt. I can't even insert my wrench into the front bolt due to the angle.
I've attached some photos below, in case it's helpful. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? And why my front bolt is horribly angled?
I cannot go any lower than this on my bolts:
You can see the angle of the front bolt here:
I thought I installed the loops correctly, but perhaps I didn't?

For anyone wondering, the GoPro attachment from a K-Edge combo bolts right up to the Darimo IX2 computer mount.

That bar is fixed. I am also having the same issue with my new Darimo MTB seatpost. In order to get the saddle pitch the way I like it, the rear bolt has to be loosened to where it's only half inserted into the nut. I emailed them about a longer bolt but have not heard back.
