Seat posts...

I'm thinking about a new seat post for my road bike, and saw this:

I generally prefer posts with two screws as they are easier to adjust, and less likely to fall off if a screw comes loose. Is this just the mountain-biker in me, and should I go ahead and get one of these fsa stems, or should I stick to my guns and get something with two screws?

Those posts are fine, I have a 350mm (larger diameter) carbon one. I've had to change it as I needed an online one. Been on my bike for a couple of weeks, you can have it for £15 if you want.

Sorry, forgot about this post. The diam of mine is 27.2mm, so not the larger one like I said.

Cheers,

Mark.

I've just changed a single bolt bontrager for an Easton Haven (same as EA70) on my MTB the single bontrager clamp bolt snapped whilst out on a ride, not fun.
