Lexon seems to be a pretty good brand, but that seatpost scares me! One little ol' crack and you'll have a carbon spear through your nether regions. At least, that's what my brain thinks when it sees those tiny chinese carbon spars pointing up towards where you store the nether regions.

It feels absolutely fine for road use, I'm not DHing on it of course. should have waited a year for the Elita One take on it, looks a bit better. The Ergon / Canyon clone seems to be the most flexy tho.

Sure, but it's not *that* crazy. I admit, possibly not ideal. But... I'm in favor of someone experimenting and finding more shit to slap those BOAs on. Every now and again they find something new that is freaking amazing. Like my Silca seat bag with the BOA style strap (at least, it says Silca - no idea if it's a fake or not). A BOA strap bag is freaking amazing, and I'm surprised there aren't way, way more of them. There are starting to be a few others available, but DANG is it nice to not f*ck around with velcro.

I have the same one, it's not bad however it is a fake. Someone at a group ride had the real deal, quality definitely noticeable.

They say this is only compatible with Dura Ace and Ultegra. I wonder if I could get away with using it on 105...

The Elite One indeed has two plates / adapters for 7x7 mm or 7x9mm rails.

Yes, their regular seatpost are like that too and works well with my ryet seat so we’ll see about that one.

The original is Dura-ace and ultegra to. There is a seperate one for 105. I would not try it :)

Do you have a link to the 105 model? I can't find it in that seller's catalog.

The other thing is, I would like to run a shorter cage than the 105 di2 which Shimano says has a minimum low gear of 34T. I'd really like to run an 11-30 or 11-32.

I don't have a link, i was refering to the original ceramic speed that has a 105 model :)

Original is DuraAce and Ultegra 12-Speed - they state that is`s compatible with 11x DA (R9100) and Ultegra (R8000) as well. Has anyone tried that?
