Is that the one with the 2 small allen bolts holding the 2 small ally parts together? If so, once it
is on, I never have a problem with it,though it is a pain to get it set right.

Yes, it is. It was a royal pain to set up, and it's not particularly gentle on the seat rails. But once it's on, I guess you don't need to fiddle with it much.

I think for on-road use it would be pretty useless, but I've got a Use SX on my cyclo-cross bike,
and it makes a hell of a difference - I can stay seated on some bumps where before I had to stand up
to go over them. Alan.

Right again. I was hoping to see some benefit on my road bike, thinking it might absorb some of the smaller, higher frequency stuff. Mostly, what it did was add weight.
