salsa quick release

This is THE clamp. No longer the only one (Azonic has a similar one
out), but still the best. Far better than the Sun in every way.

I don't know if there is a size that will fit the DX, though I'm
guessing there is. What's the OD of your seat tube?

You don't need to bring an allen wrench with you when ever you go
riding. It is easier to move your seat and stuff. The salsa is probably
the strongest and holds the seat in place better than all the other
crappy QR clamps.

It is also much more sleak, and therefore not as bulky as other more
dangerous clamps

Are QR clamps OK for trials stuff?

I've been using a double bolt clamp and my seat always used to twist :P

To the optimist, the glass is half full.
To the pessimist, the glass is half empty.
To the IT guy, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

They dont look bad, if you get the right size for your DX, then go for
it.

As for the bringing the allen wrench with me, usually if I wreck, i
catch the uni, or never let go so the seat and the uni dont crash down,
and I have my post clamp on tight enough that the seat cant twist,
seriously, if you try to twist the seat right now, its either gonna rip
the saddle off, or put so much force into the seat tube that it will
snap off at the welding, and with it that tight, there's no need to
bring an allen wrench.

I've been using the 'standard aluminium QR' (http://tinyurl.com/fjrv2)
for muni for ages and that's been fine. The cheap steel one was strong
enough while it lasted, but it broke through fatigue in the end.

Never argue with an idiot; they drag you down to their level and then
beat you with experience.

The lever looks a little long, like it would poke you in the leg if you
were near to it.

Rock on!

The Salsa is good but it wears out much too fast. I go through three a
year, which is BS. They gotta make the hinge/round part out of more
durable steel or something. Unlocking and locking is what wears the
thing out.

Grit is the enemy of the cam surface on the Flip-Lok. If you keep it
cleaned out and lubed with a dab of grease or anti-sieze it can last a
long time. My first one wore out fairly quickly, but I have been on my
second one for several years now by taking care of it. Actually, I
seldom adjust my seat hieght anymore, but I still don't want a clamp
that requires a tool.

Remember that if JL only goes through 3 of something a year, it's
pretty tough. He is not exactly easy on his equipment. 🙂
