Onza seat post info

[development_cycle]

curious to be reminded what these were called, if anyone has pic's or catalogue scans. I am referring to the one that could be adjusted without tools, a sort of twist mechanism near the top of the post. Seen them in silver and black, no luck searching on here so far.

It be called Rigor Mortis still.
turn the star thing/quick release style bolt depending on year on the top, then use it's Quick Release thing to tighten/release it in future.

The look changed a little through the years.

the Onza seatpost I have is completely different than that. It screws onto the top and uses no tools.

maybe called the NADS?

I had one on my Cannondale which I sold a while back before I joined RB. You are right, no tools required, you turned the saddle which tightened the clamp. Cannot remember what they were called though.

There has been a fair few of that style sold on here, must be a modern style as I do not remember it. Modern could well be late 90's though

Inigo had a a set of them some time back, but they look like they have a bolt in the (the black one anyway, and the Lite mentions a fixing bolt missing.

Just called it PRO

so I believe it came around '97 made them called PRO and Lite and teh design was by NADS and Onza licensed it/bought them out/re-branded them from NADS. They where not actually called NADS (the Onza ones).

I had the DH Stout model! nothing to do with my rad riding style more to do with my expanding waistline and habit of bending lightweight posts.
