We had a chance to do whatever great rides with the new Crank Brothers Kronolog descending post. This place is the stylish entry in this essential and combative collection of Dropping or Height Adjustable Seatposts.
Here’s a quick recording reveal we shot on location at the San Juan Trail in Southern California:

The alive specs on the Kronolog are:
Msrp: $300
Weight: 465g + 28g (30.9mm + remote*), 477g + 28g (31.6mm + remote*)
Travel: 125mm / 5in
Adjustment type: standard mechanical agitate cable
Diameters: 30.9mm and 31.6mm
Warranty :Â 2 eld with comely maintenance
After a few rides, this is what Mtbr thinks of the Kronolog
Strengths:
- Smooth tumbler state with reddened tumbler obligate required
- Up and downbound state is very uncreased and conformable with bottom effort and stiction.
- No lateral to lateral play at the saddle
- There are unlimited peak positions between set and fivesome inches
- Seatpost raises up alacritous but slows downbound in the terminal inch of movement to prevent harming the rider
- Saddle is locked when downbound so there is no creeping up behavior and the bike crapper be lifted up with the saddle.
- Cable routing is clean with no movement in the cable when seatpost is lowered.
- Cable routing crapper go in face or behind the seapost.
- Seatpost clamp is no equilibrize and is conformable with the statistic with all-mountain bikes
- Fatigue proven to the highest standards
- Maximum movement crapper be low with interior shims
Weaknesses:
- Minimum exposed seatpost peak is broad at 5 inches + 2 inches to allow the traveller to get the flooded 5 inches of  adjustability.  As a workaround, the max peak of the place crapper be low with interior shims.
- There is no local tumbler option available
- No 27.2 mm filler avaialble yet.
Bottom line:
The most essential characteristic of a descending place is uncreased state and ease of use. It has to be rattling easy and conformable to ingest for it to be an trenchant agency in our rides since we ofttimes need it on those ‘oh snap’ moments. The more illogical and hassle-free it is, the more the traveller is likely to ingest the descending post. The Kronolog tumbler is illogical and easy to activate and the seatpost goes up and downbound without such drama. Â The state seems rattling precise and uncreased so we conceive this will become a great associate for not exclusive descenders but also interbreed land riders. Â Heck, I rattling conceive my kid and my dad would savor biking such more if they had this agency .
We haw very well have a contender here in this coveted and growing category. It’s every a question of durability and reliability now. Crank Brothers has scholarly a ton from their  experience with the Joplin and they’ve taken every  measure to improve and stress test the Kronolog.  It’s every up the disagreeable world of real-world consumer investigating now. From what we’ve seen and proven so far, this looks like a winner.
