function over form. cable housings don't get in my way and easy acces to the controls. works for me
Adjustable seat post people...

for mine, i have it on the left side of the bar (no front derailler tho). and its on top of the bar. out of the way so there's no accidental bumps, but close enough its easily accessible.
Do you have ANY idea who you're talking to?
to be fair, i picked mine up second hand. I wasn't sure if it was gonna be something i liked or not. After thrashing on it all season, its probably due for a rebuild anyways. The play did become more noticeable over time. Its still only a few mm at the nose of the saddle though.
to clarify, I'd absolutely use a remote if (a) it functioned smoothly without a massive cable housing loop and (b) the lever was minimal, more so that what I've got now.
Either way, I can't see not having an adjustable post ever again on my trail bike.

Yah - same here. But the guy I bought it from is a bit of a stickler for maintenance... which is good.
yea, same here. it was barely noticeable when i got on it. but it has since spent a good 6 months under my fat ass.Yah - same here. But the guy I bought it from is a bit of a stickler for maintenance... which is good.

This thread is so full of randomness. There's a lots of room for improvement in adjustable seatposts...
To add to the randomness, I'll give my 2cents: My Reverb has been completely flawless. MINIMAL play. I mean, minimal. The hydro cable is the best part of it's design. No stupid cable to rust or drag. Then there's the infinite adjustment... It's never coming off my bike, unless they make one that drops 150mm.
I ran Gravity Droppers before this and loved them too, but searching for the middle positions to click in was super annoying. I won't mention their aesthetics.
Good luck with your Hilo. It's always looked really good to me...
