Really loving the look of that concept saddle.
I'm curious, I would imagine not but, do you accept returns after a small trial period so people can see how they get on with a saddle?

It should be really easy to sell if you ever need to, I think.

Yeah, that's the other option. I'm just struggling with saddle's at the moment and it's not ideal making a loss. That and I'm not sure how easy it'd sell here in the UK with what I can presume only fellow WW users know Berk? (pardon me if I'm mistaken, I don't frequent many forums).

Thanks, Jure. The new saddle is super sexy.

Hi to all!
Finally on WW again after a bit longer period of time, very busy with different projects and I would show you one of the latest projects, we are already testing it.

The idea was to make a seatpost that can be used as a 0mm or 15mm offset seatpost, only by turning around the seatpost clamp. We will soon have more news on that because most of the tests are already done.

Regarding our shoe projects unfortunately there are big delays because we are working with another Slovenian company and we have some problems to put it in production, mostly because the organisation. The shoes are fully tested and ready for production, but it delays a bit, and as soon as we get the finished shoes we'll publish more details and also put them on our website. We produce the carbon sole and it has to be finished now from the side of our partner. We'll for sure give our best to make that happen as soon as possible.


Cheers,
Jure

Looks like a standard allen key would work then set the torque with the rear bolt or use a ball head allen key extention on the torque wrench.

Put me up for that seatpost waiting list as well! Ideas of the approximate weight? ~120g?

Very interseting. I'm guessing it's kind of a hinge on the clamp or something to allow the non bolt end clamp down? (I know what I mean but I'm not coming across very well in engineering techno speak!)

It's just like a Thomson and other 2 bolt designs, but with better front bolt access which is usually an issue on posts with less than 20mm of setback that also want to minimize the amount of material in the head.

I like it that ....

- The rail clamp can be flipped for more adjust-ability
- The top of the seat post has a cut out, this should provide some flex and a smother ride, along with making it exer to access the bolts

That seat post is sick! It is a little like a Cinelli Ram with the open area at the top of the post. Count me in on one as well. Nicely done Jure.
