I have on my new bike a quick release on the seat - which is actually completely unnecessary. The saddle you usually provides the correct orientation and that's it (cross bike). So you can not steal with a quick grip the saddle I have replaced the quick-release with this one. My bike is black / silver, so the design fits perfectly. The lateral cut-out in Aluminium colored looks great, the logo is also milled. The clamping force is very good, the saddle will not budge. Would I buy again at any time. Generally make the BBB products a good impression in my opinion.
