Subject: [CR]Bike of Death; Weyless Pillar

Good Fellows, One of the machines I was given has a Weyless Pillar. I recall that this component made it onto the death bike list pretty early in the piece.

Can anyone advise how dodgy this pillar is before I use it? I recall a few racing mates using these without incident though it is light (185g...not far off campag record carbon). Was the front screw perhaps prone to breakage with the saddle set back as far as it would go..or something worse? Would it be OK for light riders?

Thanks
