TVS is a cool looking seat but I consider it in the "developmental" stage. The size 16 has a listed ID of 14.0 mm on the Fuji site but in the catalog it shows the ID as 15.0 mm. They added a size 17 at the show but it is not on the Fuji website yet and we don't have the ID. All this is important because it is a "blank contact" seat and you need to match up the blank OD with the seat ID. The other option is a carbon insert of proper ID, which would then be arbored and reamed to the blank. Fuji has some good data on how this set up maintains and can actually improve sensitivity but we have not seen the final results. More info as it becomes available...
