Looking for peoples comments experiences with this kit before I buy, is it reliable, etc.

Easton stuff is generally considered reliable, especially its bars. Never heard of any problems with Easton Monkey Carbons, unless your gonna hammer them. Not sure bout the posts tho.

Have a look at the consumer reviews section, both here & on mtbr.com

Bars always seem popular, although heard some dodgy stuff about the seatposts slipping, cracking etc - lifetime warranty, but still scary!

lifetime warranty on carbon?

never had any problems with either except a warranty claim for a soft spot on my orig. bars.Both are very very strong,early(silver clamp) seat posts slipped but the later ones are fine,thet have just changed clamp design but I,m not sure why.Buy with confidence my 15.5 stone of flying lard has never doubted either.

I heard on Singletrack that no matter how much you tighten the seatpost clamp, the saddle will still keep moving.
