I had a V1 170 post and it seized up after a couple months of use in sloppy conditions. I emailed OneUp and they quickly sent me a new upper bushing free of charge, which popped in without needing to disassemble the post. That solved the issue, and post was flawless after that over 8 months of use before I sold the bike.
I now have a 180 V2 on my new bike, and the action feels smoother than the V1. As said above, they now ship standard with the V2.1 actuator mechanism, where the cable moves instead of the housing. I have only had the new post for a week, so I can’t comment on durability.
