Suntour NCX, another mismatch for me.

Sorry for picking up the thread, I'm now looking on ebay for suntour NCX because my friends recommended it, but now after reading here it seems it's not as good as it looks, so is it worth this purchase after all or not?

Only one person here seem to be having an issue with it... and well his comments seem quite peculiar let alone not the norm for any suspension post.
One thing I noticed with mine is that the spring seems to be over_rated and though the stock spring should fit me perfectly... I much prefer the soft load spring. I weigh 160lb which is the spring it comes with rating.

I have 6 ebikes and have it on all of them. Definitely worth the 70 or 80 bucks. I think I bought most of them on Ali Express but Amazon has them as well for a little more $$.

Does anyone have any squeaks?
I made the mistake of not getting the dust shield from the beginning and now it requires some lube every 300mi or so or it will squeak. That seems excessive to me and would expect longer intervals.
Initially I used Boeshield T9 on the joints but have since switched to a Teflon dry lube

Haven't heard a squeak and I think 5 have the dust shield and 1 doesn't. My riding is pretty much streets and bike paths so I don't hit many big bumps or gravel...

I really like this seat post, i dont have a dust cover but i have never heard any squeaking at all.

Well mine does... Maybe on a rainy day I'll disassemble it and give it a good cleaning.
SR does recommend lubing...

Both my dust covers have fallen off, recommend cable tying them on but not so tight it interfers with movement.
