Jon,

can I ask you why did you go with the Easy tight seat  over the normally used ALPS centralock? they look similar, so just wondering what was the difference to install this one

Hello
I am brand new to this, and I want to just say that, that rod is one of the best that I have seen. If I may ask, what is under the guide?

That's Jon's signature paint marbling. Alan took me to his house while this stand was being built. Jon is an artist with this stuff. i wish he had enough time to post them on the site like he used to.
