Dropper post

[Norm]

Oh man I totally want to see the thread where JP asks how & when to use this thing. I'm already subscribed.

I need one cause Utar and Kirt have one.

I went to Ringwood with Luke and feel I just need one.
I fell twice because the seat just threw me over.

Ringwood sucks
Can't stop loving it

dropper posts need to eliminate the need to sit on the seat to lower it

electric and an internal motor

I just find it too finicky sometimes.

i don't always lower or raise it all the way - i could see a click to drop/raise ? hold to adjust?
be relatively easy using a drive off the bb to build the up pressure, then a small spring could pull it down.

I have the Spec aftermarket- I love the thing. It has not failed yet- speak to me when it does! to the OP the post I would look at is the PNW Components Rainer post. Coil, no air- less components to fail I would imagine, and cheap for a post ~$250

Right, it's sooooo hard to sit on a seat and press a button. What, you want a bike that pedals itself too?

just kidding. it's definitely shit.

Just installed an internal reverb that was replaced under warranty for squishy post , post would move about half inch from body weight. One would think the replacement would be perfect, think again the new post still has the squish (not as bad maybe 1/8" at most )when fully extended . The next post I buy will be the external fox .

i hear so many stories like this. Happened to me twice on both my reverbs. both times, both post where sorted out by the LBS with no issues after. makes me think its almost not worth sending out for rebuilds or replacements if you can find a guy in house . any unintentional drop in the dropped ruins my ride.

Decided on the Fox performance 100mm internal and 1x under bar mount.
Couldn't justify almost 400 bucks on a seatpost with a gold coating.

Where did you get it, Kirt told me to buy that one as well.

I've been very happy with the Thomson on my Carbine.
