Fox new model

Thomson or nothing.

Why is KS not an option?

Looked at Thomson and 9point8 for my Scalpel. Researched on-line reviews for several brands and narrowed it down to the those 2. Didn't feel like waiting 8 weeks for the 9point8. Went with the Thomson Covert. LBS had it ordered and installed in 3 days, just in time before a bike trip.

Fox Transfer then the Rockshox reverb updated. I think the KS customer service sucks but their droppers seem to hold up well..

Add the specialized dropper. It's the best I've had out of a KS and reverb.

Just found this Fox Transfer review

The Fox would be on level with the 9point8.

I don't know, there are so many option.
Just want the latest and greatest.

I like the remote options on the fox.

I like the reverb cause it's what I've been using with mostly no problem. And it pairs up so well with the match maker to my guide brakes. But It also has my least favorite remote design.

This post prob isn't even worth the 2cents.

I have a LEV with the optional remote that sits where the front shifter used to be. It's nice, but if I had to do it again Id try the 9 point 8 or the Thomson. And they're all way too much $$$ for what they are.

Here's the trick for mounting your lever like a shifter

if only specialized would make a zero offset dropper .
I do like the new fox dropper with the external cam mounted on the low side of the post

Lucky for me, I have long extremities so this is not an issue. That's a plus.
The negative is a higher center of gravity which makes things tougher

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

I don't think so. He mentioned something about that trail is what did you in.
