With a new bike coming, I've got room to run a longer dropper post (I'm looking around 175mm).
The main options I'm considering:
OneUp components Dropper - 170mm (looks cheap and simple),
KS Lev Integra (or Ci) - 175mm (seems some can be a bit fussy, possibly can't pick up by seat, etc...)
9Point8 Fall-line - 175mm (looks quality, but exorbitantly expensive)
And before anyone mentions it - BikeYoke's "Revive" feature looks cool but I can't help feeling 160mm will be a bit short for what I want and 185mm will be a bit long for the frame (it'll probably buzz the tyre on the seat at full compression).
I will be the first to admit, I do not treat droppers as kindly as I should as I both frequently move my bike around by lifting it from the seat, and my bike typically gets transported to the trails upside down.
Anyone got any experience/recommendations?
