Hi All,
looking to upgrade my seat post to a dropper post. Am at the lower to mid end of pricing. I have internal routing on my Specialized Rockhopper.
X Fusion Manic - my son has this post on his Rocky Mountain hardtail and not had any issues with it, although he’s only 10. Comes with a cable and alloy lever and can get it delivered for $310. Think I am restricted to 125mm of drop on this one although struggling to find a diagram with measurements.
Brand-X - Can get this delivered for $255. Comes with a lever and cable. Mostly decent reviews. Can only go 125mm drop for my frame.
OneUp - The most expensive as the post does not come with a lever so about $400 all up. Can get a 150mm drop in my frame with this model.
Any thoughts on the above three? I’m an old beginner so don’t think I desperately need the extra drop... I just get a bit jealous riding behind my son when riding trails downhill. Have mostly been riding at Red Hill and Lysterfield on the green and Blue trails. Have no desire to ride big jumps, drops etc. I want something that will last and is serviceable.
