I made an enquiry with a bike company regarding if a dropper post could be inserted all the way into a frame. By this I meant all the way to the collar leaving little if any of the lower half of the post exposed. In reply I was told "If a dropper is inserted too far it can stress the frame and cause damage"
I understand if the seat tube is interrupted or kinked you don't want any part of the post making contact with where the frame bends or with whatever is interrupting the seat tube. I also understand the concept that a post has a minimum insertion to protect the frame.
My question is does anyone know of a reason why (assuming the frame will allow it and will not contact anything internally) a dropper post can not be fully inserted into a frame?
I had a quick google and doesn't seem to be a problem but am curious to hear peoples experiences.
