  1. It's hard to imagine that not too long ago dropper posts where an oddity found only on custom builds and made by only a handful of manufacturers. Even though the benefits were clear, the early samples were unreliable, short on drop and needed lots and lots of care. Click here to view the article
  2. The Forca dropper seatpost is a low tech mechanical adjustable seatpost. While you may want to cringe at the thought of a spring and pin operated mechanism between the legs, the Forca is a solid offering and features benefits over hydraulic or air operated systems.

  3. I am the proud new owner of a Momsen Vipa. Started building it last night, but hit a snag or two so will only be completed around lunch today. For now build kit looks like this: Size:...........Large Fork:..........RockShox SID XX 100mm, 15mm TA Shock:.......Fox CTD (Stock) Wheelset:..American Classic Tubeless Handlebar: Race Face SixC 725mm Stem:.........Sunline 50mm Brakes:......Avid Elixer Grips:........ODI Groupset...SRAM X0 2x10 Seatpost:...Truvativ Noir Saddle:.....Selle Italia SLR Tires:........Schwalbe Rocket Ron / Racing Ralph TLR Pedals:......XT Trail Weight:.....? Build is a bit of a morph between carry over and what I had in the parts bin. Planned changes 1. Not so sure about the white fork. Will wait and see what it looks like when all is done. Might even go 120mm after this. Will add some playfulness to what will be a XC rocket. 2. Once I do fitment the 50mm stem will go. Will replace with correct length Momsen 3. Again, fitment might see the SixC bar go. To be (most likely) replaced by Momsen Up/Down bar Was nice to see frame comes frame protection and how to guide of what goes where. Not the usual stock stuff either. Sized and pre-cut already. Nice touch. Graphics have been changed slightly from pre-production "Epic" model. Looks even better now. TT graphics are more subtle with only Patrick Morewood's signature on there. Rest of the bike is a study in attention to detail. Thanks again to my LBS Cycle Factory who's building the bike with the love and care it deserves! Frame was delivered at the shop yesterday and they're doing their best to get it ride-rady in time for me to take it on leave with me this afternoon. Big up to them. My (close to) favourite little detail on the frame? Internal routing for a Stealth Dropper! Yes, I will be the guy on the XC start line with flat pedals and a dropper post on my 29er race bike!
