patches Posted August 26, 2015 Share Its the same thing as this apparently. https://youtu.be/C5KI1OGcPSw http://brimages.bikeboardmedia.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Easton-Haven-dropper-seatpost-201501.jpghttp://brimages.bikeboardmedia.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Race_Face_Turbine_dropper_seatpost.jpg yeah it is. Exactly the same post, just different branding. Yup! Race Face bought Easton Cycling the Fox bought them both out. At least this post's lever is better the one on the DOSS. Hopefully it performs better too. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible to only need one post for your stable of bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin PJ Posted August 27, 2015 Share I have been using the Tmars dropper which I bought off eBay for R780. I have been using it since February. Nice to try if you want to see how they work, without breaking the bank. It is easy to service, has 90 and 45 mm of drop, which is plenty for me. I think the dropper would be ideal for someone who lacks a bit of confidence on technical stuff, it is like a set of rear training wheels, eventually you wouldn't need it anymore.

Sorry, that was just fantastically funny. And just incorrect on so many levels. The large majority of those who have bought droppers would not give them up. Ever. They're just that amazing. Plus - trust me - 150mm drop is a hard thing to get over! RockCoach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmmm ja, the training wheel analogy not the right one for this.Sure dropper posts give you the confidence to right knarlier stuff. However this is because it gives you freedom to move around on the bike, it's not teaching you anything.A fixed post restricts movement, and puts you in awkward positions on the bike, that feel unstable on steep descents or rocky drops etc. Think more along the lines of computers, cell phones, PVR ... We didnt think we needed those things when they came out, but try living without them now. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can now be taken off and used as a self defence item Seriously though. I hope their new direction (in this and pedals) ends up in goods that you can actually use for more than a day.

I ride cross country races, so a dropper is not a must have. As I said, if you lack a little confidence, then it will conquer that. I could not fit a 150 mm on my hard tail. it is medium. 90 mm goes all the way for me. I will probably ride like this for ever, even on cross country races. Just makes the ride more fun.

Yes, you CAN manually drop your seat before a tech section, but this is just so much more efficient. And fun. Martin PJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin PJ Posted August 27, 2015 Share Another thing that people don't realize about this is on the non technical long descents, if you drop your seat you can go much faster, being more aero. I drop my seat every time I stop pedaling for a bit, like in Sani2C there are many non technical descents. It is not just for the technical stuff.

igg Posted August 27, 2015 Share Why are there so few droppers with setback? Was planning to get the new Giant one till I noticed 0 setback. Tall people problems . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been meaning to give some feedback on mine since I'm also using the Tmars for a while now. But the 115mm version. I really love that thing. Its not like I never had a dropper before either. Had the giant dropper previously and I would recommend the mechanical route to anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
