Dropper Posts: Things are hotting up

[Eddy Gordo]

I bought myself a very cheap dropper off ebay. I think it came to about R700 brand new with free shipping and duties. It is a mechanical dropper and it being my first, I cant really compare it to others but I like it alot. Been using it for about 4 maybe 6 months now.

Flowta also has one of those ... they look very decent ... especially for the pricing!

[Eddy Gordo]

Yeah, they are and no worrying about oil or air leaks

From the article too

While Thomson has been working on a Bluetooth equipped dropper post for a while now...

You can ride your bike up a mountain, but pushing a mechanical button sounds too much like hard work...

 

Stop the planet, I'm getting off.

Careful you don't buy a bargain that is old stock, the silver collar was discontinued in 2011.

 

I can do a current model Reverb with local SRAM warranty for R3,250. Limited to 31.6mm x 380mm only 1 and 31.6mm x 420mm 2 only. Both 125mm drop AND choice of left or right lever.

 

And believe me, this is an item you want a local warranty on.

You WANT a local warranty on a dropper post. Rather go with what the previous poster said.
