RockCoach Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Sold two a couple of weeks ago. They so good I'm getting one for myself.
Hellgate Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 I have a brand new Giant dropper post that needs to go (I bought 2 but my wife doesn't want one). 30.9mm diameter 400mm long. Mine has worked brilliantly so far (only 2 months old) and I must sa it makes riding just that much more fun. Will sell for R1500 to first buyer.
Hellgate Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 If still available I will take it please.My mobile 0828820171In Durbanville Western CapeCheers Steven
Da Vinci Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Ok - I am working my way through this thread but still back in 2012.... Need to talk current....How many Reverbs are there? Been quoted from 3800 to 5400 for one and now wondering if there is more than one type on the market....Will confess that the numbers make very little sense to me.One thing I remember that the small bike has less of a drop than the medium and upward. I think 75mm vs 100mm on the ladies bikes. I ride a med ladies Spez Rumour - what must I be aware of if I'm looking at the Reverb .The Spez post comes in also at around 3800. So which do I go for?Aaaand GO!

So which do I go for?Aaaand GO! There is only one current model of reverb, but it comes in a normal version (cable under saddle) and stealth (internal cable routing) Prices do vary quite a lot so shop around. Reverb comes in a 125mm drop and a 150mm drop (100mm is not that popular anymore), if you're not too tall 125 should be fine - just check how much your current seat post extends from the seat tube, you need at least 125mm + however long the collar of the dropper is (about another 30 - 40mm at a guess) Dont know too much about the spez dropper, but you cant go wrong with the reverb.

Skylark Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 R3800 will be the regular version and R5400 the stealth.The Reverb is tried and tested, works and has easy availability of spares and repairs. Probably also better resale value. Da Vinci 1
Da Vinci Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Thanks guys - appreciate it. Sorry I'm a girl and not great with tech speak....Just one last check. Pic below is my bike specs - is the post more or less a one size fits all? Just want to make sure it will fit.... Bike is a medium Edited February 19, 2015 by Da Vinci
G00SE Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Dropper posts are not bike specific, but they have different diameters, from what I see in the spec sheet your seat tube is 30.9mm, so you will need to get a 30,9mm post. The 125mm drop one also comes in 380mm and 420mm lengths, I would go with the 380mm based on your seat tube length. Just remember to measure your seat post at its current height and make sure you have at least 165mm protruding from the seat tube, if its less you may have to look for one with 100mm drop.
Trackie Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Also remember that with the Reverb you have to specify right or left actuation lever, ie do you want the actuation lever on the left or right. Da Vinci 1
droenn Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Also remember that with the Reverb you have to specify right or left actuation lever, ie do you want the actuation lever on the left or right. Yep, but if you have SRAM shifters or brakes you can mount it underneath them on the other side! I've got a right side lever mounted under my left side brake, its very neat and out of way G00SE 1
G00SE Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Thanx Goose! You're welcome... best upgrade you will ever do on your bike! Also remember that with the Reverb you have to specify right or left actuation lever, ie do you want the actuation lever on the left or right. True, however a lot of people will use a right hand actuator on the left, and then it fits underneath the handle bars, instead of on the top
Iwan Kemp Posted February 19, 2015 Author Posted February 19, 2015 True, however a lot of people will use a right hand actuator on the left, and then it fits underneath the handle bars, instead of on the top Underneath the bar is the only way to do it if you ask me. Amberdrake and G00SE 2
