Lyne Components Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 Hi Skylark In terms of servicing- we recommend the owner keep the stanchion and moving parts free of any dirt and derbris as a this wil prolong the life of the product. The internal cartridge only needs to be replaced after an exteneded period of use if the post starts to malfunction, this will depend on the use and weight of the rider. In terms of spare parts- we will soon be stocking the replacement cartridges for around R600 (exchange rate dependant). We also have spare levers for R199 should a lever get damaged in a crash. This dropper post uses a regular gear shifter cable and housing which can be bought at any bike shop should the cable wear out. I hope this answers your queries, please feel free to contact us for any more questions. Cheers

So it uses a sealed non-servicable cartridge like a Giant post?

HenryS Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 It's actually cheaper, but with less drop. 120mm vs 125 & 150mm. But R 2,199 vs about R 2,800 or so R2650 for the 150mm to be precise.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 R2650 for the 150mm to be precise.yeah, there are different prices depending on the shop you go through... Heard up to R 2,900 in some places. I paid R 2,400 last year.
bullet77 Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 I paid R2900 for the 2016 125mm Giant dropper and was led to believe it was a special price by my LBS. I did see it for less(about R2600) at one of the online stores but I could not wait to get my grubby hands on it and the LBS had it in stock and they fitted it for me.
Skylark Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 R2650 for the 150mm to be precise.Yip that sounds right I paid R2900 for the 2016 125mm Giant dropper and was led to believe it was a special price by my LBS. I did see it for less(about R2600) at one of the online stores but I could not wait to get my grubby hands on it and the LBS had it in stock and they fitted it for me.Most shops I got quotes from for the 150mm were around R3k, that's currently after the rand went wonky, was closer to R2500 before that.
hihello Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 That external routing Lynne looks very similar to the TransX which I currently have and I must say that I'm very impressed. Haven't had any issues so far. Could very possibly come from the same factory.
andreas17777 Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Would have been in haven if this came in 27,2 diameter. The new easton Haven dropper.http://cdn.mos.bikeradar.imdserve.com/images/news/2015/08/13/1439430520175-17zrolxed1477-960-540.jpghttps://www.eastoncycling.com/products/details/haven-dropper-post
popcorn_skollie Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 A new contender shakes the market up a bit.Which is good. Droppers must be the most overpriced piece of MTB tech to date.http://reviews.mtbr.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Rainier_272_Weight.jpg PNW Rainier. The name doesn't exactly roll off the tongue easy but with it does come in the ever elusive 27.2 post diameter.

TBH though it looks more like the original giant version with that seat clamp.
FCH Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 Thankful it didn't have top pass through too many hands, otherwise "not cheap" would have become stupidly expensive. "Our product is not cheap, it simply hasn't passed through too many hands to get to you guys :)"

"Our product is not cheap, it simply hasn't passed through too many hands to get to you guys :)" So if current pricing is anything to go buy.The Reverb has been passed around by more Middlemen than Audrey Dawns.
