J0KER Posted July 15, 2013 Share I got hit badly in the ball sack on stage 1 at Mankele, at the rock garden. I'm buying a dropper post this weekend. Never in my life to I want to experience that pain again! MTBc, DR ◣◢, pierre- and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR ◣◢ Posted July 15, 2013 Share I was offered R10000 for my dropper at Giba Enduro. I declined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trackie Posted July 15, 2013 Share Dropper posts rock, when you need it it's there, when you don't - ride at full extension. If you've never ridden with one, you'll never know the benefit Nuff said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickc Posted July 16, 2013 Share I pulled that move the other day... half assed it actually... got a knock staight into my johnson! The worst thing is getting into that position like that guy and looking and feeling like an absolute pro and then trying to get back onto the saddle and your shorts hook up on the back of the saddle and you can`t. Try experience that at speed - I was definitly awake after that experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own some real estate at giba gorge due to that dumbass move nickc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2teeth Posted July 16, 2013 Share Ok point taken by the guys who actually own one. But if you ride it at full extension, doesn't it move? I remember the first ones had play from left to right. Is that a thing of the past? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a thing of the past? No movement at all. It rides like a normal seatpost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvus Posted July 16, 2013 Share I agree with the others.I can't imagine riding without one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2teeth Posted July 16, 2013 Share So which one you guys recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocknRolla Posted July 16, 2013 Share dropper posts are fine for enduro and all mountain rigs.but the bloke in the OP is doing fine on his xc rig without one. Edited July 16, 2013 by RocknRolla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padawan Posted July 16, 2013 Share Rather have one....probably the best innovation since suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocknRolla Posted July 16, 2013 Share what was the preferred set up before dropper posts? stop and adjust your seat height? or compromise and ride it in between optimal and low? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 16, 2013 Share meh...don't see the need for one. Safe to assume you haven't ridden with one then, roux? Grebel and DR ◣◢ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
