1rjay Posted July 16, 2013 Share I had one of the first 'reverbs' on my trailbike and it work like a charm.....until it broke! Anyway, sent it in for repairs and got it back....still broken!! So I ask for my money back. BUT I'm seriously concidering getting one again. I'm 1.93m tall and feel really top heavy going into the steap and even technical stuff. If I drop my seat, its all 'A' for a way! I'll probably be one of a VERY few having it on a 29er HT! Hahaha!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR ◣◢ Posted July 16, 2013 Share The more fun your riding is, the more you'll realize that they should be standard equipment. It really is a ride changer. Fixed it for you Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickc Posted July 16, 2013 Share surprise butt sex in 3,2,1.. Either that or it all ended horribly!! But surprisingly not - he finished on the podium.

Iwan Kemp Posted July 17, 2013 Share Drop me a PM with a price Done hopefully just after my payday. Will be watching with baited breath... Why u no 30.9? I have found that the second you advertise a Large frame the whole world needs a Medium and would've immediately bought the bike had it been said size and vice versa of course. Same with dropper post size! Price? R2k ex postage. In perfect working condition. How is surprise butt sex not a horrible ending...

beanz Posted July 19, 2013 Share Are there any XC bike riders using dropper posts?It seems to be mainly the domain of longer travel trail bikes and beyond, and on higher end LT trail and AM bikes it's pretty much standard issue. I think that having one on my DS XC bike would also make a huge difference. I like to take on some of the more technical trails. Surely the biggest effect you can have on the overall geometry of the body/bike unit must be where you put your body. The saddle is often where I want my body to go.Not to mention taking it in the nuts a few times when things went a bit wrong.Even in cases where you don't absolutely need it, just lowering the saddle a little you can take moderately technical sessions faster and more confidently. And being more freed up and unconstrained has to be a lot more fun.All this is theory to me as I've never ridden with a dropper post. I suppose I can test it out by just lowering the saddle on the trail, but it's a bit of a bother to keep stopping and adjusting.The weight difference of +- 350g doesn't seem that bad to me. I'm not trying to win, just want to have the most fun possible on the bike.So in short I think I need one.Would be keen to know from other riders on XC bikes, is it a game changer, or just a gadget that adds weight, cost and maintenance overhead?
