Sorry for the uninformed question here, but hence the question (to learn more), What is this part, where does it go and what does it do?

Really!

Did not know Fox did one.Aware that the Kronolog is problematic

I find this whole post most informative and could lead to my venturing into 27.5....with dropper post of course

Yeah. And as usual with Fox, it's DRASTICALLY over-priced. Just because it's Fox.

 

Seriously - the best on the market are the Rock Shox & KS (Kind Shock) offerings. No need to go for anything else. Tried, tested, bombproof.

Sounds like the Reverb is the one...Bike Radar give it the thumbs up

Withrespect to Fox I must admit my RL100 and RP23 have proved indestructable and I will stick with fox as far as that goes

A dropper post is a seatpost than can be dropped on the fly. There are several options available today. Most of them quite good and reliable by now. Original dropper that used a handlebar mounted remote have the cable running along one of the tubes much like your usual cable or hydraulic housing.

 

But RockShox pioneered a Stealth dropper post that used internal cable routing

 

1. Keeps things neat

2. Most importantly gets rid of "the loop"when you drop your seat which in turn gets rid of cable rub of the seat and its cable moving up and down

I hear mine silently weeping while awaiting the impending pain. I swear it has a blankie as well.

Victor's own bike. Love the black Revelation (spaced to 120mm) and the custom brake levers.

The yellow momsen branding is also non-standard I think.

Yip, and the white on the heat tube.

So what can you compare it to? Have you worked out what type of suspension/linkage it uses yet? Would be interesting to know since Pat had just come off the split pivot project..
