Patchelicious Posted April 30, 2014 Author Posted April 30, 2014 I got my dad a Command Post for his Birthday and he seems happy with it. I however am yet to be convinced it is needed for these Sani2C/W2W/Dr Evil type marathon races we do..... How many guys used them at the Epic for instance? I didnt see many?
LazyTrailRider Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 I however am yet to be convinced it is needed for these Sani2C/W2W/Dr Evil type marathon races we do..... It's not, so don't worry about being convinced.

DR ◣◢ Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 There is no right or wrong application for a dropper post. I'm pretty sure that you will use it more than once on Sani2C for example.
OnTheRicky Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 I should be getting my dropper post next week. I am just looking around at how to install it. My shifter cables run through top tube and my rear brake under the down tube, but there are no cable clip mounts/rails. Can I buy adhesive mounts or how would I get the cable from the reverb to the handlebars?
Josh0 Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 I got a Spez Command post before the weekend, and I must admit that it justified itself within the first 5mins! I did not think that it could affect my riding in such a big way. I was used to my seat being in way everywhere, but now I am so happy with it being all the way down when I am #Enduroing Best puchase eva!
T-Bob Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 I've got a giant dropper post on my... well.. giant. It's awesome and was a mere R2K from Olympic cycles. Very impressed and love it.
Flowta Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Due to LBS in competence I was forced to do my first bleed of the remote of my Rockshox Reverb. Super easy. At least I got to shorten and reroute my cable in the process. Thanks Droo for supplying the parts and instructions.

Flowta Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Are the instructions in shareable format? Would like a copy please. Here you go, Droo gave me his original paper copy. Says he doesn't need it as he does it so often. http://www.sram.com/sites/default/files/techdocs/reverb_hose_replacement_and_system_bleed_95-4215-003-000_rev_a.pdf

I initially wanted to go for a Reverb, but then I found out that my LBS had the Spez post that came off a Camber Expert. The owner of the bike swapped the dropper first thing, for a normal post. I got it for R1500.....Stoked! Definitely one of the best inventions of all time. Edit:typo

Shortened my hose and bled it the other day, with no issues. Are brakes as easy?
patches Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 the sram website also has some videos, very easy to follow. Shortened my hose and bled it the other day, with no issues.Are brakes as easy? I've shortened Reverb hoses a number of times withough bleeding afterwards. Simply keep the remote end higher than the rest of the post when you cut. This may introduce tiny amounts of air into he system, but a Reverb is an on-off kind of actuation. No feathering. No heating up. No high pressures.No real "spongyness" (as it's a button). As for brakes though, a rebleed would definitely be recommended after any hose alterations, as air in the system affects performance and feel drastically. Also not all brake hoses have fittings that can be removed and re-installed like with the barb system on the Reverb remote. So one would have to check that first.

My issue was that the LBS when putting my bike in the workstand, clamped it by the saddle, breaking the barb at the saddle. Only noticed it on arrival at Tokai 3 days later
