Skylark Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 If it's not rubbing the post and it isn't heavy enough to stop the post rising apparently it's not really an issue. All your mates getting miffed because it's not #enduro is probably the real challenge you will be facing. So what did they say when you pitched up like that [emoji12]
nolipoli Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 I rode like this for a while. It keeps the stanchion free of mud from the back wheel, and never caused any issues. The only negative is that if you are short, the wheel might touch the bag when it is lowered and the suspension compresses. My wife had this issue (5'2" on a 150mm travel Reign)

NotSoBigBen Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Well it is on a Giant so I'm not surprised ????
droo Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Bike scrotum! That'll eventually rub the coating off. Guaranteed.

KarlvN Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Bike scrotum! That'll eventually rub the coating off. Guaranteed. yup, looks like one of those die hard blue bulls fans, who has a pair of blue balls hanging from the towbar of his hilux...

Enduro_Jakes Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 yup, looks like one of those die hard blue bulls fans, who has a pair of blue balls hanging from the towbar of his hilux... I always thought they were using blue balls to show they never get laid... must be a side effect of being a blue bull supporter
Mackie Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Whilst we are on this topic, using a bike stand and clamping the dropper post, surely, this cannot be good?

droo Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Whilst we are on this topic, using a bike stand and clamping the dropper post, surely, this cannot be good? Pull the post out and clamp on the lower section.
nolipoli Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 It's like I don't even know you anymore Ya, it was a long time ago, before #Enduro.
droenn Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Slight hijack: Can you screw up a reverb by doing the seat clamp up too tight?
Enduro_Jakes Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Slight hijack: Can you screw up a reverb by doing the seat clamp up too tight? That will damage any dropper... it compresses the bottom tube and prevents smooth travel. Had that issue and just loosened it up a little, problem solved
