[Iwan Kemp]

UPDATE from Giant SA

 

"We have finally received a shipment of seatposts from Giant. We've stripped them down for parts and repaired all the seatposts we have here. Those that could not be fixed were replaced.

 

Our 142 x 12 axles are also now available and all orders have also been despatched."

 

So if you're LBS has not phoned you to update you check in with them again.

But then why can't they give the customer an answer ? They told the OP they had no idea when stock would arrive ? Knobs

Hold on , you bought from Cajees ? Might explain the lack of service from giant . From what I have heard a lot of what they sell is grey. Also Cajees are know for zero after sale service .

[Runbikeswim]

A long stare down and they took one off another trance ..... never again giant or cajees

 

So any one in the market for a giant dropper pm me

How are the Lyne droppers?  I think I would also prefer selling my Giant dropper as soon as it comes back (maybe in 2018, early 2018..)

[Eddy Gordo]

Apparently the Lyne ones are really good.

Seen a couple now and they look decent and are priced well.

If i remember correctly... Buddy of mine says they partially hydraulic too. He is enjoying his.

 

I just hope after sales is better with Lyne.

The Lyne droppers are great quality IMO. I bought a 120mm drop internal dropper end of last year. Then it started to develop a loss in travel after only 2 rides.

 

Lyne asked that I make a video clip, showing the issue, to show the factory. After a week Lyne delivered a brand new updated 120mm, and took the defective one back.

 

The replacement has been flawless for 6 rides now. Their after sales service is top notch!

Maybe we can do a mass credit of the giant droppers, and swap for Lyne posts.. hahaha hahaha..

They have killer service. I got a 150mm dropper for my HT and Derry @ Lyne told me that there had been a problem on a couple of cartridges, he'd tested the one he had out form me but if there was the slightest issue then I should just drop him a msg and they'll sort it out quick, quick... Plus they back them selves with a 2 year warranty. 

 

So back to Giant.... Actually, don't get me started. Still nothing and still no conversation happening between the LBS and Dragon. Still a month down the road without a dropper on my Tranny. Really could have done with it yesterday at Tokai on Cobra and the DH's.

My third gen Giant post has been pretty good. There is a bit of play but it goes up and down and has never failed. I think I am on my second cable in around a year or more. The only problem is the stanchion wear. Its lost all the black in a line down the back of the post and a bit below the saddle clamp on the front. It has also started returning a tad slower of late. I am wondering if its the extra drag from the stanchion wear or the cartridge...
