Cheap dropper posts?

[Mongooser]

The Rapide dropper is a killer deal and I think replacement cartridges go for about the same as the Lyne replacement cartridges. Under R700 if I'm not mistaken.

 

But its worth pointing out that while the Rapide is cheaper than Lyne.

The actuation cable goes all the way up to the saddle while the Lyne stops at the collar.

This means that with the Rapide post your cable is moving up and down with the saddle every time its actuated. While I don't remember this being much of a problem with my first dropper from a couple years ago. Its still worth paying a couple hundred extra to avoid imo.

Rapide have some brilliant deals and when I actually have enough cash to go 11 speed.

I will definitely do it through them. But dropper vs dropper? Lyne ftw.

No you don't.... Just as long as it's not a SRAM xd (gx or above) cassette it will fit your current freehub.

Oh!? Is it 7 speed that you're running right now? Which bike / hub setup is it that you're running.

Just pulled the trigger on a Lyne. Hope the international shipping is pretty quick

Maybe he's running a block. I know he's had a couple DH bikes.

Not sure what he's up to now.

 

 

If that's the case just take it off.

and give it to me

+ another 1 for Lyne. Only had mine for 4 months but all been smooth trouble free operation.

Needs quite a bit of weight to make it drop (I m 75kg, have to sit firmly to get it down). Rises back up nice and calmly. No nutcrushing.

Bit fiddly to get the cable length right when installing. The cable on the internal routed version is clamped into a teeny little barrel bolt thing at the bottom of the post. I was too gentle when I tightened this little guy. Promptly came loose on 2nd test and disappeared inside the frame for 2 days.

I dont need a dropper post, I dont need a dropper post... Oh who am I kidding? I need a dropper post...

[T-Bob]

Ah.... Nuts. Just found out my 150mm internal is just a bit to long for my new frame. Keeps hitting the pivot bolt and can't get it low enough so I'll have to get a 120mm from them to match the one on my Tranny. 

 

So if anyone wants a 6 ride old,150mm, internal Lyne (they are sold out on the site) then let me know or keep an eye in the classifieds.
