V18 Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 I have both the Lyne and the rapide. While both are very well priced I think the Lyne is slightly more refined. Wouldn't bother with anything more expensive. Ride it till it breaks. Try to fix it. Or just replace for half the price of a reverb service.
BigDL Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 I dont need a dropper post, I dont need a dropper post... Oh who am I kidding? I need a dropper post...Ha - been telling myself that for three years now.
Sparky and the Warden Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 Dude under which rock have you been residing??? Lyne is awesome! I personally feel their droppers are the best value for money. Now click on this link https://www.lynecomponents.com select what you want and ding dong two days later it arrives at your door! You can thank us later. Happy trails! looks solid never heard of Lyne?who stocks em?
Rudi Pollard Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 I was hoping I could get the Lyne in a 27.2, but my seatpost hight ruled that possibility out. I am on the cut off between a Large and X-Large and ride the large. My 400mm post is nearly maxed out in the frame.
doppelganger Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 Where are you based? I have a 120 30.9 but wanted the 150... Mine is brand new 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.
Phatman Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 Just pulled the trigger on a Lyne. Hope the international shipping is pretty quickMongooser should get commission/discount for starting this thread!
Mongooser Posted June 2, 2017 Author Posted June 2, 2017 Oh!? Is it 7 speed that you're running right now? Which bike / hub setup is it that you're running.its the freebody that comes with a rapide ultralight proit only fits a 8 speed max,(ran a 8speed saint on it)i have a 9speed on with one cassette spacer out and it just fits
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 its the freebody that comes with a rapide ultralight proit only fits a 8 speed max,(ran a 8speed saint on it)i have a 9speed on with one cassette spacer out and it just fitsIE it should fit. 8-11 speed cassettes have the same width on the mounting point. The Rapidé Ultralight PRO rear hub is supplied with a quick change 12mm Thru Axel, Quick Release adapters and a Quick Release skewer. The 8/9/10/11 speed compatible cassette body is made from light and strong 7075 alloy. Also available with a lightweight SRAM® XD XX1 cassette body. Ideal for XC and trail use.
T-Bob Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 Where are you based? I have a 120 30.9 but wanted the 150... Mine is brand new Ohhh.... That's interesting. I'm based in CT and got one of the first 150's that had a cartridge issue. They were up front about it and it only affected about 30% of that initial batch and said if mine had an issue then they would just install a new cartridge. I got them to do this yesterday. so that is fresh and new. If you're keen to do a swap out then drop me a PM and we can make a plan.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 why doesn't a 9speed fit tho?guess i gotta try stick one 11sp on firstI cannot answer that without looking at it first....
Dubber Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 Anyone used the Satori dropper post? https://www.onedayonly.co.za/sorata-mountain-bike-pro-dropper-seatpost.html About R1000 less than the Lyne. But not a brand I'm familiar with...
captain morgan Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 Only 110 travel and not the best Lyne back up .... get the Lyne
Duane_Bosch Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 Sorry to revive this. Anyone on a Lyne? Happy? Getting VERY gatvol of my variable drop reverb
Phatman Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 Sorry to revive this. Anyone on a Lyne? Happy? Getting VERY gatvol of my variable drop reverbMine has been bulletproof over 18 months. Just ensure that the cable has enough slack otherwise it doesn't release fully sometimes.
popcorn_skollie Posted February 12, 2018 Posted February 12, 2018 Mine has been bulletproof over 18 months. Just ensure that the cable has enough slack otherwise it doesn't release fully sometimes. Yeah I picked up on that too. Sorry to revive this. Anyone on a Lyne? Happy? Getting VERY gatvol of my variable drop reverb Some fussy cable adjustment which is probably my fault. But other than that its been fine. Feels really well made. Pretty too. The only thing that bothers me is the standard lever it comes with. Why did that little silver tube have to be involved? Its ruining my selfies.
