Meg85 Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 Hi guys, I am looking to purchase a dropper post. 30.9 diameter with 100mm travel, external cabling. I found a Rockshox Reverb used for a good price but unfortunately it turned out to be a 125mm. Question is: What can I get NEW for a decent price (+/- R 3500.00 or less) that works very well and does not have huge costs to service. NOTE: I CANNOT use the Lyne Dropper. They only come external in 125mm. Thanks
TAAHIRWP Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 I Think I sent you a message, not sure... I should be getting my dropper back from Giant during this week. It new, well.. 2 rides new. The cartridge will be brand new when it comes back, as it is being replaced under warranty. 150mm internal or external routing. I think the total length of the post is around 440mm or so.

MintSauce Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 I got a Fox Transfer from Stoke recently. The performance model was R4065 excluding lever. The Fox lever is R900, but I paired it with a Lyne 1x lever at R200, so R4265 all in. I considered the cartridge posts from Lyne and others, but decided I wanted a hydraulic, serviceable post. Just my preference. According to internet comments & reviews the Fox posts have proven to be the most reliable. Very happy with it so far.
Christofison Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 https://www.rapide.co.za/product/rapide-drop-r-externally-routed-dropper-post-2/OP asked for a 100mm dropper. This is 120mm.
Christofison Posted September 18, 2017 Posted September 18, 2017 https://www.lynecomponents.com/dropper-postsOnly the internally routed Lyne is available in 100mm. External is only 125mm.
Wannabe Posted September 19, 2017 Posted September 19, 2017 OP asked for a 100mm dropper. This is 120mm. Wow.... Maybe he must just contact Rapide to inquire. 100mm posts are difficult to find, especially in his price range.

Alouette3 Posted September 19, 2017 Posted September 19, 2017 May I ask why it has to be 100mm? Why not just only use 100mm of the 125mm drop? If its to do with the length of the seat tube available, get a dropper with a shorter post. Giant ones used to be available in 375mm and 400mm I think. I have a 100mm dropper, and actually wouldn't mind a little extra drop, though 100 does do the job. I'm actually toying with the idea of the Lyne now as I like the fixed external cable on the collar.Still running a Gen 1 Giant dropper 375mm with 100mm drop. Has some play at full extension that I need to sort out, otherwise I would have made a plan for you.
