Quagga Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 Hubbers Can you maybe help me find this, not sure if it get made. Dropper post External Routing Best option (Maybe I can make internal work)27.2 100mm drop min.400mm plus (the distance from my Seat rails to top of seat tube is 269mm20mm min setback Looked at Lyne.But their External is straigt only :-( Hope someone can help
Wannabe Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 Speak to Wayne at Rapide. Maybe he can assist in some way.
Grease_Monkey Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 KS Lev have some options - but prices will make your eyes water. I am assuming that you are already slamming the seat back on it's rails as far as possible? As far as I know Lyne are the only reasonably priced options in the 27.2mm variety...

With a straight post, I will be on the bend of the saddle rail and I dont think it will last long like that . :-( Looked at Rapide, and they only do 30.6 :-(
lyslexic Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 had the same problem. Ordered a Brand X dropper from CRC. Problem solved. Brand-X Ascend 27.2 CX Dropper It's only 85mm but it works for me.

Vetplant Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 I am going out on a limb here, but is your frame geometry not the root cause that needs to be addressed first? Sounds like the frame might be too small for you and possibly some of the geometry elements to make it work require you to have a once-in-a-blue-moon seatpost?

Just the way my body is "configured" :-(
Grease_Monkey Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 Specialized make a set back dropper - but it's a measly 35mm of drop. Not sure if that is worth the effort, but maybe it works for you?

droo Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 Layback droppers are few and far between because of the additional stress on the telescope mechanism from the added bending moment. Even if you do find one it's unlikely to last long, especially at 27.2.

lyslexic Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 How long have you had it, and how's it holding up so far? 2 months. so far so good.
droo Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 2 months. so far so good. Good to hear - I'd be interested to see what the durability's like.
Bonus Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 I'm looking into getting a 27.2 dropper for my Epic and everywhere I look Brand-X are being talked about . . .
