Budget dropper post

I don't. Like it right where it is thanks

 

You are either a roady or you've never used a dropper.

You are either a roady or you've never used a dropper.

One of my friends came to Somerset West earlier this year for a visit, he borrowed one of my bikes with a dropper (his doesn't have one), and he hated it. Said that he usually uses the saddle to help him with balance around corners - heaven alone knows how he does that, but he is quite fast on the descent.

 

Some people just don't get along with them. As for me - I think it is the single best invention in mtb in the last 10 years bar none.

Any more comments on Rapide vs Lyne? The Lyne is a bit more expensive and it seems like the 1x remote is extra while with the Rapide it seems to be included with the price.

 

Is there a reason to pay a bit more for the Lyne? I would, just want to make sure I know what I’m getting extra.

My son and myself both got the Lyne. Absolutely zero complaints so far.

I'd bet seriaas money its the EXACT same cartridge inside , so maybe he body and aesthetics are where the price diff comes in

I agree, I would absolutely endorse the One Up dropper. Well priced, great lever, travel adjust. And brilliant service from Trail-Tech.

I run a One Up dropper and lever, and it's fantastic.   I now just want to go from 150mm to 170mm as when I built my bike they only had the 150mm in stock.

 

As for budget droppers, go for the Lyne.  It's really great.

1. I believe there is a reason why companies make all these different sizes of the exact same product and doesn't just throw in a shim here and there and not make certain sizes at all. Maybe stress testing and so on have shown signs of slight concern that they would like to avoid? Because just doing 30.9 droppers and throwing in a shim for 31.6 makes sense right? If there really isn't any concerns at all. Then why not just do that?

2. You can get the right size that is specifically made for your bike, why not just do that.

3. Read point 2 again.

Been using a Pro Koryak dropper for just more than a year now. 

 

It is a smoother dropper with quicker return than either the Lyne or Rapide, which I have both used extensively. With that said, you cannot complain about either the Lyne or the Rapide.

Only thing I don't like with the Pro Koryak seat is the seat clamp setup. Tend to find those designs need to be torqued up quite a bit to prevent the seat rotating in a g-out or bad landing. Giant uses a similar design. What has your experience been with the Pro Koryak clamp?
