27.2 dropper wanted

[jax13]

Anything considered at the moment as long as its 27.2. External routing or seat lever type.

Thanks folks.

I didn’t know they were available in 27.2, that’s interesting...

Apparently they do exist... Usually found next to gold plated rocking horse shit though!

Re:

Brand x do one at CRC. Not in stock at the moment but I got one about 4 months ago for 90 quid from them.

Expect you can google and find one elsewhere

Re:

Brand x are the same as trans x. Rsp also do one, I'm sure there are others.

Re:

Yep. And they are as good as any. Certainly as reliable and smooth as a reverb

Re:

I've been using Ks (kind shock) etens - 1 eten-r - exterior remote and one eten-i interior cable . Ks do a variety of 27.2 droppers (all use the same hydraulic cartridge it appears) I need them because i've damaged something in my hip/thigh and can't get my leg over easily (v painful) They seem well made - approx £103 for the eten -r 100mm but the internally routed 65mm one was £130. I bought one from cyclomonster and the other from ebay. I'm currently waiting for the delivery of one from aliexpress - it was only £66 for 100mm eten-r - hopefully i won't get hit with a load of vat/duty . i need this for the gravel bike i'm building. I've had no problem with the 2 i've got - though the internally routed one was a pain in the arse to fit. they look pretty easy to service according to the online tutorial on ks site.

Update - seatpost arrived - ordered 6th july - received today 18th july - no duty to pay - so hydraulic dropper seatpost for £65.58

Re:

I'm bidding on a gravity dropper lp turbo thing at the moment.

Will see if the price remains sensible.

If I could justify the Thomson I'd be on one like a tramp on hit chips but even 2nd hand they are significant compared to what I've just spent on the bike!

Love my Thomson 27.2. I was fortunate to win the bulk of the cost as a runner up in the SouthCoast Suspension Dreamlike competition.
