February 9, 20179 yr Hi all Anyone use the brand x dropper seatpost ? And if so what do you think? Thanks Steve
February 10, 20179 yr I've never used it but reviews seem quite good on Chainreactioncycles. Price looks good at £125.
February 10, 20179 yr Hi STEVEMANFA Having never used a dropper and not wanting to spend a lot of money on one if I wasn't getting use out of it, I went for a Brand X dropper. Just fitted. Haven't used it in anger yet so cannot vouch for it in anyway. Did not like the activation leaver, very long throw and awkward to position. So I have stuck a KS Southpaw on it and it's much improved.
February 10, 20179 yr Author Blaque Did you fit it yourself? And if so was it easy to fit? Thanks Steve
February 10, 20179 yr Looks like you have an overvolt like me. So semi stealth routing. Loosely loop your zip ties through the lugs on the frame and route the outer cable though to keep in place while you measure. The difficult bit was the last lug at the battery mount. Ended up taking the plastic mount off to route the cable properly. But just 2 screws so dead easy. Instructions that come with it are good. Just remember to measure twice, cut once. You'll need zip ties and cable cutters to do the job.
February 12, 20179 yr Author Hi Thanks for the info on the install, think I will order one up and give it a try. And yes I have a lap overvolt and it's fab.
February 12, 20179 yr Personally i,d take the plunge steve...an get a magura vyron...no messy cables..works like it should...your only ever gonna buy one dropper post....
February 13, 20179 yr Author Hi and thanks for the info on the seatpost, but it's a gift from my other half The one you are on about looks fab but I'm sure if I put that on my list at £270ish I'd be put out in the shed to sleep. So I have gone with the brand x for now.
February 16, 20179 yr Author Had my brand x dropper post turn up yesterday, good price £111.00 from high on bikes with free 2 day delivery, I cant fit it till the weekend but hope to try it out on Sunday.
February 19, 20179 yr Author Just to report back, I put the brand x dropper post on yesterday was a easy job from start to finish about 20 mins, had my first ride out today Sunday 19 feb and went around the verderers trail in the FOD and it works a treat, up and down is nice and smooth and there is no play in it, so all in all one happy bunny.
