I've got a 30.9 KSi900 and it's good when it works but it's basically falling apart – def wouldn't fancy a thinner version.

Crank Bros are bringing one out (soon I hope). It's their version of the Speedball. I had the 30.9 mm version on an old bike and it was the best thing I ever bought for the bike.

Don't quote me, but I think I read in one of the show reports that Crank Bros have abandoned their plans, couldn't make it reliable. That's only half remembered though so it could be wrong.

I've got the old KS850 in 27.2.

As I've posted previously I'd be pretty miffed if I'd spent £150 plus on it – but it was £60.

Strip down, couple of minor mods and it works fine. Just don't get too much water into it, 'cos the hydraulic action locks out the post – bit of a git.

Joe, Freeborn Horsham have two Gravity Droppers in stock, one remote, the other not, both 27.2 and on sale for I think £153 (I'm 95% sure that's right).

Number is 01403 251 252

cheers guys, im kind of thinking i will wait for the new pure racing i7 post http://www.pure-race.com/KS%20i7.html gravity droppers look good too but i work in a bike shop and they only deal direct so no trade prices….. although getting my name on it although totally nerdy is quite appealing. cheers for the advice.
