Any suggestions please? Things to look out for?

Gravity Dropper.

Now go away and stop asking pointless questions 😉

I think the options with a 27.2mm at the moment are gravity dropper, gravity dropper or gravity dropper.
The Cobra i900/i950 was rumoured to be coming out in 27.2mm, but that hasn’t materalised yet…

Or the KS one from a year or so ago that I picked up for £60 mailorder from xxcycles in France – no remote but £60

Sette do one, its non remote but works well. I’ve got one on a PA and can’t fault it. Was avaliable from Price Point in the US but can’t see it on their site now.

RISE in the sates also do a 27.2 one with (I think) 9″ of adjustment!

Sorry, that should be RASE not RISE.

KS850 it is available in 27.2 about £40

Yes but the RASE one is $350, so probably £350 if it comes out here. Given the reliability of some of the current droppers, I won’t be importing a warranty-free one from the US.

From reports, I think having the remote switch is huge bonus compared to the under saddle lever..

Nasher – presume you mean £140?

nasher is this the one? http://www.xxcycle.com/ksp-850,,en.php?www=en

I think the gravity dropper is still the most sensible choice for 27.2mm…

Cool thought the Gravity Dropper was best option, cheers.
