simonm - MemberGD bar lever is crap...
Why? Only criticism I have is it's the wrong way up- if you buy a left-hand lever and mount it on the right, under the bars, it's better protected and (to me) easier to use. Though hard to fit with some brakes/shifters I imagine. But it's a far better lever than the clever, pretty, irritating KS one.
More people are regretting the Reverb than the GD from what I've seen.

GD bar lever is crap...If your going to go with a dropper post, get one you wont regret, get a Reverb.
yeah but he needs a 27.2post.................
Reverb seems to be bombproof, I´ve killed mechs, chainrings and even pedals here in the basque mountains but my seatpost has been through it all unscathed.
I wouldn´t consider building up a frame without one now.
Makes hacking around my local forest soooooo much more fun.
If you get a GD, use it the other wayround than the linky above,
Got a Reverb with my Canyon Nerve AM HS. The bike was a big step up spec wise from my 07 Marin Rock Springs but the seatpost is the biggest single wow. Great to drop it for a steep drop or tech bit, then up again straight away to power away. It can be slightly sticky as first on a ride so you do need to press the remote button in time (there's a knack to not pulling the front brake lever at the same time - doh!)
It developed some rotational and for-aft play after 1st ride but Canyon UK got Fox to fix it quickly and efficiently.
Got top reviews with ST too; Recommended.
