I’ve narrowed my dip into dropper posts to the KS Lev range but, is it worth going for the standard over the DX model?
The only differences seem to be weight (50g), price (£60) and colour of stanchion.
I was looking at getting a 150mm one but I think the cable box thingy will have to fit over the seat clamp as the post will need to be slammed right down in the frame, I’m prepared to buy a new collar (to replace the quick release one on there) but I can’t find any info about which ones are slim enough, anyone got any experience?
Using an on-line diagram I’ve figured that the distance from seat post clamp to saddle rails needs to be 207mm if the cable box fits over the clamp and about 230mm if it doesn’t, can anyone confirm this in the flesh?
I could probably get by with a 125mm one but an extra inch is always greatly appreciated, yeah?
Any replies and opinions are welcome.
