I did thinking about hacking the frame, there isnt much you can take off a hecker, maybe a cm or so.
bigyinn – I had the same issue myself with a Blur LT, I went from a medium (too small for me) to a large and found that the difference in seattube length was huge, way out of proportion with other relative dimensions between the 2 sizes. Anyway, it’s done now, frames bought. It does seem to be more of an issue with women.
Anyway, here’s a few measurements for 100mm drop posts:
Reverb – 165mm
X Fusion Hilo – 170mm
Joplin – 165mm
KS Lev – 157mm
(this is from saddle rails to the top of seat collar / QR when dropper is extended but inserted to maximum distance – in line with the seat tube angle).
