Size? seatpost is 30.9, I got one of the first reverbs when they came out I think they are only a 4″ drop for the mark 1. Anyways that is plenty for me.
Think I paid something silly like £250 for mine a couple of years ago 🙁
Really tempted with this as I have been dropper post curious for a while.
Stupid question time, can you run this below max height? I need it about 10mm shorter ideally due to not being able to drop the post far enough into the frame. I know that means I won’t get the max drop but can you set it to stop 10mm short?
Yeah, I wanted the 420 RH remote, to go on LH side. There one minute, gone the next. Could prob have gotten away with the 380 with the remote I wanted, but decided to play it safe with the longer one. I’m right handed, so will probably work out better with it under the RH side of the bars anyway.

Another stupid question – Where is the 420 or 355 measured from? Is it the bit that fits into the frame then add the 100 or 125 drop?
It’s the total length of the post. Measure how much of your current seatpost is out the frame and use that to determine which size you need. It’ll depend on the minimum insertion you need.
Noticed the code seemed to disappear when the Jan sale email came out, and most of that stuff is random tat theyve had on sale for ages.
Got one of the last cheap Merlin ones, was surprised to see it was aftermarket with bleed kit etc, works out same price as the crc once you buy the extras.
Annoys me that the CRC discount vouchers don’t work any more, despite being advertised as working til Dec 24th! I feel a stern email coming on…
Anyway… Still ordered at £144.99 cos was too good a deal to miss out, even if I couldn’t save another £15. Bought via quidco though, so will save another 3% off when its been processed.
So excuse the dumb question if i order a 420 long post with 100mm drop, can I assume the length of the 30.9 post tube is 320mm, hoping I haven’t ordered one that’s too long.

I think you’d subtract the height off the collar too. Also, if your current post has more than 100mm exposed now, then you won’t inset it fully anyway.
I’m tempted too. I cant see any issue with sizing though? Do issues arise re frame design? I ride a hard tail with a 410mm post that’s shows a fair bit. So I assume that if I buy a 420mm reverb that it works the same. I have it where my static pin is now but with the benefit of a drop?

I think the 125mm post is 190mm from the seat clamp to the rails, so the 100mm is probably 165mm.
