TransX from bike discount, works out at ~£80.
Only issue is they are quite a short post so might not work if you have a lot of standover

I have a Gravity Dropper in pieces if someone fancies rebuilding it. Should be a straight forward job, I’m just too busy!

Thomson are doing a 125mm, think it’s the only 27.2 option with that much drop? But so far the bigger Thomsons seem to be awful for reliability, a few mates got them in a fit of Thomsonlust and they’re all on at least their 2nd post after total early failures… And Thomson don’t seem to be actually fixing the recurring faults, just replacing when they fail.

Gravity Dropper are very effective, dead easy to look after, but the UK support’s gone downhill since CRC dropped them. One of the german stores had Levs for about £110 IIRC?

Cheers fellas, I’ll pass this on.

X-fusion HiLo is another option. Mine has been completely reliable over a few years, changing the cable every 6 months or so. I made a simple crud guard out of an innertube under the saddle to keep the muck off the mechanism

X-Fusion HiLo is the one he’s looking at jimw.

Chief GG – I’ll have that if it’s still spare?

My X-Fusion is over two years old now, still works as good as the first time – haven’t bothered with the cable though (swapped between my HT and the kids FS), I just use the underseat lever.
