What frame do you have? How much do you like it?

It was cheaper for me to buy a new frame and use a spare dropper than buy a new 27.2 dropper.

I have a similar dilemma only I have to buy one then get it turned down to 26.8mm. It can be done but seems rather foolish when you say it out loud.

Internal or external routed?
I have a Trans-X internal routed one kicking around that I didn't use.

Gravity Droppers come in 27.2mm (or even 26.8mm). A little clunky, but pretty simple and easy to fix if anything goes wrong

I got a Tranz X from the same place, really good post, little bit of play but not much. Better post than the gravity dropper which it replaced.

Brand X comes in 27.2mm with external routing for £89 in sales

Have one on my Hybrid bike, works perfectly

New ones have a much better lever and the cable routing has the nipple at the top of the post body not at the top of the sanction so there is no outer cable movement when the post is in action and the lever end is held in by a nipple clamp

+1 for Gravity Dropper...find a second hand one though to be within budget
