I've got a PNW Pine 27.2 110mm dropper which has so much front-to-back flex that I feel like I'm on a pogo stick when I'm sat pedalling. Any recommendations for a more rigid 27.2 dropper?
Otherwise the Pine is great so I don't want to sound too negative.

I've got the KS Eten Remote:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/223547227375

I upgraded the remote to one of the £20 Bontrager ones and it's been excellent for 3 or so years now. I run a full outer on the remote which has made it more reliable but it's been fine. I can't honestly say that I notice any front to back flex having ridden it on a full suss and a hardtail but I am sure that it must be more flexible than a larger diameter rigid post.

PM me if you wanted to negotiate a swap to test it?!

I’ve got a KS lev integra, bloody expensive but very much as good as my reverbs on the bigger tubed bikes. No flex that I can tell. Does make for a firmer ride than the carbon post.

Thanks Tim. And thanks heaps for your generous offer of a swap test, but unfortunately the travel time between Australia and the UK probably makes that unviable.

Nick, how much drop does your Integra have? 65mm, 100mm or 120mm? Ideally I'll be getting 120, 100 would be ok, but 65 is too little.
