[Closed] Carbon frame and Gravity Dropper - it's bimbo question time!

yes

Well its not actually rubbing against the carbon is it, and you don't have to constantly decrease and increase the clamping force on the carbon either, so I'd think it would be fine..

Just raise and lower it less often?

Thanks for the replies. 🙂

Been thinking about a GD for a while, it may well help my descending. Always have fixed bolts as seat post clamps, apart from the plastic one.

Will be fine. I'd recommend a GD with remote.

Thanks Andy. 🙂

Will be fine. And really nice too. I just built a rigid forked bike out of a cheapo Carrera and a load of bits, I'll happily go without suspension but it's harder to go without a dropper post now They are ace.

Suspension can be quite handy for taking the shock when you hit water bars though, eh?

I've got an integrated seat post on a carbon frame. Never lowered that and it seems fine...

Believe it or not it wasn't the bar that got me, I hammered the back wheel off the waterbar though and it was fine, but cut the front open straight after. Irony. I get blase about whacking rocks with tubeless but I guess I found a sharp one this time. Ah well. I am still generally in favour with the puncture fairies.

Sorry to Spam; but I'm currently flogging a Gravity Dropper descender 😉

Got a GD on my Ibis Mojo - works together brilliantly :o)
