Hi,
Since shortening my cranks I've had to raise my 125mm reverb in the frame.
I am now bored of occasionally catching my shorts on my saddle or being hit up the bum jumping.
To counteract this I have started to manually drop my post using the qr, which sort of defeats the point of a dropper...
I'm considering drilling a hole in the seat tube for access to longer drop options.
I have read previous posts and I don't want this to disintegrate into engineering arguments over stresses...
I have 230mm from the top of my seatpost collar to the bottom of the seat clamp.
FOX kindly have a fitting guide on their website and I know that I have enough clearance for their external routed 150mm transfer, but I can't help thinking that stealth is a better idea for future proofing.
Can anyone measure their 150mm-170mm drop posts and let me know the distance from qr to seatclamp?
Also if anyone else has drilled their Five any pictures would be great!
Thanks,
Si
