Just completing the gravel build and thinking about a dropper post. I don't use one so am not sure what I'd the lightest one is. I don't need a massive drop and don't really want to be changing bushibgson a regular basis. Any advice would help.
Cheers

Are you going to be riding singletrack on it or more fire roads and double track?

For the latter I wouldn't bother, for the former if you don;t use a dropper on an mtb you'll probably struggle to understand the need on a drop bar bike.

Unless you use a dropper quite a lot it's a big weight penalty to be carrying round the whole time.

Groovy. Classic 'you don't need that OP' response.. ๐Ÿ˜‰ ๐Ÿ˜†

In other news..

The Specialized Command Post appears to be reasonably light (and seemingly quite reliable too). ๐Ÿ™‚

KS Zeta is designed for road bikes. Pricey at the moment though.
