Hi all,

I have just sent back my Thomson dropper for the second time in the last 9 months. It developed a side to side play on both occasions and I have requested a refund from Merlin. Not sure of the chances of getting one but I don't really want another Thomson so assuming I have a choice I have been looking at the KS Lev. I really like the cable location but don't know much about them so has anyone got any opinions of them?

Alternatively anyone know of any other posts with a similar cable entry to the Lev? I saw a prototype Vecnum dropper at this years mega that looked pretty sweet but don't know when it's coming out ๐Ÿ™

I've got a Lev but I've only had it since March. So far it's not missed a beat. I clean it after every muddy ride and spray fork juice on it every now and then.

I've also got a Lev as it was the only decent dropper post in 27.2 diameter. I've had mine for over a year now and it hasn't missed a beat. There is a little side to side play but you can't feel it when you are riding. I really rate them.

Got one, a year in no problems. It's developing a slight bit of bush wear but I'm keeping an eye on it and working out what's involved in changing them. Feels the same as any reverb.
