My mate recently bought an orange alpine, we went riding the weekend and his bike is fitted with a rock shox reverb, every time I was having to stop and lower my seat on a downhill and then get off and put it back up when just normal riding. It never bothered me before until I had a go on his and was blown away, a great bit of kit but....pricey. I have seen an alternative in the maverick speedball, are these any good or is there ny other cheaper options I could get a similar effect from?
This is an ok cheaper option ......

Whatever post you choose they are worth every penny and will improve riding no end!!
this has been debated about twice a week 🙂
All have had some reliability issues so new with warranty is good.
From what I recall the Maverick Speedball is v old then became the CB Joplin. Questionable reliability.
Metal Tube with Spring - Gravity Dropper Variants
Work, limited drop points (1 or 2 not infinite) can be serviced at home.
CB Kronlog - avoid
Reverb or KS
Infinite adjustment, well used and liked. Good warranty backup.
I'm just looking at price, was hoping to pick up a used one for quite cheap hence the maverick, I will have a look around the forums
I'm considering the tmars on ebay for £70 for the wife's bike
KS Lev - not cheap, but worth ever penny!
