Hi WAS
Did you go ahead and get any of these bulk bought in? I could be really tempted at the price.
Thanks
Gaz
Also interested if you got any in.
Anyone know if these come in different colours?
I've got some more TrailDrop posts coming soon, in any colour so long as its black with red bits. Planning to offer both cable entry options this time.
Will update when they arrive.
Can you add me to the PM list for when they arrive please?! Ta.
Likewise, I'd be happy to buy one depending on diameter.
Sure, they will all be 27.2 - shim to fit if you need.
How long are the new ones, are they still 350? I'm ideally looking for something 400+, if they're 420 then even better
Be interested as well, cheers.

Don't clicking in that link, someones put something nasty on it.
Interested too - clubber at lvis dot org fullstop uk
received my forca today and i am impressed, need a bit of fine tuning as i am worried about the cable on my rear tyre as i ride a 14 inch full suspension frame,so have routed it to the front. first impression are good.
I'll have one of those too was, if your matching their price.
i can confirm, that routing to the front is doable. the seat rails are symmetrical and will fit either way round.
been out again today and getting used to it. forgot i had it at times.

Funny, all the 27.2 folks about! Wouldn't it be awesome if rockshox went ahead and made a reverb for this size - pay top dolla for that (as my frame will outlast me)
🙂
Please add me to the PM list!
i 100% want/need one
Thanks for the headsup on the website, now fixed-ish.
Will let everyone know when they are back in.
Drop me a message when theyre in stock please was

cheers
Hmm might get one of these for the missus' bike.
Add me to the list please?
Add me too please
What do people thing of this:
These TrailDrop / Forca posts have just one drop (90mm)
Would 2 drop heights be appealing (55 and 110mm)?
Here the trade off will be the dropper part is slightly longer - so you need to have 200mm post showing before you can use one.
Price would be a little more though....
I've been riding with this seatpost on my bike for about 8 weeks now and I reckon it's one of the best bits of kit I've invested in for a long time.
I'm still fettling with the cable tension as I haven't quite found the sweet spot yet, but other than that it's great. I spent all of about 5 minutes yesterday dismantling it, cleaning and re-greasing to bring it back to full 'ejector seat' potency.
Really, really pleased with it.
B.
was- I'd be interested in a 110mm drop post if it was available, but I'm seriously considering the current model as well. When do you reckon they'll be back in stock?
Two height would be great but I think a small drop (25mm) and full drop would be better. The small drop is still pedal-able but slightly out the way. That's what I've got on my spesh post and it's great. Full height for climbing, small drop for general riding, full drop for techy stuff. Can't see the point in a mid position.Would 2 drop heights be appealing (55 and 110mm)?
110mm would be more than enough for me. I'd be very interested in a 25mm/90mm post for the mrs bike.
potentially interested too - tamarvin at googlemail dot com
cheers
Was - a 27.2mm dropper post with 110mm of travel!
That would make the post travel of any dropper post for 27.2 (as long as you ignore the crappy Rase thing). I think a [b]lot[/b] of people would be interested in that esp if it was a 400mm long post
Can I be added please? very interested
carl r donaldson @ gmail dot com
The 110 would be 420mm total length.
I like the idea of a 25mm drop and a 110mm drop, although I do like the simplicity of the basic version.
Will see what I can do - watch this space.
Hi was.
As per my email I'm definatly interested especially in the double drop option (initial 25mm would get my vote too).
I tried to set up a notification on your website but couldn't work it out so can i please ask that you add mortgageboyuk @ gmail . com to the list for when they are in stock please 😳
Hi Was
I'm interested in the standard version and would be very interested in a 110 drop if you get anywhere with it, so please add me to the list
chris dot jefford at pjma dot eu
Thanks
110mm drop on a 420mm post is the way forward for me
Another very interested here too: andymcstayatgmaildotcom
Now we're talking 110 mm drop with two settings I'm in.

Hi everyone,
Rather than leaving your email address in this thread (not sure how conformant it is to STW rules), please subscribe to email updates on the website - www.bigmassive.co.uk - which had some issues earlier in the week but is fixed now.
Alternatively email me directly at: will@bigmassive.co.uk
I promise I won't spam you, you will just get notified of stock arrival!
90mm @ current price is excellent
110mm @ current price plus a little bit would be friggin great!
I currently use a 27.2 GD Turbo with the multi-position - 1" or 4" down - and love it. From experience so far I'd say a 110mm with a 25mm secondary down position would be more useful that a 110mm with a 55mm down option. A cheaper-than-GD version would be utterly brilliant. I've already subscribed for updates 🙂
i am finding that the full drop a "little" too much. it's way out of the way and find it difficult at times to weight the seat to bring it back to full extension when required( i am extremely short in leg). somewhere half way and only that would be good enough for me.
Any news on these? Do we have a likely timescale for the next batch?
I'm confused.. is the traildrop a rebadged forca Vario?
The Forca Vario (and a few others) is similar, the TrailDrop has some detail differences.
Folks: a new batch has landed. Sign up on the website to get notified when they are QC'd ready to send out.
TrailDrop has some detail differences.
Which are? Do you change the cable?
I'm really interested to know what the differences are as well.
Hi guys.
TrailDrop has a different remote cable arrangement (see pics on website), different bushing material and comes with a dirt boot included. They are supplied only in 27.2 with no shim supplied - multi fit shims are poor IMO and there's to many sizes of shims to hold stock of at the moment, so you need to buy a shim elsewhere if you need (~£4 online).
TrailDrop posts are now in stock again online: [url= http://www.bigmassive.co.uk/TrailDrop ]TrailDrop 27.2 dropper seatpost by BigMassive.co.uk[/url]
Cheers.
Only 30 days warranty?? Doesn't the Reverb have 24 months??
Only 30 days warranty?? Doesn't the Reverb have 24 months??
Probably. And costs 3x the price. And doesn't come in 27.2mm.
Pays your money...
Any news on the multi position drop post? Say 25mm & 125mm
Very interested in this, simple as I'm stuck with 27.2. Seems It's this or a Hilo.

I'll leave the full 'Sale Of Goods Act' spiel to TJ but I think you can reasonably expect a seatpost to last longer than a month.
Yeah, you can't get out of SOGA so it'll have to be 'fit for purpose' for 1 year. Of course, you could insist on cleaning/maintenance after every x hours to ensure that it'll last that long.
I would also be interested in the 25mm/110mm version. Have signed up for updates.
ANyone got any pics of the TrailDrop on their bikes?
Still waiting for the longer version, could do with 420mm post

What he said, if they just do a 'Fox' and say its a high performance racing product that needs servicing after every 15 minutes of use I am sure they will get away with it 😉
15 minutes would see it not being fit for purpose though 😉
Indeed the TrailDrop does require a regular clean and regrease (takes all of 5 minutes). I personally do mine approx every other wet mucky ride, a similar period to cleaning the chain. If / when the bushes wear they are very cheap and can be replaced in the same 5 minutes.
If you break a component we carry a full compliment of spares.
TrailDrops are very simple - 2 metal posts running on a plastic bushing with a sprung steel pin. There is little to go wrong, but if it does I will endeavour to sort it out.
Still very interested in the 420mm length post with the 110mm of drop.
Any news on this? Or expected date for sale?
was - tempted by one of these...if I ordered today, what are the chances of it arriving by the weekend? I assume you post royal mail?
Nice. Could be tempted for the s/s.
If there is little to go wrong, why not have more faith in the product and offer more than 30 days?
Price is only an invitation to treat.
No law that says you have to buy.
There is a law that says the product has to be fit for purpose and if it failed after 30 days, I'm pretty confident that that wouldn't meet the requirement..
Was - I'm sure the seatpost is fine and that you'd support any issues. I'd be buying one if I didn't need layback but you can't limit your warranty to 30 days.
Appears to have sold out already !
When is the next batch due ?
I have to say I'd not be keen to spend my cash on any bike part that only came with a 30 day warranty, and particularly not a part that is notorious for going wrong. If the big boys struggle to get it right then I'm unconvinced that this budget version is going to be any better.
I think I'm guilty of looking at stuff like this and thinking it looks like a good deal, but in reality its still the best part of 100 quid for a seatpost...so not cheap and I'd expect it to last.
shame, as I was considering one for my 456....
Appears to have sold out already !
or the OP has withdrawn stock from sale while he has a think about warranties. Don't want this to turn into another Fruit / superstar debacle though, do we?
I want to try one of these, good weight and they supposedly have zero play.
