Hi all. Dumb question maybe.

I have a Whyte T130rs Medium frame. I'm looking into replacing the Rockshox reverb dropper post with a Brand X Ascend which suits my budget. I'm a bit unsure on the size I need to order though.

The reverb is 30.9, 440mm 150 travel. I want pretty much like for like size wise.

The Brandx shows as 459mm. Would this still fit being 19mm longer?

Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Slightly longer insertion depth on the BX. Varies by frame, but if your post is inserted right up to the collar, you are best checking.

You also need to look up insertion depth as the collars can be different. Both mine and MrsF's droppers are just 5mm above the seat post collar for our posts, so more of a check the height if we repace them.

Good advice thanks MrF. The reverb currently sits with about a 10mm gap. Not much room to play with 😵‍💫
