As title.
Does anyone do a layback dropper post any more.
I know the old specialized command post was but cant seem to find one.
Cheers
Steve
Are you still buying bikes that don't fit you? seriously?
I have a couple of used Specialized Command posts IRs in the loft, taken of Abigales bikes as she needed 170mm drop for ease when competing, if you are interested. They would come with new brand X lever and cables.
In good condition, £65 each posted
KS Dropzone. Ive got 2...had them years and they have been very reliable (although before that i had Joplins so my benchmark was low)
The Kore dropper that came on the Mrs' Orange has some layback, no idea if you can buy them aftermarket though. Plus it's pretty shit so wouldn't overly recommend it. Plus modern bikes are made to be used with inline posts, so why would you want one?

Hey Tracey.
Don't suppose you know what travel they are. I think he's after a 150mm drop.
Thanks.

I have the 9point8 fall line on two bikes and the my have been great, albeit after a few set up issues, which were my fault.
Brand X have a bit of lay back.
No layback on a Brand X dropper post .
Ks eten does. I switched to a tranz-x as I could not get the saddle in a good position with the eten. This was on an older frame that could only take 27.2mm.
The Command post Max size is 125mm. The new ones are 150mm and 170mm but arent laid back

That's because the people who make bikes don't make them to fit everyone. They make them to fit Mr Average.... Good for you being average and all...
OP
I've got two 9point8 Fall Lines as well. Pricey (although they did reduce them recently) but good bits of kit.

He's trying to set his bike up more like an old geometry DH bike. Shorter reach frame with slack seat angle. Only cares about descending, doesn't like riding uphill so uses uplift or pushes.
