[#8274000]

Went in to the LBS with all of my Christmas money to buy a dropper.

They looked at the bike and informed me that I really should spend the cash on a back end rebuild as the bearings looked shot.

Cost of rebuild = Cost of dropper less £30.

No dropper for 3 months.

Arse.

Sounds like a good LBS to me. That said, it's hard to not notice a slack rear end....

Get some bearings yourself and DIY (no rocket science) + dropper in a few weeks?

Thought of that, but I'd rather cover the cost up front.

Bitter experience tells me to pay someone to do it. Besides, the back end on a Trigger looks like the landing gear on an F4 Phantom to me.

Thanks. I could have shimmed it, but the frame won't take a stealth.

I've got a 31.6 non-stealth 150mm Reverb sat around doing nothing at the moment, you can borrow that if CGGs doesn't work out for whatever reason, enquiries to the usual address...
