I think I might just be able to squeeze the 210mm into my Remedy. I've got a 185mm in there already (Bikeyoke) but it suddenly seems shrivelled and inadequate.
If anyone wants a MK1 post there's currently $30 off the price - so making it around £129 delivered.

I had a few problems getting the dropper to move, due to the outer cable housing being used to actuate it rather than the cable.
The bottom of the dropper is close to the exit port on the seatpost, and the cable routing bends tightly. Like dumbbot's picture.
The moving cable outer was binding on the edges of the exit. First I enlarged the port but that didn't help much. Then I ground a chamfer on the inside and outside of the exit which has fixed the problem.
The actuation is usable but heavier than other posts - Thomson, BrandX, Reverb.
I also found that, unused over the winter, the actuator got quite sticky and the post lost about a third of its pressure and wouldn't return to maximum height.
Adjusting the air pressure is a faff as the saddle has to come off to reach the valve, and getting it all together again is fiddly.
Quite easy to check the operation off the bike - press the post down on a flat surface, to depress the green actuator at the bottom.
Apparently OneUp are working on a new actuation mechanism which will use cable movement rather than outer housing, which would be a welcome improvement.
Apart from needed air twice mine has been faultless in past 14 months. Been through all sorts of weather conditions and washed many times.
Hard to fault. I find it super smooth and has the least amount of play of any dropper I have tried. It’s also the only 150 dropper I could fit in my frame.
New one is out in June, but until mine proper breaks I feel no need to change it!
@dumbbot - did this dropper work on your Swarf in the end? Just ordered the same frame and was thinking of getting this dropper.
