[Closed] PSA - Reverb @ CRC £130

Enter code UVF1690 for free dropper post, delivered in a Spar bag.

@DT78,

Thanks for that I've ordered a 420mm long with 100mm drop as I ride a large Anthem X4, I think my original connect post is 400mm so it should be ok.

Dave

Cheers Leku - mines ordered 😀

Mine ordered too. Credit card has taken a few hits this week...

Reverbs from CRC, Merlin and Wiggle ?

And on-one?

CRC - 420mm, LH remote that will go under the RH side.

The only one I want is the sold out one 🙁

Oh well, that didn't last long, snooze you lose!

I'm quite glad actually, nearly got carried away in the excitment, but £130 for a half kilo seatpost does seem stupid with hindsight.

Really tempted with this as I have been dropper post curious for a while.

Stupid question time, can you run this below max height? I need it about 10mm shorter ideally due to not being able to drop the post far enough into the frame. I know that means I won't get the max drop but can you set it to stop 10mm short?

Thanks in advance.

lucky for me they don't make a 400mm post with 125mm drop...nearly bought one!

thank god for riding small bikes

Another stupid question - Where is the 420 or 355 measured from? Is it the bit that fits into the frame then add the 100 or 125 drop?

Dammit! Shouldn't really... but... dammit!

It's the total length of the post. Measure how much of your current seatpost is out the frame and use that to determine which size you need. It'll depend on the minimum insertion you need.

Why is the 31.6 and 410mm post still £209 and everything else reduced?

They do a 410mm with 125drop, what are you on about?

I know that means I won't get the max drop but can you set it to stop 10mm short?

No but you might find +10mm is good for pedaling uphills, I run my reverb quite a bit higher than I ever did the solid post.

The save15 code has just been noticed 🙂 - now expired 🙁

Excuse my ignorance but what does MMX mean?

Ta.

Noticed the code seemed to disappear when the Jan sale email came out, and most of that stuff is random tat theyve had on sale for ages.

Got one of the last cheap Merlin ones, was surprised to see it was aftermarket with bleed kit etc, works out same price as the crc once you buy the extras.

Gonna be quite a few under Xmas trees this year!

It relates to the clamp. You *can* use it to have a single clamp for your Avid post 2011 brakes, Sram shifters and Reverb.

IF you don't have these you can just use it as a normal clamp, removing the bits you don't need.

Cheers rickon. I was not aware of that.

You sound like you're trying to convince yourself. 🙂

mine's in the post already 😀

I am getting CRC vouchers for birthday/xmas bet there won't be any left by xmas 🙁

Annoys me that the CRC discount vouchers don't work any more, despite being advertised as working til Dec 24th! I feel a stern email coming on...

Anyway... Still ordered at £144.99 cos was too good a deal to miss out, even if I couldn't save another £15. Bought via quidco though, so will save another 3% off when its been processed.

Think i am too late. wanted 125 drop on 30.9 but says they are discontinued.
Any other places selling them this cheap??

Got my 31.6 and its dispatched already 😀

So excuse the dumb question if i order a 420 long post with 100mm drop, can I assume the length of the 30.9 post tube is 320mm, hoping I haven't ordered one that's too long.

I think you'd subtract the height off the collar too. Also, if your current post has more than 100mm exposed now, then you won't inset it fully anyway.

I'm tempted too. I cant see any issue with sizing though? Do issues arise re frame design? I ride a hard tail with a 410mm post that's shows a fair bit. So I assume that if I buy a 420mm reverb that it works the same. I have it where my static pin is now but with the benefit of a drop?

I went the other way and bought a 180Gr carbon seatpost instead 🙂

I think the 125mm post is 190mm from the seat clamp to the rails, so the 100mm is probably 165mm.

Delivered already!

I don't have one but am willing to be convinced: what benefit does it offer over just moving your weight off and behind the saddle? For the purposes of discussion, let's assume there's no beer gut getting in the way...

Much more maneuverability. You can lower your c-o-g without having to hang off the back of the bike.

Next time you ride a steep technical downhill, ride it with your seat down and feel the difference. Then imagine being able to flick from this to full pedalling height and back in a second...

I was like you, having ridden with my saddle at full height for the last 25 years. Sure it's not necessary, but makes riding more enjoyable.

if you have your seat up your centre of gravity has to move backwards to get lower, it removes weight and grip from the front wheel. It is all so much easier with the seat out of the way.

I love my dropper seatpost. One day I want to change my hardtail for one with a 30.9 seat tube so I can get one on that bike as well.

Next time you ride a steep technical downhill, ride it with your seat down and feel the difference.

Yeah, I should try that more. As I say, I'm willing to be convinced, but it's a lot to spend on something that adds weight if you're not sure it'll give a benefit.

Ease of movement all the time. Lower centre of gravity rather than just moving it back. Move bike sideways as well as back/forth. Use legs more as suspension on landings.

If you don't like dropping your saddle then you still won't, and some people are so used to riding things with the seat up it'll time to adapt- and why bother, if you like things as they are? But there are big advantages there, if you can use them.

You also don't smash your knackers/lady garden into the saddle/seatpost when the bike stops dead going down steep tech bits. 😉

Anyone know what happened about the save15 voucher?

I went to the garage to measure my current post, came back in to order and it wouldnt work.
Left it till today but still not working.

all the "save" vouchers seem to have quietly been pulled/expired with the arrival of the january sale.

So who's actually received theirs yet?

Ordered mine on 21st I think... OK, it's christmas, but it's still not here!

Ironically ordered a tyre for my GF's bike from CRC also on the 23rd, that arrived on the 29th!

Come on CRC, where's my bloody reverb?!?!
