Just received an email from SS Components.
They are selling KS dropper posts from £125 and the LEV dropper post for £195.
Thought you may want to take a peek?

AFAIK, only electrical goods legally have to be sold with a manufactures warranty.

Not really. I've already got an i7r and I swap it between bikes. Fancy another so I don't have to swap.

very tempting...
what are the chances of the Reverb UK distributor nullifying their relationship with Rockshox?

Hardly (if any) cheaper than a Reverb.

Hmm, I've had a Lev on backorder from Wiggle for a while, quite tempted to cancel and grab a 6 inch Supernatural instead... HMMMMMMM. (unfortunately no cheap 6 inch Lev at SS)

Hardly (if any) cheaper than a Reverb.

But with some advantages over it (Supernatural comes with up to 6 inch drop, Lev has the better cabling)

Sale of Goods Act still applies.

The advantage I'm thinking of is decent backup when it goes wrong. 5" drop on the Reverb is more than enough and the cabling hasn't been a problem on my Five with proper guides on it?

where can I get a Reverb for £150?

Mine came from ze Germans but IIRC, CRC and On-One and maybe Merlin too had them at that price a month or so back.

I don't want a 27.2 Reverb?
