Think it was only available on eBay and only in 30.9mm? I can't recall the brand but it was recommended on here.

Anyone remember the brand, crucially it was adjustable, possibly by cutting down a shim/ or rotating a shim or something?

Thanks!

If you can't find it, and adjustability is important, One-Up components posts can be shimmed down up to 20mm from their full extension. (They come with the shims to do it and it's easy to do).

They're not in the "cheap" category but they are pretty good value and support a huge range of sizes, lengths etc.

Thanks guys, it might be the Tranz X.

@reeksy Oddly it is to do with that.lol Higher "stack height" saddle to protect the new plumbing might mean a shorter dropper needed.

The Bi-saddle. Odd name!

Pic won't work.😕

Shorter cranks have the same effect as a shorter dropper, might be worth a go with that if it's a small enough difference

I also have a 30.9 150/135 transx that could be released for the right price with brand X lever. Removed from new HT and never used. 🙂

Probably this. Were at £65 for ages, but now out of stock and more expensive, but still a decent deal. Get a ZTTO lever off Ali express and you’ll be good https://sportandleisure.com/products/tranzx-rad-adjustable-travel-dropper-post-30-9mm-170mm-travel

Or a Shimano MT500. That's what I use with the TransX.
