Gravity dropper or Gravity dropper Turbo by far. But the KS i7 is pretty good as well.

I believe that the Thomson 27.2 post is due out very soon , it will probably be worth waiting for . I have had a play with a 30.9 version and it seems very smooth with absolutely no play .

I've just got a TMARS post, no long term info yet (only had it a couple of weeks) but it works very well so far.

I had my gravity dropper for years, hardly missed a beat and as far as I know is still going strong... Ace kit. Good weight, too, and the cable at the right end.

thomson 27.2 dropper will retail for 350. I personally loathe gravity droppers because they're not infinite-adjust like the reverbs.
I've had a thomson 27.2 dropper on backorder since they were announced though for my fatbike and I believe i-ride are saying by the end of june

Still waiting on Thomson, getting cheesed off with their lack of/misleading info on 27.2 shipping dates.

My KS racing one was perfect. No idea of its name i900? Or i750 summit like that.

I took it apart once and it was mint inside after three years of use and no servicing.

I used to say GravityDropper, but after they filled out a customs form incorrectly and I got charged over £45 in duty for a $20 repair, they promised to help but then went quiet when I gave them the helpline number. I'd already correctly paid £45 duty on both posts I ordered from them (one before they distributed in the UK, one more recently as I couldn't find a non-remote one)
