Do you have any issues putting your seatpost fully down? I'm using a spare post as my reverb has shat itself, but it won't go lower than the top tube weld (alu version obviously) - I can't see any reason other than a defect / burr or something.. or is this how it is?
Before I go off finding someone with a seattube reamer or hacksawing the post.
Cheers!

Er, I never drop my seat. I just sit on it at the proper height & let the rear suspension do its job.
Some people might have a problem with that concept.
Well aren't you just amazing.
Yep, it's really not that difficult.
Arent posts supposed to be inserted further than the top tube?
Does the reverb go in further?
Well I aspire to your skill sir. Meanwhile in the real world with dropper posts and quick releases (obviously both a waste of time and money for you), we drop the post to get down steep terrain without a saddle trying to buck you off.
I'll wait until a mere mortal can help with my question...

Like people who get their arses off the seat to ride the bike properly?
The toptube on a large SB66 joins the seattube about 15cm down - otherwise, yes that would be pretty ridiculous! I only ask really as the amount of drop I can get now isn't too dissimilar to a bike with an interrupted seattube..
Mines a bit like this one:

The tube might be butted preventing the seat post going any further.
I'd check with Yeti if this is expected.
Yeah - I was hoping this great forum might have someone who could confirm or not quickly.. rather than criticise my riding style 😉 (what was I thinking...)

Not at all, nothing wrong with a good pounding in the arse. Whatever floats your boat I spose
My small sb swallows a lot of post, should be getting down to near the pivot forging.
Did your reverb not go further?
Ps, riding a bike over bumps whilst sitting down is pretty stupid and not really how a bile should be ridden. Its your choice though, just a bit of a waste.
A bit of a waste? How?
For the record, the post drops all the way on my medium.
Kiwijohn, you're clearly pissed after those three beers 😀

ha. So Kiwijohn could have saved this whole thread with that single answer - i.e. yes, it should go down further...
No idea if the reverb went down further - I never had to try it out.. I'm guessing not though!
kiwijohn are you saying you stay seated all the time? You must be shit down steep techy hills

Kiwijohn... have you fitted a fist shaped saddle by any chance?

He'd have had to get off the saddle to check, though.
