    Do any exist?

    I’m not fussed about budget, so what’s peoples’ experiences?

    My Mrs has an RSP Plummet. Only thing she finds an issue is being so light she has to bounce on it to make it drop sometimes. Very easy to disassemble and clean up. £80 or so, and I think a decent product for that price.

    Gravity dropper us brilliant, can’t say it doesn’t wobble though but it’s unnoticeable when riding only when you put your hand on the saddle & wobble it. Looks ugly as sin but mine has been faultless over 7.5 thousand miles

    RSP Plummet here – there is a little bit of play when you pull it from side to side, but I can’t feel it when I’m in the saddle.

    Thumb shifter seems a bit on the stiff side, though, and I have a feeling it’s going to need stripping down pretty regularly.

    I’ve got a Plummet as well, as above, it’s a bit agricultural but it works. Easy to strip down, less than £80 if you look around.
    Mine wobbles a bit, same as my mates Reverb…

    I suspect they all wobble a bit. Not noticeable when riding.

    I have a Gravity Dropper that’s 2 years old- works like new and don’t notice any movement when in the saddle.
    I also have a T-Mars dropper on the hardtail- similar agricultural design but the remote lets it down. Both are easy to service.
    Ks make a 27.2 dropper that’s looks great but comes with a huge £330 price tag!

    I have 3 gravity droppers, the oldest of which will be 10 years old in July. No noticeable wobble on any of them.

    I’ve had 2 2014 HiLos, both went back and I gave up. Neither returned to full height as not enough pressure in them. Had them checked / serviced as after putting more in they sank a little even after following the instructions and ‘official’ fixes. Not a great experience. Will get a gravity dropper if I can find one with the spec I want at a sensible price.

    For completely wobble free the Thomson is probably the only one that will deliver this but this, but at a price.
    The hilo does wobble a bit, mines about 1mm either way and it’s over a year old. The hilo isn’t perfect, it’s been back under warranty once and losses a bit of pressure over time, but for £125 is not been a bad buy.

    If the hilo dies I’ll get a Thomson to replace it though, unless I change my frame.

    The Spesh command post has been pretty good for me
    Was expecting some fail but it’s managed 3 yrs without a peep

    I’ve got friends with both fox & Thomson ones and while they look pimp
    They’re quite pricey at RRP
