27.2 XFusion HiLo update – it does the job fine. Having done a few rides using the under-saddle lever I installed the remote, rode with that last night, and won’t go back to the lever.
The supplied remote, cable and sheath all work fine for me.
I probably don’t use more than 30mm or 40mm of drop on my XC bike for local singletrack, so IMO 100mm is plenty of drop, I wouldn’t pay more for more drop.
No creaks, it all works OK. The seat clamp is easy to use. The saddle moves a couple of mm side to side but I don’t notice it riding, it’s a non-issue.
I am a dropper convert, and even on my weight-weenie SS rigid bike, I think the dropper earns its keep easily. It transforms the ride, and also is a bit handy when climbing out of the saddle to put the saddle well out of the way.
Wiggle seem to have cottoned on and put the price up to £175.
