“that shi t was sold in the uk by a certain retailler”
Yes superstar sell them
Wiggle also sell them
Leisure Lakes also sell them
I guess others do?
Singletrack mag seemed to like them? They reckoned the i950 (and newer sealed i900) should last a lot better than the older sealed i900
“On a normal 18″ frame I’d not be able to fit a 6″ dropper post”
Bare in mind that the KSi950 supernormal (the 6″/150mm drop one) has a post length of 430mm. So it ought to fit you?
I keep wondering whether I should get an i950 150mm, (you know like every other bike part out there to buy .. )
Since going back to a normal post I’ve barely missed my i900r* tbh, even with my frames 3″ or so of saddle drop. I thought I would miss it terribly but just not so. Granted I can drop a standard post on a smoothish, flattish surface at slow-medium speed, and the wear on my post marks my ‘proper’ up position really quite well but still
*out of warranty, it won’t stay down, side-side slop** was pretty bad in the end even with new guide pins (rest will be worn). Just never been bothered to try getting it fixed out of warranty
**tbf it could be an advantage on loose rubbly climbs .. though a PITA when trying to ride anything slow/really techy
