Does anyone know of any? There's the Transition Trans AM and the Orange Crush but there must be others?

My Soul doesn't have a 30.9 (it's a 27.2) but my BFe does.

Why does it need to be 30.9? Dropper post compatibility? You could always find a frame with 31.6 and get a shim - that might broaden your options to include the likes of BFe/ Evil Sov' and others.

Or buy a gravity dropper?

Having bought a new reverb and a 2nd hand gravity dropper recently, unless you actually want a new frame, just buy a gravity dropper. That way it will fit any frame you buy using shims.

The Reverb is nicer and more adjustable but quite clearly has lots more to go wrong too. My GD only had two settings but on my hardtail I am happy to run it a little lower as standard then stand up for the toughest parts of the climbs ๐Ÿ™‚

Which one will I be using next winter ?? ๐Ÿ™‚
