the cable is always the week spot of any dropper no matter who makes it, cables and dropper posts should never ever collide in the same sentance.
I don’t understand this at all, what is it about seatposts that you think is incompatible with cables, when they work so well on gears?
I’ve got 3 cable-operated droppers, fitted with quality cables… they need a little cable tlc from time to time- about once a year, on average. Otherwise, no issues, and infrequent servicing.
I did break a cable mount in the alps, and you know what? If it’d been a reverb, I’d have been screwed. But with the cable operated post, I could still operate it manually. Fixing it used parts available for pennies from every bike shop in the world, to fix equivalent on a reverb would cost somewhere over £40 to fix, with parts you have to special order. That really sounds like progress.
