My son is 9. He’s about average or slightly less in height and is on a 24″ Saracen with 26″ Fox 34s and BIG Hans Dampf tyres. It’s a great bike but if he’s in the correct body position for pedaling uphill he can barely touch the ground with tip toes when we stop.
I’d like to get him a dropper as he’s been asking for one since he realised I had one and use it all the time.
So the question is with an max travel available of 2-3″ between fully up and bottomed out what dropper fits the bill? Would be great if it’s possible to add shims to reduce travel if that’s an option like on the OneUp Mk1 as that’ll allow it to extend as he grows.
Spec would be:
Remote
Stealth
30.9mm (I think)
Reducible in height so I can get it to fit him and extend it as he grows.
Oh and if anyone has one for a 2nd hand sale that’d be great. ;o)
