What’s available in the right size for a 456 summer season in dropper posts? Loving the one on my trek ex8 but seeing as it’s in the shop for repairs ive started to wonder what’s available for my other bike!

I assume a 456 has a 27.2mm seatpost?
That leaves you with a gravity dropper of some spec. or a KindShock i7. Leisure lakes should give you a better price for Kindshock than superstar will

or an xfusion hilo

price is in usd $ converts into £ nicely

Gravity dropper turbo- light and reliable. And fugly and expensive. But focus on the first 2 😉 I’d be more inclined to recommend KS if mine had ever worked properly- in the middle of servicing it, maybe I’ll be happier next week.

I have been having issues with the KSi7, it has been back once already for failing after one ride, promtly failed again after one ride so ent back for a replacement, if it fails again it will be going back for a refund and i will stick with a GD 😥

+1 for the gravity dropper…
its exactly like northwind says !
