So what’s happened to all the 27.2 dropper posts with a lever?

[The Kilt]

About 5 years ago I purchased a KS dropper post with a lever rather than remote as it was an Xc/Commuter On-One Inbred 29er and I didn’t like the additional cables. Now trying to find another for my current ‘dale and cannot find them anywhere, they are all either internal or external remotes. I found a few from the states but none in the uk and all prices seemed to have sky rocketed since I purchased the last one. Any ideas?

China isnt shipping anymore. im in a similar boat. I have an inbred that i occasionally get a twitch to fit a dropper post too. 2 years ago it would have cost me 90 quid for an undersaddle version now it will cost 150 quid for a remote version.

I guess there isnt enough call for them now either. If you find a cheap one let me know.

I wish I never sold my inbred to be honest, that bike was great. I’m keeping my eye out on eBay. There is a Thomson dropper on eBay right now, finishing in 40 mins…

That looks a bit cheap and nasty. The KS post I had worked flawlessly for years, never serviced it. Wish I could buy back my old inbred but can’t find the buyers contact info!

There was a ks on there too. Agreed it looks elcheapo.

XLC has some 27,2 mm ones in various length. I'm using the 65mm one and will go for a longer one. My 65mm XLC is for sale.

Works great!

Tranz-x makes one, the jump seat model. Although I think the 27.2 version has way less drop.

I’ve got one of those on my 27.2 Thomson and it works superbly.
