I'm about to buy an adjustable seatpost for my trailbike. If anybody has any input on which brand is best or lever vs remote please tell me what you thank.

Specialized Command Post. It is a collet style, which means when it locks in place it doesn't rock. Mine had been maintenance free for almost a year. I got it in late February last year.

I have a RS reverb and have loved every minute it has been on my bike. It has slight play at the nose of the saddle but nothing i have ever noticed while riding. Actuation is silky smooth and it is infinitely adjustable. Also you can carry the bike by the seat even when the saddle is compressed without it pulling up.

Bottom line i just love the ease of the hydraulic system and it feels and works great

X2 on the reverb i love it both my wife and I have them on our trail bikes and I am extremely rough on equipment . Do not buy a Joplin I had way too many fail on me.

I have a Salsa QR...well greased pivot. Would really like to try one of these things, but only if they promise I never have to work on the thing.

Take a look at the X-Fusion HiLo. Lower cost than the rest and you can us it with the remote or without the remote.

I'd do a Hilo but 100mm? Seriously? Way too little IMO. At least for me... I have LONG legs though, so maybe I need more drop than others.

If I were getting one TODAY, it would be a 125mm Reverb. If I could wait a month or two, probably the 150mm version of the KS.

I got the 125mm RS reverb a few days ago. Its awesome. Thanks for the input guys.

Does anyone know of an adjustable post that will fit a 30.0 seat tube diameter? I have a Transition Dirtbag with 30.0 seat tube and haven't seen one that will fit yet... they all seem to be 30.9 or larger.

I've had a newer Joplin 4 for a few months and have had no issues. It's the best investment I've made by far.

I have a Gravity Dropper with remote lever. I love it, works great. Other newer designs may have smoother operation, but I haven't used them. My GD does have a bit of slop when I wiggle the saddle by hand, but I don't notice it while riding.

The Gravity Dropper comes in 27.2 size, which you could then get a shim to make it fit 30.0.
