From the video: "Oh my God, this is not a good idea!"

We had a previous thread here in DH/FR where we had some chuckles at the XC dudes falling over from smallish obstacles, but that seatpost height is a real killer for your agility - even worse than the head angle probably.

If you want to have a laugh, this is easy to test for anyone, if you haven't already. Be prepared for OTBs though!

No oxygen masks this time? Not scientific, I am disappoint.

Them Brits are slipping up more and more, eh?

My issue is that droppers have too much drop. I don't need a lot more room, and it just feels wrong for the seat to go lower than on my DH bike. A 50 or 80mm dropper would be perfect.

But it's too long, overall, IMO
I've just got LEV (not DX) 335x100 for my new Glory for some "commuting" from one valley to another. We'll see, if it was good idea

400mm Post might be enough, that's what I run now and it's just tall enough.​

Never could I subscribe to this concept, where this option lies now still does not intrigue. I swapped-out my QR Hope clamp this season.

gravity dropper. i run the 1" and 3" drop version and i agree, it's all i need. they also offer a 2" drop and do custom drops.

for park riding a couple inches of height adjustment is perfect , but when it comes to true techy single track i like as much up and down adjustment as i can get with the seat .
