Seems like a fitting product for them, but would their Fox overlords allow it?A drop post???
Sounds expensive!It looks like Raceface is "dropping something new" on Friday! A drop post??? Let the speculation fly!

Good call on that, not sure how that would affect them on a product like that.Seems like a fitting product for them, but would their Fox overlords allow it?
Hadn't even seen that, looks an awful lot like a dropper and a remote lever now that you mention it.Good call on that, not sure how that would affect them on a product like that.
Not sure what else the subliminal background image could be.

I think the Fox remote sucks too. Amusingly, Crank Brothers actually had the best stock one, with the Joplin. Unfortunately it doesn't pull very much cable so it doesn't work very well with a lot of other posts.the only person I've ever heard of who bought one just told me he hates the remote on it...? so there's that. I wasn't pysched on it when I rode his, but I don't have much dropper post experience.
I've run one of those. It's easier to use than most of the standard levers for sure, but the stock Thomson one is actually pretty good, and I'm used to it at this point (have them on two bikes) so meh.neat.
Don't all the pros alter their cable actuated ones to use front der. shifters to actuate their droppers?
Yes, or buy one of purpose made things from Specialized, etc.neat.

Total revenue may not take a hit but why double the R&D costs?I also don't see why Fox would care, they are not losing sales per se. The holding company still gets the $ whether it comes through RF or Fox or Easton. No sales are lost.
Totally possible that they're largely rebadging a Doss, or at least borrowing technology.Total revenue may not take a hit but why double the R&D costs?
Ratboy won a WC.Another me too product in an already crowded field where everything is mfg. by the same people in Taiwan anyways? How exciting!
I'm down to 99% success rate. Curses.Ratboy won a WC.
Your opinion is suspect, Dr.
They should make a fat bike specific version that would have a really slow drop/rise and weigh a pound more. Call it the Humongous.
