haha... i always thought they went down automatically

shows how much i know about dropper posts

 

[kickstand]

I still barely even use the dropper that came with my bike. I run my seat "high" on my DH bike. I do however think it's kind of a cool concept.

I think that's a great idea. It seems like perpetual motion though unless there is some way to add energy to the system. Or if you had to charge an air-spring before each ride or something.

"Sitting on the seat and compressing the post all the way relieves the energy stored in the coil spring, recharges the air spring, a resets the control tube using a hydraulic piston, prepping the post to return to the fully extended position when you chose."
