Longjohn ★ Posted October 5, 2017 Share #3 Posted October 5, 2017 I think they are for schraphing, or maybe manuals, get one and try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital_photog ★ Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share #4 Posted October 5, 2017 I have a manual for my ham radios. I don't see anything about dropper seat posts in it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisL Posted October 5, 2017 Share #5 Posted October 5, 2017 Mainly for schralpers who dont want the seat in the way on gnarly descents. XC mtn bikes usually dont have them either. Skip the dropper on your gravel grinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted October 5, 2017 Share #6 Posted October 5, 2017 Talk to DH. If you can drop her you don'tr need a new seatpost. If you can't you would probably get better results with improvements to the engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtyhip Posted October 5, 2017 Share #8 Posted October 5, 2017 if you do steep descents, a dropper will improve your performance and you will have more fun in the process I considered one for the Crux, because of the type of decsents I do. I opted against it, because I will just end up going too fast on 35's. That is a dangerous game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
