Really wanting a dropper post and got my eyes on the KS Lev, exactly what I'm wanting, my favorite remote and the cable goes into the base so no cables everywhere when the seat is down.

Only problem is that on bike-discount they recommend a max weight of 90kg. Being just over 100kg I'm a bit over this. I can't find any mention of a weight limit on the KS site or anywhere else though so are bike-discount making this up? I never land on my saddle hard and I've never bent or broken a seatpost before (apart from the I Beam ones with manufacturing faults). Do you think I can get away with this? Ideally, are there any KS users (bike-discount say the same about all the KS models) that are about the same weight as me?
