    Yeah, I was wondering if this would happen. If you buy one for one bike and not the other it would be interesting to see how 'useful' you find it and if you have to get one for the other bike.
    MTB/CX

    Which is what happened to me. Got a command post on the enduro. When I first built the C456 up (as a 2nd bike) I didn't bother with a dropper. Only lasted about 3 weeks before I got one for that too. (reverb).
    Also had a KS on previous bike. Wouldn't be without one on any bike - unless I get a DH monster, don't think that will need one :)

    Was almost tempted to get a second on my order anyway :), but thought I'd try this out first and decide.

    Could swap over with a shim and probably will do that to try it out. Practically it's hassle though as I swap between the bikes often and would have to take the lever off the bars, unclip the cable, and the reverse to put it on the other bike. When I just get home and have 10 minutes to fly out the door picking up the bike on the way it's hassle.

    Post back with the figures as I mentioned, as you need far more than 120mm visible in order to go for the 125 drop.

    Just measured mine, from bottom of collar to seat rails is 190mm. Mines a 125 drop. So on the same basis, a 100 drop will need you to run approx 165mm of post.

    Ok about to pull the trigger on one of these, this has been helped by some mental deals currently CRC.

    My numbers are this - diameter 31.6, 185 above the frame and 200 inside the frame (mm)

    I really want the 125 drop, but that's not on sale, so may just opt for the 100

    Thanks
