Hi - Does anyone on here have any experience of the KS Lev dropper seat post? I've seen positive reviews of it, but it does;'t seem to get as much airtime as the reverb, yet on the face of it, it does seem like a much more sensible proposition. Any views welcome.

    I've got one of each. The problem is the Lev is it's so new it's not had much chance to get airtime. All I can really say is that after three good rides with it I'm still liking it. Having a nice tidy not-really-moving cable is cool, and the lever integrating with the ODI grip collar is smart as well.

    Drill a hole in your seat tube and get a Reverb Stealth. You know you want to.

    I changed to the lev from a reverb for the extra drop (I'm 6ft 5"). Both as good as each other tbh, however i prefer the lev lever. Had it about 6-8 months now without a single issue. I'd rather use this than drill a hole in my frame and void the warranty.

    Only used my LEV for a few rides but all positive so far. Easy to set up, the fixed cable routing is great and integrating the lever into an ODI collar is a stroke of genius. The motion is very smooth and well controlled. Pretty much all the rides I've done have been really wet muddy rides and its worked fine and I haven't noticed any extra stiction.

    Hopefully I can say the same a few months down the road ...
