Hi,

I've decided the Rockrider 9.2 would be the best bike upgrade for me.

However the description says the seatpost is 29.8mm diameter. Can I fit a reverb?

Thanks

    That's really annoying. Any other makes that will fit?

    What sort of dropper do you want?
    Remote operated or under saddle?
    Hydraulic/pneumatic or mechanical?

    Remote operated like a reverb. Assume reverbs are hydraulic? If so then hydraulic. Basically I wanted a reverb.

    I think the reverb is the only hydraulic one out there.... Its also one of the best so who can blame you for wanting one?
    Find a different bike :lol:

    If there's something similar that will fit then fine, I don't know anything about dropper posts.

    Lol ok. I know what they do and I need one. I don't know about any different makes, specifications or features.

    QR seatpost clamps work well?

    Obviously I already have one of these and its simply that I'm fed up of having to keep raising and lowering the seat all the time.

    Does anyone know of a remote operated dropper post that will fit the RR9.2 29.8mm seat tube please?
