Hi,

I know there are measurements etc on various forums and suchlike on choosing which Reverb but just wanted to make absolutely sure that I was getting the right one as taking it back would be such a pain!

There are some pics below but *i think* I should get the 31.6mm, 420mm, 125mm drop- right? I'm pretty sure that I can use the 380mm or 420mm with the current saddle hight but the 420mm would give me the greatest flexibility both lower and higher right?

    So what diameter is stamped on your current seat post?

    didnt think they stamped it on so didnt check, but just checked the original spec and says 30.9.

    Also check your current seat post so that you have 125mm showing plus about another 30mm for the collar. I found that 125 drop meant that at full extension the post was too high for me, 100mm was perfect. Only found out after I fitted the post to my bike.
