Dropper posts ( again, I know)

Was looking at the cheaper options.

From £170 to £47. How come? Will I be robbed?

With Paypal, if it doesn't arrive you get your money back anyway.

True. It just seems a bit unreal. I am happy to chuck £47 at it, the others won't even get a look in. I think I am actually complaining silly business.

It's because some unscrupulous people will buy them for 50 quid then stick them straight on eBay at over inflated prices and some mugs will buy them.

What do we reckon the quality will be like ... and how do we know it won't snap?! Anyone got any experience of these posts?

I've a reverb dropper on my new bike ... which is great (never used one before, but I like having it now), but my son really needs one for his On One Inbred (to stop him from faffing around with his hex key lowering / raising his seat at the top of every descent / bottom of every climb :roll: !), so that post would fit, and I might be tempted if its likely to be any good!!

Yes, someone bought one recently and reported back. Didn't sound too impressive, but it didn't snap.
Forum search will find it if you are interested.

I have one of these and I'm well happy with it works a charm for the money and with my 17st arse on it surviving well.
It's not as refined as my mates reverb but then its half the price and then some. uses a standard gear cable and has 3 positions.
