HiLo Dropper Post

Hi All

Would anyone know if you could carry a dropper seat post on a airplane, just wondering as the air in it, or don't they have the air in them from new? The in laws are off on holidays and they seem a lot cheaper over the pond.

Also would any one know the import duty on cycling goods from either Canada or the USA ?

You can just let the air out - it's pretty cheap to replace.

Duty and VAT tables on HMRC website.

I'm not sure I'd be overly worried about the 6psi increase in pressure it will see!

Cheap? You're being ripped off mate, I get mine for free

To the OP, if the in-laws buy you one over there just get them to remove it from the packaging and pop it in a suitcase and don't mention it. You're allowed deodorant and stuff which is in pressurised containers, so I doubt you'd need to let the air out of a dropper post. I wouldn't anyway...

You can take bikes on planes with air shocks and dropper posts at working pressure so it should be ok as long as your inlaws don't have beards and look a bit "terroristy" then they should be fine to take it on a plane.
