Hi all, looking at getting a dropper seat post but am confused about length/drop as there are a few versions - I know it's a 30.9 seat post but what length and drop should I get? It's a large bike and I'm 5'11"

Or should I look at the Specialized Command Post, is it worth the extra £70???l

    Erm.....what suites you!

    Work out the maximum height out the frame you need, and the minimum and sort out which one works, too longer a travel post can mean the saddle is too high at the top of its stroke, too short a travel may leave it too high when dropped.
    Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.
