Do you own a WHYTE with a Dropper?

Further to my post over in the workshop forum (viewtopic.php?f=10004&t=13093414), I’m looking for some advice from anyone who owns a Whyte frame, specifically one that uses an inter-grip integrated seat clamp, and is successfully running a dropper post. If that sounds like you, what posts are you running please?!

I recently purchased a Fox Transfer dropper, however the integrated seat clamp applies too much pressure even at 1Nm preventing the post from operating. I’m not sure if I’m just stuck without being able to use a dropper, or if an alterntive may work successfully, but I’d like to hear your opinions.

TIA.

    My mate just bought a Whyte t130rs and it has a Reverb I think. Sure it has the integrated clamp like yours too.

    Reverbs come as standard on Whytes

    You could try with Whyte riders or Whyte owners Facebook pages, a higher percentage of Whyte riders on them!

    Looks like it is the dropper that is the problem. Those clamps work fine with Reverbs.
