This seems like the best place to ask about this.
I've convinced myself a dropper post will improve the experience of riding my bike but I'm limited in which posts I can use as my frame is 27.2 and also quite small for me (intentionally) so I need 400mm+ of post.
That narrows it down to pretty much Gravity Dropper or Thomson.
I think id prefer not having a remote lever so if I went GD it'd be the Descender with the knob on the front and if Thomson I'd be looking to get/fit the under the saddle lever. Not actually 100% sure these are still available though.
The Thomson's a bit longer but the GD should be long enough.
Is the infinite adjustability (and better quality - if it is better) of the Thomson worth triple the cost of the GD?
