• man, my 1st gen Maverick Speedball dropper post finally died proper as i got curious and tried to fix it - spat all its fluid all over the place :/

    it always had an issue with rotational play - i'm guessing this is engineered out these days?

    I have no experience with the Speedball but it seems that even with the modern droppers this is an issue, as far as I'm aware. Reverbs seem to develop play, even Thomsons, KS Levs, etc. It seems inherent in many designs though the degree to which such play develops to has a limit, of course. Thomson informed me that if the rotational play moves beyond 3mm then it should be returned for servicing/replacement. My Thomson has a very limited amount of play but it has got no worse in over a year.
