How often do you guys use your droppers?
Ive got a QR atm which is fine but how can the benefits of droppers be reaped?
Do they bring themselves back up and you could set and reset it on the fly in quick succession? Dunno if thatd ever be needed like...basically when you get one do you realise its a necessity or a welcome convenience?
I like the idea but not some of the prices and need swaying.

I think there's a BrandX one which is reasonably cheap (~£100?). Most reviews say it's pretty good but there are few that say it fails or is unreliable or whatever. Check it out

they are kinda nice if you are doing more roudy stuff
it's good to learn how to get airborne with a full seatpost though

Riding along a trail, approach steep descent, drop post, descend like a boss, extend post again.
Life changing.

Since I got one in November it’s changed the way I ride. I’m way more confident hitting jumps and drops as I know I’m not going to get caught out. Climbing hills I can put it right up and not worry about having to get out of my saddle. So I’ve only really used it on trails so far, but my mums partner does XC and finds it useful too.
It’s also super fun showing someone who’s never seen one and seeing their eyes pop out haha. -
To me they're probably the single most useful bit of tech on a bike, in terms of making riding better and more fun. Suspension and gears make life easier, but a dropper means you don't have to choose between stopping and fiddling or putting up with a shit saddle height.

Anyone looking for a 31.6 dropper post?
I have a Crank Bros leaver operated Joplin that still works that I'd want £20 for.
