• Is a 60/70mm dropper worthwhile on an XC bike? Looking at lightweightish (if possible) 27.2 options for a dropper and not sure if with that little travel I might as well just ride a straight post?

  • Totally worth it. I ride loads with my seat down only a little bit, only reserving full drop for stopping at traffic lights super steep bits, which are incredibly rare on my rides.

  • Thanks, that’s helpful. One of them (Fox transfer SL) seems to only either be fully up or down which I’m not sure if I’d be ok with. Bikeyoke does 80mm so maybe that’s the one
