DNM Cheap Dropper post unboxing and review

This is a review of the DNM dropper seat post.

This DNM dropper post is one of the cheapest ones on the market, and the quality is very impressive. Here's the good and the bad:

The Good
Super lightweight, reliable, looks nice, very sturdy, pretty easy to install, and cheap!

The Bad
Difficult to add air to initially, short travel (only 110mm), and the switch isn't the greatest. Also, I can't speak for how this works with a heavier rider. I'm only 155lbs, but I'm much harder on my bike than most people so it may work fine for heavy riders.

Overall
For the price, it's a no brainer. If my post was broken or stolen tomorrow, I would buy another identical one to replace it. I never wish I went with a different post, and I beat up my bikes pretty bad. I highly recommend it.

How to determine what size to get
Look at your current seatpost very closely. You may need to remove it from your bike to see, but the size should be printed on it somewhere. This post is available in 30.9 and 31.6, so if you don't have either of those sizes you may be out of luck. Super skinny steel bikes are hard to find dropper posts for, but if you have an aluminum or carbon frame you should be okay.

from a dropper post to building a whole bike park😳

it's amazing how much better you are at the voice over now. no a ahh's and umms anymore. can't you give us a long term revisit of this post?

[yrigoyen]

Sounds like he was in a bad mood, but kinda funny..

[_mtb]

Why did Seth’s voice get higher as he got older? Lol

[RickyDownhillRDH]

I had to go back in time and see the very first Seth's Bike Hacks video. Amazing what he's done with his channel and brand. Way to go Seth!!

[mandrew]

I’ll just say, your commentary has come a LONG way man! 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[Finn_MTB]

I knew I wasn’t the only one who went back to see his first video

[mtbl]

I used my teeth to cut the cables. Thanks for the advice and help.

We need to see Seth riding the 4900 on berm peak

[Trebelhornc]

I just want to state for the record, this was the first video I watched of Seth's, and I bought the damn dropper on a whim of bad choices back in June of 2015, and that shit hasn't been touched once, not to service, not to fill with air, nothing. And it works so well to this day. Thanks Seth and DNM, my wifemedown loves it.

If I hear "um" one more time

[MaplSyrup]

The old commentary style! It's kinda hilarious.

[lipscombjared]

This is so much different than his newer videos and I’ve been watching a few years now and just now came across this video

[mattmanky]

Hey Seth, is this where it all started?! It’s 2019 at 1.1M subs!

Who else is here in 2019 looking back at BIKE HACKS old videos😆

[LuxxyHD]

I'm watching this in 2018 you sound so different a big improvement

[milesheath]

I love watching your old videos. I remember watching your bike fleet videos and seeing how creative your storage was in that tiny closet back in the day. So cool to see how far you have come. I gotta say I love the practical and no-frills editing and voice-overs. A different time in Youtube. Hope those were Drama barks I was hearing. <3

[grncity]

You’ve really come a long way with your production quality. Still, your matter of fact approach is always refreshing and probably why you have one of the best channels.

Who is here after the name of the channel has now changed from Bike Hacks, to Seth’s Bike Hacks, to now Berm Peak. Crazy how far Seth has come as a content creator and mountain biker!
