the "touch your balls before you jump" seatpost

[downtoridemtb]

Always kinda wondered about these. One thing you missed is how hilariously inappropriate it looks operating it!

[georgeadams-mbyd]

This is excellent for my ebike. Used for mounting and dismounting ease and safety. It's nice riding my bike with the proper seat hight and dropping the post to stop especially at intersections and lights with my feet on the ground.

I'm looking for my first dropper, and I liked how this dropper is simple and easy to install, without cable and that stuff. The price is a great atractive too.
As my local trails consist in long climbs and then lond descents, I think it will work fine for me.
Great review, thank you.

Great review! Thank you! I think the advantage of thumb controlled droppers are those moments where you transition from a down slope to a climb. Those moments you really need both hands on the bars. I think we need to see more thumb operated droppers in the economy range.

I've been kicking it around as I can't really figure out a "nice" way to install a dropper on my 2000 GT XCR. Figured this would look clean and still function better than no dropper. Might still be the best option for older bikes.

I don't try to adjust except to stop, or on flat, where I see the hill coming. This is not for racing; but for quick adjustments without having to get off the bike, this works great. What does not work, is trying to quick release and adjust without getting off the bike. Without this dropper; I have to physically get off the bike to adjust the seat height; and that really slows me down. If all I do is wait until it's flat, adjust and go while riding, that's great! My bike won't take a cable dropper; and they cost more; not worth it to me to have it installed by a pro; costs more than the dropper!

I had no idea that these kind of dropper posts were a "thing" I didn't know that they even existed. Thank you for the video!

Good review. Thanks. I live in the Rocky Mountains what you described for this post is my riding area.

Like the honesty. I feel the same way. It goes for any cable less dropper post. Seems like it could be dangerous at times and safety is always a factor with me. I guess if it is doing simple xc trails, it could be bearable but the price difference isn't that far off.

I’ve got the KS ETEN version and really like it. I agree that if you are constantly going up and down it’s not ideal but otherwise I really like it. I can also swap it quickly and easily between two bikes which is nice.

I live in an area that has steep up and down sections on gravel roads. I know a lot of people poo poo on the idea that a gravel bike needs a dropper but I don't care. These roads are steep and fast and I have ridden my Mountain Bike down some of them and having a dropper made feel much more in control.

[TeddyParker]

Great review mentioning how it works great for simple fire road to downhill rides, but bad for up and down hills/technical terrain. Really considering getting this post since I ride jump trails/downhill tracks.

Useful post if you don't need a mid ride adjustment. Good for slow ride adjustment or before or after purpose

[AriKona]

Very good review and deals with exactly the issues needed to be addressed. While not the choice for MTB, this post does seem to fit the bill for commuter and gravel bikes.

[momo.ru-kun]

I think this type of dropper is more useful on touring bikes not mountain bikes. For mountain bikes the cockpit lever is the optimal setup.

[patty]

I had thought they would be a pain. An external routed post with lever right now from a decent company is at least $200 but seems the only real way to go.

thanks for this incredibly useful review!!!

This would work awesome for bicycle sharing. Me and my wife sharing the Cargo bicycle. Is such seat post also cushioned by the compressed air? Or rather a position changing rigid seat post.. would be totally awesome if like a office chair also provided minimal dampening to somewhat rougher bumpy roads

[syedzgaming]

Okay good..now m gonna look like I am playing with my family jewels while riding.
