Yeah, Thanks. I saw that, but not having had any real riding experience with 'dropper post', I decided to go with the less costly option, to get some real life riding time.
Given what I learned on just a few rides - I Luv it !!!
I may opt for a remote/external cable upgrade in a few months - and transfer the exaform to the Stumpy HT - which I ride mostly on the local open space areas. Currently the Stumpy has a RockShox seatpost from that era...
The FS Epic is what I would use for most longer BC rides...
The bar real estate will get crowded... LOL! But all good.
In the meantime, I just have to anticipate a hair sooner when I'm going to use it. I do like the ability to do 'variable height' adjustment, makes a huge difference on those tough climbs where weight distribution makes a big difference...
and bouncin down some rocky slope is way more fun when riding IN the bike, as opposed to over the TOP of the bike... LOL!
Luving the return to more frequent mtb riding !!! Winter and Spring are really the best riding times in the Los Padres.
Ride On
