Dropper on a pure road bike
This isn’t a gravel or CX post (pun sort of intended).
How about a dropper on a friggin road race machine? I think of the times I’ve been going 50+ and I could get more but I’m too chicken for the super tuck. If I lowered my butt 2-4” would that appreciably change my aero profile?
I ride an 18 lb steel bike and to go less than that would be very very expensive. I probably couldn’t justify making it a 19lb bike for this. So this is mostly hypothetical.
Seems like the folks on 13lb bikes would still be super light with a dropper. I’m sure pros could hit 6.8Kg and have one.
Did I see them on neutral bikes a few years ago? All riders are different heights I suppose.
I guess we’ll know it helps if UCI bans them.
