Short Dropper Posts (sub 100mm travel)
« on: April 27, 2024, 09:07:36 AM »
Does anyone have a good line on sub 100mm dropper posts?

I can locate a few high end ones meant for gravel bikes but haven’t found anything sub 100mm on AliExpress yet.

80mm (3") is probably the shortest travel you will find.     Majority of droppers are 100mm and more.   I believe that this length fits the majority of rider's need to be able to drop the post and have the saddle drop down low enough to sit back and clear the top of the seat while descending.

I ran across that 80mm the other day after posting as well.     I'm looking to get a dropper for my daughters bike.   I tested my 100mm dropper on her bike and it is too long by a couple inches so an 80mm *might* be right on the limit.
