Title: Recommended chinese dropper seat post?
Post by: ausmtb8989 on February 04, 2024, 09:27:12 AM

Looking for a dropper post of my FS MTB build.  Was looking at oneup v3 but $$$$
Can anyone share experiences or recommendations with ones from Aliexpress?

I tried to find a good dropper via Aliexpress.   I could only find a few models of the KS (Kind Shock) dropper, but the prices weren't low enough for me to purchase one.

I have 3 PNW Coastal Suspension droppers on 3 of my Aliexpress builds, and a 170mm travel PNW dropper on my most recent FRAMED 29er FS build.   

I purchased all of these on sale at great prices over the past few years.   (Usually between November and January.)

I had a KS dropper on my stumpy, bought the bike in 2018 it was on it.  Was still on it and working fine with zero maintenance when I sold the bike 2 months ago.

Figured it must be pretty good, so I got another one off AliExpress for my current MTB.

I second PNW droppers. Had one on my FS for 3 years and 0 issues.

I've also heard good things about Trans-X droppers.

I had good luck with a Trans X dropper too. They actually make many of the PNW and other droppers. They're a little bit cheaper for the same posts.

Currently on sale on Amazon it seems, great pricing IMO!
