Bumping up this old post, but I get some input.

First, how to route the dropper post line? I use the Jagwire stuff that you stick on the frame (a 3M tape). It's cheap, works nicely, never failed. You don't have to drill your frame :). It's hard to tell that this is an added piece to the frame (on a black frame).

Second, should you use a dropper post? Agreed that a XC World champion doesn't need one. If you are not, you will benefit from it. I am a poor rider downhill and my skills have dramatically improved since I get a Reverb. I'm now a lot faster and safer. If I ever break it, I'll buy another one immediately.

Thanks for the info, I hadn't seen the Jagwire kit. It seems like a good solution as long as it doesn't look sloppy. I am will definitely get a dropper post but will probably wait until next year now that we are so close to the end of the season.
