Lol. No dropper post for me. Quick release works just fine. Every time.

Someone just likes to stir the pot.

What pot is there to stir? Everyone has their preferences.

Can you run Guide calipers with ice tech rotors?? Is there anything extra you have to do if you can?

Yeah. But most people prefer not to have to stop whenever the gradient changes, or ride with the saddle in a compromised position until it changes to suit. But if you like that, go you.

A dropper would be the best money you've ever spent. I was a doubter at first, but it is as game changing as a derailleur.

I’m aware of the benefits. They just aren’t worth the money to me.

Hmmm. If I can find a cheap one to try.

I've seen some 125mm, 150mm ones going for $100 - $125 used. If you don't end up liking it, you can definitely turn around and sell it for whatever you paid for it. But to have the adjustabilty to set your seat at your fingertips while on trail takes riding to another level.

To be fair, there are plenty who have lots of experience running droppers and choose not to. This bike below has been my workhorse for the past couple years with the majority of my favored trails being winch up/drop down and the dropper was mostly pointless weight and extra gadgetry for what I've been riding. Not to mention standing and pedaling is bonus fitness points, which means extra taquitos on the ride home

Sweet bike. Prior to moving to Florida, I always rode lift assisted bike parks so droppers were never on my radar.

Just factor in the One Up comes with no remote so that will be extra, my One Up 170 is awesome and cost abit less than a reverb all in
