Hi, I was curious if any of you have ever considered cutting down the seat tube to allow for a longer dropper post??
Not a good idea, you would not have enough insert then (not to mention you temper with planned tension on frame structure). With Giant frame design there is a limit where the seat tube is bent - you cannot go any lower with dropper post insert. Can be a problem on S and XS frames.
To return to original question - don't do it.

Reverb AXS!
Its the only 150mm post i could slam in my medium reign. Tried a good few before I discovered that. Well worth the extra cost

What year is your Reign? I will be attempting to install a oneup 170mm dropper on my 2018 reign this weekend. I'm hoping it will allow for at least 150mm but we'll see. I'll let you know how it goes.

Mine's a 2018 advanced/large and I was able to run the 180mm OneUp post w/ no problems.

awesome thanks for the replies, my Reign is also a 2018, size large. I am 6' 1" and I think that the bike fits me perfectly. Great to know the 180mm post worked for you, assuming the plastic and alu frames have the same seat tube kink. I will post a pic of it shortly. It is the third Reign that I have owned because I believe Maestro to be the best suspension platform!tup tup tup

She's looking good. The red frame is sick!

First ride today after fracturing my collar bone 20 days ago. It was the most fun I've had since the break even though I took it really easy. Being pretty much unable to manual/lift the front wheel or drive hard into corners, it was nice to just see how the Reign would handle. Instead of lifting up over rocks and roots I just bounced over them and still had a blast...Cool tup

Hi all!

I’m looking at changing my dropper to a one up components V2 because I want to slam the post as much as I can in the medium frame!

Any one have one? Any good?

Insert length for this post is 237mm including the actuator. Any one know if this will slam in a medium?

Thanks

If its the 150mm drop, no it won’t.
