Field Test Review: 2024 Ibis HD6 - Sporty and Smashy
@mikekazimer: I don't disagree with all of your points. My experience since Dropper post have been the norm on bikes is that we much more often need to put a shorter post into bikes. just one example has always been with SC bikes, they come with a 170mm post and more often then not wed have to put a 150 or shorter post in. As a bike shop guy its really frustrating when at the end of the season you have a box of dropper post that are to long for 90% of people. While I want to have the longest drop I can fit in my own bikes, I cant run more then 170mm Which I feel is plenty, even on a bike with a 77 degree seat post angle.
Norco was( not sure if they still do) specking post with travel adjust.
Id still be curious to see you do a comparison between multiple bike, people and dropper posts. Maybe we could help the industry start specking the posts that make the most sense for the most people.

Not cheap but if you need to cut steer tubes regularly, a pipe cutter and this tool is the best choice.
