RockShox's Electronic Wireless Dropper Post - Mont-Sainte-Anne World Cup
@WAKIdesigns: "What about less place for your seat bag @mikelevy?"
Speaking of... what happened to that "fanny pack for your bike" press release? Did it get down-voted to oblivion?

@robaussie99: I never said that an XS ladies frame needs a 150mm dropper. I said that limiting dropper post size = lost sales. The XS frame is limited to a 75mm dropper post, which based on the 4" of exposed seatpost when dropped, seems to be on the short side.

First Look: 2019 Liv Intrigue Advanced
@mudmeetstire881011: My argument wasn't that every woman needs a 150mm dropper, just that when I'm looking for a frame, I want a 150mm dropper, and if the fame can't accommodate that, I look elsewhere.
Likewise, a 5'6" woman, looking at a medium Liv, will likely want a dropper longer than the 100mm max that the frame allows.
And apparently it was an issue for the reviewer as well.

@WAKIdesigns: So you don't notice the difference between 100mm drop and 150mm drop? I sure as hell do.

@robaussie99: Yes, but not everyone needs an XS and super low standover.

@ShredlyMcShredface: "I asked Liv's Global Product Marketing Lead Erin Lamb about it, and she said that they put what they consider the longest possible droppers on each bike per size."
I read it as the four extra inches is because the post won't go down any further. I have that same problem, but not with dropper posts.

You would think these companies would learn that limiting the size of dropper post that can be used = lost sales. I can't tell you how many frames I rule out because they can't even fit a 150mm dropper.
