I got me a new Veyron for less then a million bucks.

Last summer I bought a new Scott Spark RC, and I wanted to fall in love with this world-class race bike, but I never got totally comfortable on it.

I decided that the bike need a dropper post to help me lower my center of gravity on the descents.
After shopping online for a dropper I decided that the Magura Vyron might be what I'm looking for.
The main reason was the number of cables/hoses already on the bike (Front and rear brakes, shifter, fork lockout, shock remote) left no room to run another one cable.

I found the Magura Vyron on eBay
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Magura-USA...hash=item3af41895a3:m:mSuAfnoD-57Z4BzgXwhcNww.


The price was right.
The overall weight was reasonable (600 grams).
the online reviews didn't hate it.
I gave it a shot.

The install was a breeze.
The linking of the remote wasn't as smooth, but I got it to work.
First ride impression: It works, but differently.
I'm sure I can get used to it eventually, but the remote is a pain so far. The last thing anyone would like to do before hitting the decent starts looking for the right button
I think they offer a cap that increases the size of the sweet spot. Any improvement would be great.

Other then that, a simple double-click activate the valve, and if you seat down the dropper drop, and if you stand up it goes up (da..) Trying to stop it somewhere in the mid-stroke take some practice. Hopefully, it will hold up.

 

“Hey, where’s Sharone?”

“Oh, he stopped a ways back to reboot his bike.”

 

I got a Gravity Dropper on my SS........ Both end of the spectrum.

 

+1 on the GD

 

E drop, I hate it already.

I like it. Now wait a bit for them to come out with version 2 and I am in. Less cable is always good in my mind.
@Sidewalk would blow through that battery in the 1st 5 miles.

 

He could stop by @Danmtchl 's shop to charge it up!!!

 

Added to the maintenance is software updates.

 

And you can have coffee and donuts from the bakery next door while you wait....

 

My finger is on the trigger, as much of a no brainer as a dropper it’s self! Or an internal route? On bike dicount it’s $350, 2018 model has worked out some of the bugs. Sweet!

 

Check out E13 TRS dropper post all mechanical no worries works always! I got one 3 months ago. Bulletproof and cheaaaaaap!

 

+10 on the E13 dropper!! Not a single problem with it in the few months I have used it. Can't say that with the Reverb.

 

My bike is outdated, those look like internal routeing, I’m done with cable, always getting sticky and having to change them, a new bike is coming in the not too distant future, but I’m still keeping my beloved sb-66 , so interchanging the dropper will be dare I say it? Easy easy easy!

 

Real men of genius, as inspired by @Mikie!

Hill^Billy!
Today we celebrate you!
Mr. 26” bicycle owner.
It may be relegated to children’s bikes,
but you boast technology from 1986 like it was born yesterday!
A rebel with this much maneuverability
Is a bro not afraid to drop his saddle.
So pull over and grab a cold Bud Light, since you have to dismount anyway,
and let all your friends ride on by with bigger wheels and fancy posts, oh peddler of the 26” radness.

 

Cheers!

 

I too would buy this dropper in a heartbeat for my 2012 Yeti, but as well it will not take on an internal routed dropper. Cathy is ready for a dropper on her bike and I am going to switch my Gravity Dropper over to her bike. That thing is so reliable, but so dang ugly!

What to do.... what to do.....
