JayfromSnoGreat Dropper Post
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I rode this all winter in the Pacific Northwest. Took it through rain, mud and muck without any issues. Rode it when it was below freezing, no issues. Took it from sea level to 3000' multiple times without any slip or hesitation. I would definitely recommend this post.

Me and a few other people have had the plastic switch on the stem of the dropper break. I expect to have it covered under warrenty because it sounds like that's been the case.
The post itself has a few milimeters of play within the external housing, you dont notice it when you're riding though. I've been told that's just how they are.
This post is about an inch longer than it's competition, keep that in mind when you decide how low you want your lowest seat height to be.
I would have just bought the hydraulic version, or spent an extra 100$ on a completely different dropper without these short comings.

At first glance and in my research, this post seemed awesome. However, after 3 weeks of use ( I got the externally routed post), the mechanism began seizing up. It is exposed to grit, grime, and moisture and not protected at all and it failed in the middle of a stage at the pisgah stage race. Brought it to The Hub and those guys took it apart but couldn't figure out the what was up (if those guys can't figure it out I don't think anyone can). They eventually just soaked it in tri flow and it freed up. However, within two rides the mechanism seized up again and the post would not stay up when I sat on it or down. I have since returned the post. Bummer as I had thought the Fox posts would be on the more reliable side. Hopefully mine was just a lemon.

Nice that the cable attaches at the bottom of the post so it doesn't make a big loop when you drop the post. Love that fox offers in both colors.

great post, works well. the only issue is not really an issue. the cable actuation for the external post is really exposed for dirt and crud to get into the cable. so seal up the ends and you should be good for a while. I do wish this connection was a little more elegant, mostly because the internal and external posts cost the same. it should look a bit more engineered for this price point.
I would buy again. and I did, from somewhere else though who included the lever for the same money as just the post here.

Is this cable routing direction on the right side of the seatpost
Can it be able to switch to other (left) side?
Eric MorrisDo you need to buy a special seat clamp?
Kyle LivingstonGearheadHey Eric - You do not need a special seat clamp for the new Transfer Performance Dropper Seatpost but you do need to buy the Seatpost Lever Assembly (Item #FRS005J) separately. Feel free to contact me directly with any additional questions.

I've had it for months riding through rain, grit, mud, etc. and it's functioned fine. Think you just got a bum one.
