Loam Dropper Seatpost
Replacing the PNW Bachelor Dropper Post, the Loam Dropper brings many of the same features we loved on the Bachelor with great frame compatibility and a lighter weight. A redesigned stanchion allows less of the post to be inserted in the frame, so more frames can accommodate the dropper post and riders can run a post with more travel. Like the Rainer Gen 3, the new Loam Dropper allows you to customize the suspension travel by reducing the travel up to 25mm in 5mm increments. Finally, an updated actuator boasts PNW's smoothest action ever for better overall ride quality as you hit the trail.

Just got back from a beautiful fall ride with the new PNW Loam dropper post! Flawless operation and paired with the Loam lever for a great look..

Excellent dropper post

I am very happy with this dropper post. I bought the Loam to replace the stock dropper on my Specialized Stumpjumper, and then enjoyed the Loam over 7 days on a 240 mile long MTB tour. Great value and price for this 34.9 x 170mm Travel post.

PNW Loam is awesome!!
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
Have 6 bikes in my fleet with droppers: 3 with Fox Transfer and 3 with PNW Loam and I must say the Loams are the most predictable, consistent and smooth droppers of the bunch. I have had two for a year or more and one for a few months. Would buy again in a heartbeat.

The perfect dropper

- 200mm
First things first, don’t forget to buy The dropper lever/trigger. The dropper is amazing. The ratings are accurate and for the price it is one of the best I’ve ever had. I was on the RockShox Reverb dropper, and this is a huge improvement.

Awesome dropper

- I've used it several times
Awesome dropper with great adjustability. Light too at 462g on my scale in 30.9mm size with 125mm of travel. Hopefully will never need it, but the lifetime warranty is exceptional. On the trail it works perfectly with a snappy return.

Works well so far

- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Works well but only used a few times. Let's hope it stays that way. Tried others well known brands but was disappointed.

A great alternative to a Fox Transfer
The PNW loam dropper is fantastic. The price point is much lower compared to competitors, like Fox. Installation was very simple. I also really enjoyed the tool free micro adjust. This is great for frames with tricky insertion depth.

This is the best dropper I have owned yet. PNW you have made a life long supporter out of me. Easy to install, love the fine tuning of the travel that you can do. quiet, works every time, speed is great, cable actuated, and customizable colors, you can't go wrong! I am stoked at how well this works on my Foes Mixer, size Medium

Rattles Like Empty Beer Can

- 34.9 x 200mm
Had high hopes for this dropper. First ride out it rattles terribly at full extension. That's a non-starter right there. Second, the lever feel is stiffer than other posts I've used. I'd steer clear as QC seems nonexistent. Returning..

Does the seatpost come with cable and housing? If not, what is the appropriate cable/housing to use with this product.
