#!markdown I really like my current Gravity Dropper - the latest version with the bolt-on housing guide a la the post reviewed. The company has Awesome Customer Service, and it takes 30-seconds (tool free) to un-thread the cap, pop the the post out by engaging the remote, and grease the bushings for almost-play-free performance. It is so easy to work on that any one who can change a shifter cable can fully rebuild it. That said, I think that Morgan should win Olympic Gold for ice dancing around how awful the remote is, and it has nothing to do with adjustable cable tension which can be remedied in 5-minutes or less by adding an inline barrel adjuster. The remote needs more leverage and a return spring to assist the post's tiny inline spring. In terms of mimicking the smooth function of competing products some kind of bushing or bearing would go a long way as well. Here is my Fox DOSS remote (easily run on either side, above or below the bar), which has awesome ergonomics, and super smooth performance thanks to the three features above: <https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-eyPqS7D6Nxw/UwLKmXa6CoI/AAAAAAAAFP4/HucZhQiaOUU/s640/IMG_1410.JPG>
