I've spent years and years on Reverbs (and rebuilding them, sigh) and have tested most of the other popular droppers on demo/friend's bikes, but just recently switched to the OneUp 170mm. I am in love with it. We will see if I am still in love with it after a long season of wet/muddy winter riding.
On my first few rides I found the lever required more action/travel to engage the dropper than the Reverb remote, but my brain quickly got used to it and now it's one of my favorite levers, very smooth. The post itself travels smoothly and I really like the speed at which it travels up. The post also doesn't seem to care where your weight is on the seat and doesn't get "hung up" when you are trying to go down like some of the KS posts and my Reverb as it approached rebuild time.
The best part, it only cost $85 more than my last rebuild (including shipping) on my Reverb.
