The dropper post can be stupid to you, and you can actually change your mind
on it when it gets refined enough. Anyone who tried a Gravity Dropper and
wanted infinite adjustment would say "stupid, not for me." Anyone who just
pedals up then coasts down could say, "stupid, not for me." The pluses and
minuses of the concept itself have been hashed out endlessly. The pluses and
minuses of implemented versions of the concept are still being hashed out. As
they get hashed out, whose voices matter toward real improvement? The armchair
rider who wants to photograph the bike and its "upgrade" for online
admiration/envy? The rider who sees no utility in the dropper post concept,
let alone any implementation? The rider who has tried several types and can
spot the flaws of each?
