If you have coin to spend, get the Bike Yoke Revive.

If you're on a budget, get the OneUp dropper V2.

If you can live with 200mm of drop get the Bike Yoke. It's like a fine swiss watch. Silent and moves really well, user-serviceable - definitely the best post I've ever owned by a huge margin, but max drop is 185. The new Reverb with the updated remote is an improvement over previous versions - bonus for huge range of lengths (up to 200) and sizes (including 34.9). The OneUp is clanky and kind of cheap feeling but it costs less.

Pnw is the answer. Same price as one up, way better action.

215 US dollars with the lever included. Says shipping is free to Canada. Pretty good deal.

Were are you guys seeing these deals on the PNWs?

Which PNW you guys eyeing? Rainier or Bachelor

Went with the Rainier. Will post review on here after a few rides on it.

Is there a guide on how to take the post apart to clean somewhere?

I agree, shipping and service are super-pricey from them - hence my resistance to just send the post in again.

PM me for a code

I bought a 30.9 9point8 in 200mm travel at Crankworx back in 2017? It did leak air after a while but I paid not much attention to it. One day in my mailbox they sent me a rebuild kit with the new foam ring and retainer with all the tools to service it which was super awesome service imo. Very impressed with the post to date with zero issues since. I bought it in 30.9 as I knew I could always shim it up to whatever bike I would have in the future and just keep it. Its now in my 2020 Enduro with a 34.9 seat tube which would make this bike #4 its been in.

3x Brand-X Descend Droppers in my household. 1 under me at 95kg and 2 under my kids who are not careful with bikes, picking them up by the saddle with the saddle down etc.

All 3 working fine after between 12 and 24 months usage in shitty UK conditions.

Really wishing the upper collar on the 9Point8 Fall Line had a hex head on it. I can’t spin the collar loose in my bike stand clamp

Good choice on the PNW Rainer. I love mine and it’s been flawless since installed unlike my last 9point8

Be curious to know the difference between the Bike Yoke Revive and Devine posts. 

I’ll see how long my Fall Line lasts after the rebuild.

I use a strap wrench and have not had an issue. It's simpler as I can leave the post in the bike that way.

Bingo. I phoned a friend last night and the moment that tool left his mouth the light bulb went on 💡

Any got the current One Up dropper and a good eye for angle measurement?

I'm close to pulling the trigger on one, but can't find the maximum angle the saddle can be lowered at the nose. My STA is slack, and the current post clamp is bottomed out + lightly filed. 

How many degrees of tilt is available? 

Thanks y'all.

Yeah, I've seen that, thanks (and just added my question there too). They don't list tilt angle in their comparison.

So bought the PNW Rainer. Was insanely easy to install. Works great. Cost was low. Also has a 30, 20, and 10mm adjustment if needed which is a nice addition.

If anyone wants a 34.9 - 6"  old stealth reverb with a scratched/ worn stantion that works kinda ok,  but terrible in cold weather they can have it. For parts of whatever. Message me.

Recently picked up a reverb stealth c1 in 175mm drop and I'm liking it. I hope that Rock Shox can back up their claimed durability improvements.
