I’d like a dropper for my gravel bike but as the remotes don’t really have anywhere to go on drop bars I’d like one that’s actuated at the saddle end.

Google hasn’t turned up much so I must be putting the wrong search term in, or is there genuinely no real options. Anyone have any suggestions?

KS Dropzone. Got 2 albeit with remotes and they have been very reliable

:Edit: ks website does list a 100mm in 31.6 & 30.9. Also do ks eten in 100mm

Does anyone know what the distance from the minimum insertion line to the collar is with the 75mm version?

I ran a KS even on my Kona Rove to see if a dropper was worth it (yes), but damn it's heavy.
Upgraded to a PNW with remote, which is a chunk lighter & the remote is nice too, but a mate had to 3d print a mount for it.
Should have just got a Brand X for the half the money which is the same thing & has a drop bar specific remote.

Check the KS site for technical details: they've got nice schematics with all dimensions on broken down
