Anyone have one? I'm after a new dropper for my Nomad and my reverb was 30.9mm.

I've ages friends out in Canada finishing up the ski season who I could ask to bring me a 9point8 fall line back.

Do I give a different post a go or stick with the reverb stealth.

Any other recommendations?

The Raceface one is the same thing, just licensed from them under the Raceface name. I have one on my bronson and it's really good.

Ah. Ive read lots saying that the raceface one is a liscenced version with slightly different internals.

I'll keep an eye out price wise. I need something to get out and ride.

No, the raceface one is the same as the easton one (same company now).
Different to the fall line.

Race Face (and, because they're owned by the same people, Easton) have licensed technology from 9point8 to build their Turbine and Haven droppers. That doesn't make either of those the same as the Fall Line, though, and both of the former are manufactured in Asia while 9point8 does a lot of their fabricating, and all of their assembly, in Canada.
