As it says really.

Looking for a 30.9mm 435mm/150mm drop KS Lev, not an Integra and not the DX, however it would seem that Jungle only distribute up to 385mm/125mm, which I can manage with if necessary and the price is good enough.

Prices for the 125mm drop seem to be about the £240 mark and the 150mm about £310.

Checked my usual places (including Bike-discount.de and All Tricks) and wondering if anyone has any other options.

Read a few things about failure rates so I'm also interested in warranty care experiences from any EU sellers.

Cheers.

I bought mine from Stif who are the same company as Jungle. It worked very well for eight months and then didn't. It went back three times for fixing, and they were very good to deal with and turnaround was quick, but sadly it never worked properly again and in the end they refund me. But I would definitely recommend Stif, if you're prepared to pay the RRP of course.

I have a slight confession, as I work in the bike industry I am able to get them at trade but that is still loads (especially compared to a Reverb, which some places sell below cost!!) but I really like the fixed actuation point on the KS plus all the mechanics I know rage about them, in a good way.

I'm trying to see if I can get it below trade anywhere. Not looking positive though.

So you want someone to make a loss on selling it to you?

Looking in the EU then?

Had you seen the price Fox DOSS posts are going for now?

I am willing to see if anyone has a better trade rate than is given in the UK, yes. I made a mistake by saying that some places sell below cost. I meant to say trade - apologies.

I don't want anyone to make a loss on selling one, trade is not the same as cost. Sellers get different trade rates for all sorts of reasons, but I guess you know that.

I have seen the Doss but I'm looking at either the Reverb or the Lev. Reverb because I have had faultless performance from one for 3 years or the Lev because of the fixed actuation point.

Cheers.
