Not anymore it seems.
Promax on my hardtail-
I like them.
Has anyone tried the AliExpress ones?
What size you looking for, I have a spare One Up V1 30.9mm 150mm drop you can have for cheapos.
I have a KS EXA FORM with remote from aliexpress on one bike paid £56
It works great and has done for 6 months now.
I did swap the lever for a spare under bar brand-x as it came with push type (to go alongside a shifter) rather than the under bar lever type.
I bought a band-x after being recommended on here.
It's been faultless
Here it is, KS KindShock EXA 900i 125mm drop 30.9
Now they are £52

Got a brand-x a year ago 170mm on another bike for £100 from start fitness, just getting a little sticky again now, maybe needs taking apart again. Run this with a ZTTO lever which is a little nicer than stock.
Brand x is the default dropper no matter the budget. Works well, slightly heavier than the high end competition, but the reliability and clue for money makes up for any minor faults
By all means,anyone wants the One Up dropper...sling me a message.
And who says stealth Ads dont work.
Hi, I also have a dropper available.
I have an unused RockShox Reverb (125mm / 30.9x380mm / Left) available if anyone else is interested.
I upgraded my bike before I fitted the dropper and the new bike has a different diameter seatpost size
Thanks, Rich
It is similar to this:

Those KS deals are good of they're genuine. I'm after a replacement for a worn out external 30.9. Can't go internal with the carbon frame.
I got a Tranz X off eBay for £92.00, as has been reflected its a brand x same same. The quality is superb and works incredibly well. Mine was a 27.2 with 110 mm of travel
I’ve also got a tranz x 30.9 100mm drop post in my garage that Came on my Marin and I used once.
£50 posted.
