I have reverb's on a couple of my bikes, and love them.
Swapping one frame for a cove stiffee, which has an odd 30.0mm seattube.
Of course, Reverbs don't come in 30.0, or 27.2mm, so I can't decide whether I should get an X-Fusion HiLo, or just save some cash and get a plain seatpost...
What would you do?
Extra info - 1) I like that the Reverbs just work consistently. Have heard of various issues with HiLo's. 2) The seatpost can expect to be covered in mud, muck, grit and water on a very regular basis 🙂

ks lev?
Haven't they just had a big fall out with their UK importer?
18 Bikes will ream it to 30.9 for you, they've done it on a few Cove frames.
Just checked the SuperStar site, and they've sold out of all the 27.2 KS Lev's.
Hadn't considered that Sambob - Good idea, but not sure I want to go to those drastic/expensive/warranty-voiding lengths though.
Edit - half tempted to ring them though, just so I can ask if they're into reaming and stiffees. Might also ask if they've got any purple helmets in size large.
Gravity Dropper, very little to go wrong.
Are CRC the only place that sell the Gravity Droppers?
As sambob wrote, 18 bikes can ream it out to 30.9mm. They did my Cove for me and all is well so far.
Otherwise take a look at the Tmars / ICE V8 Gravity Dropper copies and shim.
Thanks Baldman - never heard of those before. Now doing some research...
Kevin,
If you're interested I have a Gravity Dropper Classic Seatpost - Multi for sale

Bought from Chain Reaction in November and fitted to hardtail for a 15 mile ride, used once, then sat in bike shed since. Hence excellent condition.
Now have Reverb on FS bike so unlikely to take the HT out when need a dropper post.
Currently selling for £206 on CRC, looking for ~£160.
