As above really. Are they the same thing, or is one better than the other?

I now need a internally routed 31.6 and these seem to review well.

thanks

Ian

No, Brand-X is CRC/Wiggle's house brand. Both good droppers from what I've heard.

BrandX posts are made by TranzX. The OneUp post is said to be the same internally - certainly the OneUp travel limiting shim drops into the BrandX no problem (I read on here it might and can confirm that it does)

Probably worth mentioning TranzX also make posts for other brands, like PNW, and some bike manufacturers.

See also the RSP Stealth post. Identical to the Brand X post....I'm amazed that people are happy to pay £200+ for posts when basically identical (and proven reliable) posts can be had for sub £100.

What he said^^^.

Other odd thing is no Asian sellers on Aliexpress or eBay seem to be selling them 'direct' and undercutting CRC...(unlike most Chinese or Taiwan bike stuff - those Ztto dropper levers for example)
