So the Reverb which came with my new bike has gone back under warranty (the seat clamp de-bonded and you could rotate the seat with the shaft well clamped). Moved the one from my old bike, which was working just fine, but now needs a bleed.
What £200ish alternatives are there? Fox etc seem to be £350ish
Just got a one up components 170mm dropper. Seems great so far! What size you need? Happen to have another 170mm, 31.6 oneup dropper brand new in the box. Going for a steal at £140!
I'll check those out (however I'd rather pay a bit extra and have a warranty).
Brand X, don't know anyone with one who wouldn't recommend them.
Either BrandX or Oneup.
OneUp - amazing post and amazing value.
Been one of the only posts I have used taht literally has no play what so ever and I was able to fit 150mm in where as all others makes were 125mm max.

Duplicate Post
I like the idea of being able to shim the length down. Currently have 150mm reverb with just under 20mm of post showing. 170mm OneUp could be an option.

Literally, DO NOT DO THIS.

FFS!
If it’s a stealth reverb, stick a Woltooth ReMote Sustain on. Turned a reverb into a new post! Nice action and no bleed on the remote needed.
Fox Transfer has been faultless on my bike. I just had it serviced after 2 years and a lot of riding (enough to wear out a set of Hope discs to way below spec) and was told the inside was still clean without issues.
Brand X seem fine but the stock lever is horrible - loads of reasonably priced alternatives though. eg The Trek lever if you can find it in stock.
The new style Brand X lever is pretty good.
one up seems a good bet - not got the post but do have the EDC thing and quality is impressive so if that is carried over....
Or the new racface ones - basically a transfer
Another vote for brand x. I actually find the original remote to be ok.
Brand X here great posts.
Having had Reverbs, Crank Bros and Thomson posts I’d say the Brand X I now have is as good as any of them (& only a tenner more to buy than it cost to service the Thomson posts!)
Mine has the newer lever which isn’t too bad but I will probably put a Wolftootg one on it eventually.
I had two Command Posts. Gave up on them as they were unreliable. Just purchased a Brand X, they are about half the price and I've been told they're a lot more reliable than the Command Posts and Reverbs, so if this is true then what is the point of buying the latter two
"if"
OneUp in pole position currently.
I have a one up. Bloody brilliant. As is all their stuff.
If on a budget One Up if not Bike Yoke.
Both great posts.
I've just replaced a thrice warrantied Reverb (no complaints, I got 5 years out of it in a Triggers' broom fashion) with the newer BrandX post. It seems fine, works well and quality appears decent. Certainly a good value option with east retailer support in the UK.
I have both a Brand X and a One Up. Both excellent but the Oneup has no play and feels higher quality. The Oneup lever is superb and can match any lever too if you don't want a clamp. Having said that you could have a Brand X with a Oneup lever as they are sold separately.
