Could someone please tell me the correct length reverb for a Large Bronson, I'm building one & after a 150 drop, on ebay they make a small fortune used & it's too much without warranty so good old crc for a new one.

Cheers

No, we can't but you can.
You need to measure the exposed seat post and take in to account the extra for fittings. We don't know ow how high you put your seat

Also only the latest bronson is 31.6mm seatpost IIRC, so if you are using an older bronson frame the 150mm doesn't come in the right size.

If you are using the new bronson 2 then stop being so cheap and just buy a new reverb 😉

Wiggles,

Buying a new one as per the post, can't see the point of paying over 160 for used when for 60 quid more you get warranty & piece of mind, simples...

Just don't want to get the wrong length.

Measure your seat post from frame to saddle rails. If it's 220 or more you can use a 150 drop. If it's less than 175, you'll only get a 100 in. Obviously, if there's 195-220, use a 125 drop.
Biggest drop ain't necessarily best though.

I'm going 150 drop for the new V2 frame, the measurement I'm really after is for the seat tube, not sure if it's 420 ish ??
