Hi, I'm hopefully going to build a hightower up for my wife. She's got a short body and long legs so we're sizing down. 

Does anyone know what the insertion length is on a small hightower? I htink she would need a 170mm dropper. 

 

Thanks,

 

Angus

Hi. Not quite the same but my wife has similar proportions and have got a one up 180 shimmed down to 160mm to fit in a small bronson frame. In theory she could make the full 180 work but because of the cable routing you can’t fully slam the seatpost in all the way once you have the cable connected.

There is this on the Santa Cruz website. Seems more complicated than just listing the max seatpost insertion
