Not seen much said about the UK made dropper since Eurobike, but I did notice a full page advert for it in the latest issue of Cranked magazine.

Wonder what the price and availability will be like?

Saw it at the London Bike Show.  Didn't get any useful info though, availability = soon and price = competitive is all I got.  Had a play with the display and all seemed good, I've been hoping Scottfitz was going to let slip some info on the one he is (I assume) testing

Yes I have a pre production one, Its going to be great, not quite ready for market as it has some creases that need ironing out.

It does look good and if anything like the suspension posts will be easy to service and go on for years!

but When? Are we talking months or a year away from production?

Popped into Tweeks earlier and inquired about the Helix as they are a USE & Exposure stockist, they said they are due any time now apparently and hope to have them listed on their website in the next few days. Available to pre-order now over the phone, pricing is inline with what Reverbs are currently discounted at.

"It's going to be great,some creases to iron out"

They said the same about the Kronolog.

Is it cable actuation?

There is nothing on the market to tempt me way from Brand X at the moment to be honest.

What is the remote like - any idea?only seen pics of the post. [edit- scrap that, pics of remote on tweeks cycles]. Seems reasonably priced and weight reasonable (513g for 30.9) too. Not sure about the return spring air valve location, seems like it would have been a no brainer to have it facing forward away from muck
