Mate wants a dropper and has a Fuel EX 8...does the seat tube bend affect which droppers he can get?
Any Fuel EX owners use a dropper, which one please?
I run a 2012 rockshox reverb on my 2011 ex8. Fits great, not had any problems with the cable snagging either
Sounds like no issues with the bend in seat post then. I'll let him know.
Joplin here. No problem.
I have a 2012 Reba on my 2012 Ex8 too. The hose doesn't fit through the internal frame route (so the front gear cable goes through there).
I cut the hose so it's just long enough to stay outside the rocker, otherwise it would tend to drop inside when lowering the post and form a big loop.
Which lenght post have you gone for on a trek fuel ex 8 2012?
I am 6ft tall and was wondering what the best lenght post to get is, i think they both fit the 380mm and 420mm. Just after some advice as which would be the best to go for.
Thanks
Ahh Gazzle, just the man, you can take over your own thread now i've done the donkey work for ya 😉
Haha, cheers mate! You got to fit it yet when I get one lol
I've got the 380mm model and I can slide it all the way down into the frame without problem. I'm 5'10".
Fit it?lol
I'm 5'11" and have the 420mm 125mm drop one. There's space in the frame for it to go a bit further, but I run it with about 2" sticking out of the seat tube.
