BigDL Posted June 1, 2017 Share Silly question I am sure. Based on my similar question recently, I have been looking at the Lyne post, but am struggling to understand the difference that the straight post will make as opposed to my current Giant offset post. Would I just move the seat backwards on the post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Bob Posted June 1, 2017 Share looks solid never heard of Lyne?who stocks em? Lyne do... direct sales (so hot right now with Commencal / YT / Canyon) - based in Woodstock. Awesome back up, 1 x triggers, hydraulic inners and cable action, 2 year warrenty, brilliant service, great price and now seem to be coming up goods with cranksets, bars and stems. Also Kiwi / Rapide has never been anything other than utterly brilliant when it comes to product and service. 2 local companies showing the local agents of many international brands up by doing the basics well and backing themselves / their products.

doppelganger Posted June 1, 2017 Share Just bought a Lyne. Well made. Will ride this weekend for the first time so can't comment yet on how well it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popcorn_skollie Posted June 1, 2017 Share The Rapide dropper is a killer deal and I think replacement cartridges go for about the same as the Lyne replacement cartridges. Under R700 if I'm not mistaken. But its worth pointing out that while the Rapide is cheaper than Lyne.The actuation cable goes all the way up to the saddle while the Lyne stops at the collar. http://i.imgur.com/WKBpR4f.jpg This means that with the Rapide post your cable is moving up and down with the saddle every time its actuated. While I don't remember this being much of a problem with my first dropper from a couple years ago. Its still worth paying a couple hundred extra to avoid imo.Rapide have some brilliant deals and when I actually have enough cash to go 11 speed.I will definitely do it through them. But dropper vs dropper? Lyne ftw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odinson Posted June 1, 2017 Share http://www.rapide.co.za/product/rapide-drop-r-externally-routed-dropper-post-2/ Have a look at this one from rapide. I'd avoid droppers with the actuation pin at the top of the post. I have a KS eTen on my HT which has the same actuator type. Just a few specks of dust and dirt and the actuator gets jammed up and your dropper starts acting up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
