KS Rage-i dropper - any good?

[Nambra]

Anyone had any experience with the KS Rage-i dropper post? Are they good, or shit?

Looking for a cheap 31.9/125mm for the son's bike and can get one of these KS jobs new for $140 so was thinking it would be worth a try.

31.6 or 30.9?

Hedged my bets there didn’t I... meant to say 31.6 to fit rowdy’s old Scott HT frame.

Worth it.
$140 is crazy cheap

I haven’t tried one. Pic looks a bit like BrandX/TransX. I’d ask @Nerf Herder. He’ll give you an absolutely honest overview.

Just got an honest reply to a PM I sent him yesterday - reckon it’s worth a shot for that price, even if I still need a remote.

If you just want a stock KS remote, I’ve got one you can have. A few scratches, but all good. Not the best for a kid though, pretty heavy action.

Thanks @moorey, you're referring to this style of remote, right?

It's actually the only option at present as the bike is still rocking a 3x9 drivetrain. What'll be the damage to have it posted to Brissy?

Yeah, that’s it. Whatever post is. If there’ll let it go through as an envelope, $2. Otherwise about $8 I think.

Done - flinging you a PM now.

Far from cosmetically perfect, but all sweet.

Is your thumb made from sandpaper?

Yes.
Thought I’ve never used this. Came on a post, I swapped straight out to a converter shifter.
