Nice, really keen to see how this performs. If you don't mind my asking, whats the length of the post?

Me too, after owning a Divine SL and Transfer SL. Did own a Yep dropper before, trouble free for years.

Thanks for the reply. Why did you move on from the Transfer SL?

See the thread below. It creaked (repaired by Fox) and prefer an intermediate position - if you can say that with 80mm drop ;-)

First use report:
Post feels very solid, no play and very smooth action. Drop is enough for me/my use. No hint whatsoever of clamping/binding issues like some other superlight droppers - although I use a ‘friendly’ seatpost clamp (Intend Corona) and 3,5 Nm.

Any chance you could weight the upper cradle part for me? I'm playing around with making lightweight versions of some cradles so curious what this one weighs.

Next time I take it off, I will. Thought about making one when installing it, but forgot…

Nice. Really not much room to drop any further grams there, am interested in seeing Crankbrothers Highline 11 reviews in the next little while too.
