With an added remote for the GD post. $80 and ten minutes later, I can't believe it took me this long to swap to the remote version. Sooooo much nicer. Dropper post options on this frame are limited due to the small seat tube size. The GD has served well for near six years, so swapping it to remote and keeping it was a no-brainer.


And with a new Reverb on this one. Most excellent. could have swapped the GD on this bike over to remote as well, but had new part lust.

The non-remote post from the Banshee is going on the big bike, which is also going back to a 7" single crown instead of the Boxxer on their now, and back to a two ring setup. The reality is I'd rather pedal it up most places, and only get to the lifts a few times a year. It'll get more overall use setup this way, and still be quite servicable at Diablo and Platty. Much more pedal friendly, a couple pounds lighter, still durable. Win-Win. It's completely overkill for most of my local riding, but nice to have around for those "heavy" days. The fork change won't screw with the geometry -same front end height. A bit more flex, but honestly at my size and for me not doing super big moves, it functionally won't matter.
