Can you give some detail on the advantages of a dropper post. I mean, obviously it gets out of your way when you're descending, but is it really that advantageous? I was considering one for awhile, but mostly just because I had money to waste and wanted to buy fancy things for my bike. Right now, I usually just leave my seatpost in the same location the entire ride and try to work around it.
