I do see the draw to them but in uk climate it destroys them, i ride street, trials, and xc i pop my seat up to ride to the place and when i arrive it gets lowerd, i ride a norco torrent set up for allround and i find it perfect for do all and do anything, im 6,4" and 20stone so a dropper dosent work on my weight or the way i ride its a lot of money for what it dose, i still rode xtr v,s up until a bargin set of hope discs came availible and the vs preformed excellently in all conditions i just find tech these days to be drawing on more extras than needs. I mean reverting back to 2pce cranks??? When 3piece are mechanically more sound and servicable?? Ie bend the axle on a 2pce u need the arm/spindle on a 3pce its 1 piece, dropper post screws up on a ride what do u do? Carry a spare?? A simple straight piece of ally/carbon vs a technical and another piece of kit to possibly go wrong?? I do see the perks but a bit young in development for me.
