I'm an old-school rider who didn't get his first dropper-post until he got one as stock spec on a Specialized Fuse Expert that he bought in 2017.

Sure, 2021 is more than a little bit late-to-the-game for me to be writing an article on my personal blog advocating for the use of dropper-posts on mountain bikes. But, you see, I ride on a regular basis with a few other old doods, militant Luddites all, who have yet to upgrade their bikes to a seat-post that drops with the pull of a trigger. I've been trying to convert them for years, at every opportunity singing the praises of dropper-posts loud and clear, to no avail.

So this blog post that I've written today is all I've got left, my last-ditch effort to try to get them (and any other old-school Luddite resisters) to see the light: Let's ride with a dropper-post!

Takes a while to get brain to adjust......they are very useful in many scenarios(descending mainly)and you'll eventually see the light get brighter.
I was hesitant at first and literally rode a year without even thinking to use most of time then it just one day clicked.

You should watch as on road bike i coast past guys on long downhill as theyre pedaling. They ask, how did i do that, i show them my dropper. It makes an amazing difference on long fast descents.

Great thread! Don’t think this issue has come up before.

Do your riding buddies’ bikes have front derailleurs, too?

I applaud you for fighting the good fight. People just don't know how much better they could have it, sometimes. It's at least worth a try. You can pick one up used for around $100 usually. Sell it for what you paid if you hate it

I consider this to be a solid essay. But, I would suggest that you focus more on the text's organization and the narrative style that would engage the reader. When I was a college student, I also struggled with this nursing research paper writing service , so before my final examinations, I sought assistance from a reputable thesis writing service. After consulting with them, the top writers quickly created a qualitative dissertation that matched my specifications.

It's cool to read something like this. I'm still a beginner at this. so this kind of experience is invaluable.
