PNW Components really storms out swashing their buckles with the new, third-generation, Rainier IR dropper post. For 180 USD | 240 CAD they’re delivering options up to 200mm of travel with a shorter overall length thanks to a reduced insertion requirement. There’s now about 30mm of tool-free travel adjustment in 5mm increments and the idiot-proof basic service requires only a 3mm hex key and an adjustable wrench. In addition to the most common 30.9 and 31.6 post sizes, they’ll have the increasingly popular 34.9 option covered by summer.
Phew, and breathe. For 60 USD more, you can add on their excellent Loam Lever. It’s now available in Shimano EV, Shimano I-Spec II, SRAM MatchMaker X, and of course a regular old hinged clamp 22.2mm set up for those that prefer the convenience for the minor trade-off of clutter.
