Dropper post, Powerfly 5, small.

[Stihldog]

She loves her bike, and so does her daughter and neighbour. Which means I am constantly adjusting the seat hight to suit different leg lengths and riding styles. Since this small Powerfly 5 is a hardtail and mainly used on double-track, easy bike trails and roads, I thought it might be easier/faster to install a dropper for specific seat hight. They are about the same hight (5’3”) but they have different leg lengths and preferences.
(Trying to keep everyone happy).
Any suggestions or experience for a small dropper?

The spec sheet for the small Powerfly 7 model, which has a dropper, says this: TranzX JD-YSP18, 100 mm travel, internal routing, 31.6 mm, 361 mm length. So you'd expect that to fit.

That’s a good question. Not sure how much room I have there. I guess I’ll have to measure the maximum hight and go from there. Seems like a short dropper though.

Ok, there’s an idea.
