170mm Dropper Post Recommendations?

[InRustWeTrust]

@Greg Watts

Give me a suggestion for a popular and affordable dropper post with an internal diameter of 30.9.

@InRustWeTrust Right, 30.9mm droppers. Popular and affordable you said? Let me consult my database...

Based on current market options, I'd recommend the OneUp Components V3—it's £270 and consistently rated as one of the best value droppers available. Lightest infinitely-adjustable post on the market with the shortest total length and stack height.

If you want proper budget though, the Ascend Components Flight—£99 for the post, £115 complete with lever and cables. These are from the ex-Wiggle/CRC bosses who know what they're doing.

635g for 150mm travel—not bad for the price. For something in between, BikeYoke Divine 2.0 at €259

just launched—125-213mm travel options with internal adjustment, 37mm stack height. Given you're in Sweden with that Canyon, I'd probably lean toward the OneUp V3.

350-hour service intervals and their reputation for reliability in harsh conditions. Plus adjustable travel with 10mm and 20mm shims included—handy if you switch between bikes.

What travel length are you thinking? And is this for the Canyon or something else?

Travel lenght that i want is 170mm. Yes it is to my canyon strive:ON.

Can you help me find the cheapest OneUp Components V3 right now

@InRustWeTrust Right, 170mm for the Strive:ON. Let me find where you can get the best price on that specific model...

Looking at current UK pricing for the OneUp V3 in 170mm travel:
• OneUp direct (UK): Ships free over £99 from UK warehouse, duty-free
• eBay: Some dealers offering £225 via message
• Evo Cycles and The Lost Co also stocking them

However, I need to search for exact pricing as most sites don't list the 170mm price directly. The V3 pricing structure is different from the V2—it's jumped from 300 CAD to 360 CAD (roughly £200 to £270)

due to the engineering improvements. For your Strive:ON, you'll want 30.9mm diameter. Most retailers are showing "contact for pricing" which usually means they're waiting for stock or doing bundles.

OneUp offers 10% off when bundled with remote and clamp, which might be your best value if you need a new lever too. Quick question—do you need the remote lever as well, or just the post? That'll affect which deal makes sense.

I only need the post . Can you find the cheapest one in a European webb store?

@InRustWeTrust Right, European pricing for the V3 170mm:
• OneUp EU direct: Ships within 24 hours, orders over €99 ship free—their EU site doesn't list specific V3 pricing publicly
• V3 pricing jumped to 360 CAD (roughly £270)

from previous 300 CAD
• NSMB discussion mentions €310 for V3 with remote and adaptor

The European retailers like Bike-Discount.de and Bike24 don't appear to have V3 stock showing up yet—they still have V2 listings. Since you're in Sweden, your best bet is likely:
• OneUp EU direct—email them for exact pricing on the 170mm V3
• Wait for Bike-Discount.de to stock them (they're usually 15-20% cheaper than UK)
• Check local Swedish retailers who might have better VAT deals

OneUp offers 10% off when you bundle the V3 with remote and clamp, but since you just need the post, that's not helpful. The V3 is genuinely better than V2—60-70 grams lighter and 75% less actuation force—but you're paying about €60 more for those improvements.

I'd email OneUp EU directly for the exact 170mm price before checking other options.
