I have no problem fitting a 210 oneup dropper on my Megatower V2. Why is it so different on the Crestline?

this whole dropper length discussion is basically just a math problem everybody that attended school should be able to solve on their own
you know your current saddle height, you know the frame height, the max insertion and the length of the seatpost. why is that a problem for so many?

Well pre-order shipping email stated early April, so hoping for that! Get warmed up for the Bike Parks this summer!

Almost. It will be the Edge for my 181.2. Adjustable travel 150-180 mm.

Check out the 200mm offering from Wolf Tooth. It has a much lower insertion length. I posted about this a few back. Seems to be the best solution for those on an RH3 around 6' tall looking for max riser and being able to get as close as possible to fully slammed. One UP 210 mm insertion length 305 vs 271+ 20.2 (291.2mm) on the Wolf tooth. That's nearly an inch!I had 150 cranks initially, sized up to 160. Still couldn’t run longer than 180 post. The issue is the longer post insertion, if the post insertion length was the same i could run a 200, but when you have the added length on both ends you can’t insert it far enough.
Also full builds available on crestline site

after the embargo lifts. Sometime around the second week of April.

The 200mm WT’s insertion length is 21mm longer than the 180 OU according to the specs online.Check out the 200mm offering from Wolf Tooth. It has a much lower insertion length.

I'm comparing the 210mm vs the 200mm since this will provide the height needed for me. Haven't bothered looking at the 180.
The OU 180 has the same insertion length as the WT 200, on second glance.
And it's a bit suspect to me that OE doesn't list their insertion length and requires some math to sort out...

Gotcha, if you look close at the added 20mm’s for the cable connector, it’s 21mm’s longer from the collar down.

Its not. I added that and noted it in the math. its checks out . 271+20.2=291.2 vs 305. The WT has a shorter insertion by ~15mm. I am hopeful I can squeeze out a couple more mm with some creative cable routing. I like my seat slammed.

Talking of builds... it's odd that the Team Edition option states XO drivetrain, and includes a GX RD, a XX cassette, and a XO chain. The XX cassette seems like an expensive choice there.

Does anyone know if there is a new vivid expected as well at Sea otter?
Yes. Should come with the Spectre frames
I would def order it if not having the ‘regular’ ordered already. Looks so sick.
Got in on the forged carbon drop this morning too!
Does anyone know if the sizes have the same rear triangle for the 29 vs MX versions? The RH4 only had an MX option but the other sizes had both an MX and 29er option. I was hoping to use the 29er wheels from my current rig.
I’ve been running xx11 speed for years on my ebike, (Bosch cx race) without any issues.
Speaking for myself, this isn't "hard" per say but this is my first VPP bike and Ive always been able to put in the right dropper post without thinking about it on all my other bikes- well since droppers were invented at least. I've never bothered to measure my seat height. Having an adequate amount of seat post without too much stack height when lowered is a big deal. Not having the frame makes it hard to see what the stack on a lowered seat is. I thought it would be appropriate to come to a forum where people talk about these type of things and you know, talk about it. It seems that I am not the only one with this question either. But thank you for your helpful contribution to the discussion!
Do people outside of CA get dinged for state sales tax on their Crestie purchase price?

then ask the right question, all you people ask for is the length and then stating your height. your height has NOTHING to do with that, but your inseam length. 2 peope the same height can have seat heights differer by a more than a few centimeters.

OK - i have 31" inseam. RH3, OneUp V3 180 or 210, math whiz?

really a bummer, this uncertainity, i hope you are going to cope. if only there was a method to find out for sure, right?

I know youre being sarcastic, but isnt the info everyone needs right on the website?? Add that with the saddle height on your current rig and you should know what you need.
I get it though, we all have this frame coming and want to make sure we are good to go when it arrives
. Allllllll that said, im not 100% sure if my 200mm neo with fit, so I grabbed a 175 just in case

yes, still involves math. and that seems like a huge obstacle for some here. or a lack of spatial imagination

Not sure if it varies state to state, but I am in currently living Florida and didnt have any.
With one of these on order, its also fun to talk about while we wait. However, I get excited when I see a notification for this thread. Then, when I see its another seat post comment, the excitement evaporates
. I guess Im adding to the fluff…
