    Yeah, well, dropper posts are known to be finicky, and somewhat fragile. That's why I was curious about the Giant one (Contact Switch). I'm on the quest for the perfect dropper post. Keep me informed as you get more time in on it.

    Overall though, are you sold on the concept? Or more of a "take it or leave it"?

    well, i have something else to report. i was on a ride yesterday, and went down a harsh root drop, and heard a very loud crack. my saddle is older, and loose, so i figured i fat-guyed my saddle. When i rolled up to the group, one of them said (he's a bike mechanic) that it was my seat post that made that awful noise. it made a couple other smaller noises throughout the rest of the ride, but still seems "ok". i guess i'll need to have it looked at. i'm not a big person, i shouldnt have broken it already, but who knows.

    Well, from watching your ride videos, you have exactly the kind of terrain that dropper posts were made for. After some "time spent", report back on if you think they are worth it or not. Me, I'll never ride without one again.
