The real utility of the dropper post for me is in climbing. On XC courses I would set my post height at some compromise height, like I would on a CX bike. I’d always feel it in my knees on the climbs though when it was just a bit too low. Now it’s perfect for decents and for climbs. Such a useful addition to an MTB. Even being able to adjust the height without the bloody thing twisting from the centre line is a win for me. :)
