Why Use an Externally Routed Dropper Post
A dropper post is a type of bicycle seatpost that can be quickly and easily raised or lowered, allowing the rider to lower their seat for technical riding and raise it for climbing. Externally routed dropper posts are the most common type of dropper post, and they are easy to install and maintain.
Pros
- Compatibility: Externally routed dropper posts are compatible with any frame that has a standard seatpost opening. This makes them a good option for riders who are upgrading their bikes or who are buying a new bike without a dropper post.
- Ease of installation: Externally routed dropper posts are relatively easy to install. The cable can be routed through the frame using a variety of methods, and there are no internal cable housings to worry about.
- Ease of maintenance: Externally routed dropper posts are also easy to maintain. If the cable gets dirty or frayed, it can be easily replaced.
Cons
- Cable rub: The cable that controls the dropper post can rub against the frame or the rear tire, which can cause noise and friction.
- Looks: Some riders don't like the way that externally routed dropper posts look.
