Such a good dropper. I bought this exact dropper matted with the Loom lever. It comes with everything you need. Love this dropper.

Thanks for doing this ! Was just looking at them the other day and wasn't finding too much feedback.

Great to hear! Thanks for the comment!

I love all the PNW Components gear and use them on both my bikes. I just got a hardtail and use this dropper and I am love it.

If Darcy likes it I like it... although I do have a rockshox dropper on my 29er :) which is great even on my cycle to work even though it is all urban!!! TFS, G :)

These guys seem like really nice people. max chill.

Thanks for the helpful review!! I was just researching whether dropper posts generally "squished" a little when raised, like how some forks do even when locked out, because it seemed to me like that might be a nice feature for my hardtail. Surprisingly what I found were all *complaints* when it starts happening and how to fix and service droppers... Then I came across the Coast that intentionally squishes - and it's a great price. It looks like it's aimed more towards urban commuters and gravel riders than XC and trail riders, but I'm still thinking it would be nice for my rough desert riding (varied XC/trail/AM) - not losing climbing efficiency but sparing my pelvis from this crushing Martian hellscape. I like my lightweight carbon post, but I'm even closer now to pulling the trigger on a Coast. Thanks again.

Yeah I think for the right customer this is awesome and the main difference is that you can adjust the threshold of the squish with this post whereas the other posts that go bad just lose some of their functional travel and have no threshold on the top.

beautiful darcy

You talked me into it! I've been intrigued about dropper posts since my wife got a nice mountain bike recently and it had one. My only off road bike is a fat bike with no dropper post and no suspension. The PNW Coast seems like the way to go for me, so I ordered one and a loam lever kit. Nice savings after using your discount code too!!! Have you thought of doing a How To on using a dropper post? I've got a basic idea but I'm sure some tips from you would be really helpful for your audience. Thanks.

It is fully internal, it runs through the frame, through the headtube, the stem, through the handlebars and out on the side to the beautiful loam lever. Zero cable visible all the way straight to the lever. epic. I also went ahead and bought a hardtail xc mtb and installed a coast. great stuff. good thing they ship to liechtenstein

I ordered a PNW Coast and a Loam Lever back in the summer of 2020 with a Performance discount code that you (thanks K&A) provided. With the big shortage on bicycles and parts this year it didn't arrive until almost Thanksgiving. Put it on today and looking forward to riding with it tomorrow. First dropper, and the shock absorption will be a plus. Now I need to review your video on how/when to use a dropper ;-)

April 25, 2021, Kyle if you revisit this page, how is that Coast dropper doing today? I was going to buy one last year but I questioned the durability of such a complicated drop/shock post. I didn't buy it at the time. But if Darcy is still riding it today then that might indicate good durability.

Just saw this post when looking for one for a friend, quite interesting for HT/Rigid riders. Curious though about your neighbors setup, you moved her from a post with some good setback and the saddle a bit back on the rails to a post with no setback and centered on the rails - looks like she's too far over the BB on this new post. Curious as to if she kept the post to ride longer and was she fitted properly for the bike before installing it? How did her knees like the new position?

Can I use these drop post as suspension

Great review of the Coast Dropper! This might be too much to ask, but do you know if I can thread the dropper cable internally on my Specialized Tero 3.0 (Step-through) "without" dropping the motor? Specialized says dropping the motor MUST be done by a dealer or it will void the warranty. :(

@brianpham2584

Жыл бұрын

They have an externally routed version of this post, so I would go that route. No need to drop the motor.

Wouldn't this mess with your geometry, like putting more pressure on your knees and lower back when it compresses? Or does it rebound quick enough where it wouldn't affect the that??

Does it offer suspension when in the dropped position too? Or just when it’s raised?

@AprilRideMTB

Hey! It only offers the suspension if there is 50mm or so of exposed the raised section.

FYI just so u understand when u saw the seat go up and down that was not the suspension part of it working. Like he said in the video it's only the top of it that has a Lil give to take the edge off. Just didn't want you to think the whole thing was a shock with 6in of travel lol. Idk if u know what a dropper post is. But search that. Then come back to this in U'll have a better understanding of how this seat works. If u didn't understand what he was saying. Either way I think it could be nice for long rides on a hard tail or gravel bike like he said. Good Luck!

This is a new idea to me .... why did she change from a full suspension bike to a HT in the first place? And why then head back towards suspension with this post? Whats the benefit in those transitions?

@AprilRideMTB

4 жыл бұрын

Hey! So she changed to hardtail for cross country racing because the hardtail has more efficiency when pedaling. On a full suspension bike the rear shock will absorb some of your pedal power and thats why most racers will use a hardtail. This seatpost really allows the rider to experience the benefit of a hardtail without taking the really harsh impacts while seated pedalling associated with the lack of suspension

you know what i am not sure. The side of the post has an air valve that adjusts up to 300 psi. I think in this video I set it at 200 for Darcy and she weighs 115 pounds so for a big guy that 300 psi might not be enough. I would try emailing pnw and see what they say. They are super helpful!

Hey sorry, this was one of my earlier KZread videos and I really wasn’t sure what I was doing or what a viewer would want to see. I was planning on doing a more in depth one eventually on the coast. It’s a great dropper post and has been awesome to have on a hardtail. It has an adjustable air suspension threshold that you can set to match your body weight so that the post isn’t just spongy. If you have any other questions let me know
