£2595 - Having some issues with eBay not displaying my listing properly so the price has been dropped again. For some reason my listing doesn't always show up on eBay when sorting by Highest Price First so anyone searching and sorting like that simply does not see the listing. Spoke to eBay and...

I'm certain the dropper won't break, I was more concerned about prematurely wearing out the internal bushes and making it sloppy over time. The Pros wouldn't have to worry about longevity as much as we do.

That the Halfords one or Saris one?

Well spotted, I've fixed it now.

Cool thanks.

Tidy! It's given me an idea actually so I'm going to make something.

I've added an option E to the Poll for 'None of the above' as that is seeming more common currently.

That's another good tip about using dropper bars as hooks, I like that!

That's a valid point. In the Park video they crunched the numbers and reckon there's only about 27Nm of rotational torque (when hanging a non ebike) and they are assuming that the dropper can handle that, so yeah, some assumption is involved.

Park seem to think it's fine. I can't clamp the frame because it's carbon, and carbon really doesn't like that.

Nice, this the one you have? Halfords False Cross Bar | Halfords UK they reckon it is rated to just 15kg but if it works it works.

That's actually a really good idea, wonder if my internally routed headset cables would get in the way of that, will investigate further. I take it it's sturdy enough then?

I thought of that but internally routed droppers make that a bit of a chore.

Not in the grand scheme of things no, just depends what you're doing. C wouldn't be ideal for bleeding a rear brake mind you!

A Park PCS-9.3 Workshop stand. It's apparently rated to 36kg but you can tell it's not entirely happy with my 24kg bike, it's not too bad but you can tell it wasn't made for it becasue you have to really tigthen everything up for it to hold the bike properly. It's a fair bit happier though the...

Physics says that hanging my heavy bike level from a dropper post that isn't at the centre mass of the bike is putting alot of stress on the internals of the post (I assume bushes), here: So which way is the recommended method? A: Bike level, dropper post at an angle. (Easier to work on)...

Well they also don't do ebikes. Local sale it is then 🤣

Yeah so far it seems like an almost impossible task which is ridiculous in this day and age, batteries are shipped about all over the place every day so I don't really see the issue. I could deliver myself but it's a 6hr round trip so I could really do without having to do that if I can help it.

They seem to be more about shipping unboxed motorbikes. So far this place is standing out a bit, no specific mention of ebikes though so I've emailed them: www.bikedelivery.co.uk Seems the battery is the reason a lot of places won't do it.
