Hi. I'd like to buy Vitus E-Sommet VRX. I'm jumping a lot and at least 170mm dropper is compulsory for me. I need to know what is the maximum insertion length on size M. I don't mind fitting a dropper with external routing so I'm just interested in how much the actual main part of the dropper can go down.
E-Sommet size M has seat post with length of 433m. That means that in my case OneUp V2 170mm would have to go 148mm inside the frame + 15mm for actuator (which is maybe slim enough to be treated as a cable).
My current bike has 725mm from crank axle to saddle rails. I have 175mm cranks. Vitus has 160mm cranks so the distance from crank axle to saddle rails has to be 740mm. 740 - 433 = 307mm above the seat post collar. OneUp V2 total length (170mm version) is 470mm. 470 - 307 = 163mm of insertion with actuator, and 148mm without it.
