Merida E160 900 E

[Rockyw]

Just picked up my new Merida E160 900E in size medium, and will have to take it back to the shop, the lowest seat height is too high for me. Will I need a different dropper post, or can they shorten it to get it lower in the seat post ?

New dropper post, you cant physically shorten the body of a dropper post

Hi, I have had the same problem. Iv,e changed to X Fusion which works for me, just.
Looks the same as the post on my wife’s 800e.
The valve at the bottom of the Reverb is the problem for me.
One Up have a short insertion post which I think has had good reviews.
Good luck.
Enjoy your new Merida, it’s a great bike.

Swapped the 150mm drop reverb for a 125 mm drop reverb and all good now.

Might still change the dropper at some stage as its hard to position the reverb button in the right place for easy activation, due to the mode change system being in the way.

Just change the mode selector to one of the others int he shimano range
