I've been using this post for about 2 years now, and I have no issues after the breaking it in for a few rides. If it's adjust correctly it will work flawlessly. This post drops smoothly and returns quickly with a nice thump. Just watch your underside. If you've never used a dropper post, I'm not exaggerating when I say it's a game changer. I went from 2002 26"" Gary Fisher hardtail to a 2016 Comp carbon 6fattie Stumpjumper, and with all the new technology and massive improvements on mountain bikes today, the dropper post was by far the most impressive to me. If you're on the fence about this post, don't hesitate!
