Is the dropper post the biggest innovation in mountain bike history? Our MTB presenter Tom Law certainly thinks so.
He also thinks every bike should have a dropper post. Yes, that includes road bikes.
Never one to shy away from a controversial point of view, in this video Tom talks you through why he is adamant that even road, gravel and hybrid city bikes should come with a dropper post out of the box.
He lays down the law on why budget hardtails should ditch cheap suspension forks, why hardtail riders need them to help prevent punctures and why road racing would be safer if the best dropper posts became ubiquitous.
Has Tom finally lost the dropper post plot? Do you think road bikes should have dropper posts? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
