The cable on mine is stationary, thats a really good thing as it means when its down (i.e when you're throwing the bike around most) you dont have a big loop of excess cable flapping about !


That's what drew me towards the Kronolog, this ICE one may be wrth a look. What shop did you get it from?


Got mine from the new shop in Hadleigh velo virtuoso or whatever it's called, Sam the owner posts on this forum.

I've been looking for one for a while and been waiting to hear reviews of the new kronolog. Really dont like the reviews its been getting. Currently like the look of the new KS Lev post. But cant find anywhere that sells them yet.


Online Bikes has a few in the display case.



Where's that then?

I believe it's the newer version in the shop. I bought the Kronolog today from them as if anything goes wrong they can sort it out easiee than sending it off myself.I've also heard they may have sorted the issues with the post but then every post has issues and apparently a lot of people have the post and its been fine. Only time will tell and CB have a nice 2 year warrenty.

I know people maoned the seat took a long tiem to return but I don't know what there on about, I almost took my balls out.

Well her eit is, hopefully it transforms the Voltage FR into a bike that will finally pedal well enough to allow me to keep up with everyone else on their XC bikes and stop me from walking up most things.

Set up with 150mm travel in the rear and soon to be 150mm in the front as soon as I get round to reducing the travel by 10mm.

Been for my maiden ride but alas only on the towpaths so I could concentrate on how to use the thing while riding and it's so simply I love the thing. Normally I would be shattered after the lunch stop and walking up hills, I was flying up the hills and wasn't the last one back at the end.

My back side still feels numb from sitting down too much but hey it's the solution to all of my riding needs and I'm totall converted.

Now the only thing now is the test of time, how long till it breaks.

I saw another Reverb today that didn't even want to go up or down, well it did at a snails pace.

Hi.. This is my first post but wanna mention I've had a gravity dropper classic for a few years and although a bit of tinkering has been involved its still fine and you can buy replacement parts and it's fairly simple to dismantle and service. And the cable stays in one place cable tied to the frame so don't interfere with your rear suspension.
