Description
Is a wireless dropper worth the weight penalty? ⚖️ I’m building a Specialized Epic 8 and needed the perfect balance of travel and weight. And while many people search for the OneUp V3, the Bunker V2 is a hidden gem for those looking for a lightweight, reliable dropper with an adjustable internal pressure.
So here I compare the OneUp V3 and the TurnOn Bunker V2 against veterans like PNW and Fox SL to find the ultimate mechanical dropper post. 🚵♂️
I look at actual weights, stack heights, serviceability, and why a simple 'sealed tube' design might be the best choice for muddy trails. 🛠️
