Fantastic kit. I use the same set up along with the Freemotion harness. Interestingly I notice that dropper seat posts dont seem popular with pros. I realise weight saving is everything in racing but for my fast but purely recreational single track joring the additional control over rough terrain, tight corners and hard braking gained by having a dropped post far outweighs the need to save a few grams and I do wonder if racers are even aware of their existence or experimented with them.

A dropper seatpost is one of the best recent inventions that has become increasing popular over recent years. Now, with more options of lighter weight dropper posts and increased reliability, not only trail and enduro bikes are being equipped with droppers. If you compare the 2019 World Cup XC MTB to the 2021 races, many competitors are now using dropper posts. With the weight penalty being at-least 200g, it's a big weight gain, but with the newer more technical race tracks, it mean that you can ride faster and safer with a dropper. Not everyone is convinced though and some riders still switch between.
If you compare the World Cup MTB with bikejoring, the courses are very different. There are no bikejoring courses to our knowledge that include drop offs or technical steep rock gardens like the World Cup MTB. Without these features, some riders don't feel the need to use a dropper. Each rider is different though and it depends what works best for you. If you feel that the 200g+ weight penalty is worth the increase in speed for cornering, that might give you the edge to get a PB., then go for it! It just might take some other riders a bit longer to come round to the idea.

How did you secure the antenna on top of the stem? The bike antenna from nonstop is to small for my bike.

[@non-stopdogwear]

Hi Simen,
To place the Bike Antenna on top of the stem you need to remove some of the headset spacers from under the handlebar, then first put the handlebar on the stem, and then the bike antenna.
In case the Bike Antenna does not fit your bike`s stem diameter, you can take a look at our Bike Antenna KlickFix, that attaches to the handlebar.
