Fair Bicycle: Drop Best Universal Delivers Offset to Your Dropper Post

Last month, we shared the Drop Best, a mechanism that gives a RockShox Reverb forward or reverse offset. With 27mm of offset, you can change your seat angle by 2º, i.e., from 74º to 76º. This week, Fair Bicycle, the manufacturer of the Drop Best announced three Universal Drop Best models that work on any dropper post, depending on the dropper post hardware. The UC M6 uses M6 hardware, the UC M5 uses M5, and the UC F21 is for Fox Transfer posts that use the Fox Transfer MY2021 head design.

Check out the all-new universal Drop Best models at Fair Bicycle.
