My son has bought a new fully to take over for his old hardtail. It is a Giant Anthem Advanced Carbon in medium. It has a RockShox Reverb Stelath 420mm dropper port – but he is just a tad to short-legged, even with the post slammed into the frame. (Yes I did try to lower it further and broke of the connectamajig.. Now one fitted now).
So, my question is. Have anyone tried to reduce the max height by extending the small brass keys ? (like in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcNkDHq5p6Y )
I could buy a new 35mm version, but 1) They are expensive and 2) it is just a matter of time before he needs the full throw as he grows.

I successfully reduced the extended height of my one-up seat post by an old shift wire between saddle and saddle clamp. The lenght is adjusted with a wire rope clamp. So if your son grows, you could quickly increase the maximum extension.
Not sure you can with a Reverb. Drop SRAM and email and they’ll tell you if it’s possible.
Why not use a bit of tape or luggage strap under the saddle and top tube to limit the height? I’ve seen plenty of people do that
