Hey Guys Just gonna chime in a bit here with some facts on the dropper play debate. All droppers of all brands will have play of some sort. Without this they won't operate smoothly and swiftly when you need them to. We often get enquiries from first time dropper owners who are unaware that this is a totally normal part of owning a dropper post. Dropper play will vary from brand to brand, some starting out great, and getting extremely bad, others with small amounts that don't worsen much over time. The amount of play comes down to machining tolerances and materials (which are also proportionate to the price), as well as the design of the post. It's got nothing to do with the cartridge style that the post has uses as well as cable tension. Our posts typically wear in over the first couple of hours of riding and stay pretty consistent thereafter. We're using 7075 alloy as well as three bushings on our latest version internal post to try and combat play. The tolerances are extremely fine when manufacturing a dropper post, so the amount of play will vary between production runs. We have seen very high end dropper brands (some mentioned earlier in this thread) with terribly sloppy posts on the showroom floor, and others from the same brand out in the market with incredibly small amounts of play after years of riding. So there is a certain level of inconsistency between production runs. The most important question to ask though, is whether the play in any brand of dropper, is affecting your ride. When weight is applied to a dropper the keys are forced in to keyways reducing sideward play, the bushing are loaded rearward due to the seat angle, so the result is actually very little movement whilst riding. Most dropper play is noticed or tested whilst standing along side the bike with no weight on the post and may appear exaggerated compared to actual riding conditions. If anyone has any issues or queries with one of our droppers please feel free to get in touch any time and we'll gladly assist. Cheers Dayle

Thanks Rudi I would appreciate the feedback. Cheers Dayle

Our idea with the shorter prong design was to avoid over insertion leading to rim tape damage or pushing the plug fully in to the tyre and loosing it. The other idea is to have a solution that plugs just deep enough that the plug doesn't need to be trimmed. Whats important is that the plug is pushed in to the cavity around the prong for it to work, if not it will limit how deep you can push in the plug.

Hi Rudi Sorry to hear your Shred Zeppelin didn't perform as it should have. Before shipping out the product we made a change to the O-ring size to allow for a better punching on certain bombs with a concave seal. It seem you may have received one with the incorrect O-ring, we'll send out a replacement unit for you today. As for the plug side, our plug applicator falls within the same dimensions as most popular applicators on the market (image below) so I am interested if the performance would have been any different. Was the hole perhaps pretty large to begin or in a difficult position along the tyre bead? We plugged a lot of tyres with our prototypes without fail, so your feedback is important for us for future product improvements. Cheers Dayle

Thanks for the heads up! Was this a medium frame?

Thanks for this!

Hi Guys Holy Rail Blog/Archive is live: https://www.lynecomponents.com/blog If you could be so kind as to send us photos of your working Holy Rail setups, this will greatly help your fellow cyclists. You can email them to me at info@lynecomponents.com Thanks Dayle

Hi Dwayne Thanks for posting the pic. What size frame is that? Thanks Dayle

Hi Unfortunately I cant answer that confidently. I believe the dimensions should be similar but wouldn't want to recommend it unless I'm 100% sure. I will keep an eye out if one gets fitted to that model. Cheers Dayle

Sorry for the delay on this, you can thank customs for seizing the shipment of straps! Trying to get them out ASAP. Cheers Dayle
