When you are slapping the saddle down almost as often as changing gears, you want to ensure that you have a sharp actuation with no hesitation or doubt in your mind that it won’t lower out of the way. The folks down at cSixx have tried and tested almost all the levers on the market, […] View full article

Good day Guys and Girls. I have a Rockshox Reverb dropper that's getting stuck in the up position. I have checked that the post hasn't been tightened too much by the clamp holding the dropper so that's not the cause I have checked the pressures but would like to bleed it again. has anyone had experience with a reliable service department that wont try to take and arm and a leg? Thanks for the help in advance.

Hi guys, I just bought a ks lev ci dropper from a hubber. No complaints at all except the twisting play. Is this normal? There feels like quite a lot... Please can you give me any info or any advice on how I can fix it. Regards Kai

Dropper posts have fast become an expected feature on any decent trail bike and increasingly seen on marathon and cross country offerings. With the rise in popularity comes an influx of feedback on the variety of options available. Amongst the many satisfied dropper owners we see a littering of complaints about the high costs of market leaders and the inferiority of many of the low cost contenders.

Hi all, Considering a dropper post for my hardtail XC bike to help with those sketch descents, and when I go play a little on the smaller jumps at the bike park. I absolutely hate any amount of suspensions pump, which is the main reason I still stick with hardtails even for marathon lenght rides. I will take the rolling resistance of a plus tire over the losses in a rear sus that doesnt fully lock out any day. So my question is, at the more budget end of the spectrum, R2500 to R3500, how well do these dropper posts lock out? I rode a mates bike with a crank brothers dropper post, and it was properly solid, but a little outside my budgets at the moment. What is something like the Lyne components advertised on the Hub like? worth it, or should I save up for a top end dropper post?

My latest Trance still is using the Giant dropper with the same lever that been there since the first post. Nothing horrifically bad about it, but after riding a bike with a Fox that had the lever under the bar, when I saw that Lyne Components had one that was modded to fit the Giant Dropper, I picked one up. Here's the lever I've faithfully been using on a Trance or three over the years (well, each had it's own one) across the different versions of the Giant droppers they have fitted, right to my current Trance Advance with the 150mm dropper. Here they are side by side: And here is the little 3D printed piece to accommodate the way that Giant cable needs to be tightened. Dayle from Lyne told me this when I collected the lever (damn, it was good service, I emailed as I was in the area and 30min later was collecting!)... This was a high-speed "mod" slash "upgrade" to my bike, and only needed these two tools: So, now to find the perfect spot to put the lever on the bar, and lets say the first issue (well, only issue really) popped up. Fitting to the left of the brake lever meant that it was just too far "left" if that makes sense. And at the "perfect spot" it was unable to engage because it hit into the clamp for my brakes. So after a little bit of left and right, settled on what worked best for me: Then because the Giant Dropper lever had that unsightly, shitty long tube thing out of it for the adjuster, there was plenty of cable to pull through the lever's tightening mechanism. I first backed on 1 to 2mm of spacing on the adjuster barrel just incase I went ape-**** and over tightened the cable. Then the problem is that there is no real way to get the cable cutters to get any closer to this finger-stabbing-leftover: So, although I'm no boer, I made a plan. Whilst the plan was not elegant, the solution was. haha. I simply pressed the cable into the hole with an allen key and now it looks great. Totally invisible whilst it's all mashed up and frayed like Zuma's brain. And here we go! Lever fitted. Literally, even with taking pics, this was a 10min operation. VERDICT? Money well spent, and the leverage is a lot more than the Giant one, so the action is really soft with hardly any force required to press / operate the dropper. It would be great if it could sit 8mm or so more to the left (and not contact the brake lever clamp), but It's just so much better than the standard one. Best 200 bucks and 10min spent on the bike in years. EDIT TO ADD: took a ride or two to get used to, but now wonder how I ever pressed the lever without such a light action and having to move my thumb up with the old one.

Hi ladies and gents, My giant dropper post cartridge is seized at the actuator button on the top, so the unit does not lock in the upper position or allow it to be dropped. Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement cartridge? I have the older version with 100mm travel. mine is similar to this http://fcdn.mtbr.com/attachments/giant/936659d1415138489-giant-contact-switch-seatpost-switchrscheme1.jpg

Hi guys/gals, So I recently purchased a previously loved 2015 S Works Camber- She's been really well taken care of and rides like a dream. I've started noticing that my dropper post (in this case, it's a Specialized Command Post IR) is getting stuck in the top position. When pressing the trigger whilst sitting on the post, it has no effect- one really needs to jump down on the saddle with the trigger depressed to get it to go down. It has no issues returning back up once I manage to get it to go down. Pressure in the post seems more than adequate. Does anyone have any suggestions other than taking it in? Secondly, does anyone know what type of warranty these items have? Thanks in advance!

http://www.pinkbike.com/news/first-look-lindarets-remount-remote-dropper-adapter.html I find this rather exciting and very simple First Look: Lindarets ReMount Remote Dropper AdapterMay 19, 2015by Richard Cunningham Follow Add to Favorites http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb12247544/p5pb12247544.jpg Lindarets is a small US manufacturer that offers solutions to common technical problems that mountain bikers face, like Wolf Tooth booster cassette cogs, the Goat Link derailleur extender for Shimano Shadow mechs' and now, ReMount - a clever clamp-on stub that converts most dropper-post remote levers to emulate the action of a trigger shift lever, just like the Specialized SRL lever and the Fox DOSS remote. The "ReMount" does just that, it is a molded-delrin stub, the same diameter as the handlebar, that changes the direction of the lever's actuation by 90 degrees, and more importantly, ReMount allows the dropper remote to be positioned within easy reach of the thumb while being clamped inboard of the brake lever. ReMount users get the freedom to position both the brake lever and the dropper remote exactly where they want them to be. It is one of those, "Why didn't I think of that?" products that should make a lot of riders happy. Remount is made and sourced in the USA, and will operate with most cable-actuated dropper posts. It is designed to operate with a one-by drivetrain, but Lindarets tells us that friends with left-side shift levers have been adapting the ReMount stub with good results. http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb12247540/p5pb12247540.jpghttp://es.pinkbike.org/245/sprt/i/pb-small.png ReMount is molded from tough delrin plastic to the same diameter as a handlebar. The hardware is stainless steel and brass. ReMount's post extension offers 30 millimeters of adjustment and its molded plastic construction is intended to both save weight and to prevent damage to carbon handlebars in the event of a crash. MSRP is $19 USD and the claimed weight is only 20 grams. Lindarets sells them direct from their web store.

Hi Guys Wonder if anyone can assist with some advice for a friend. He want to buy a dropper post, but he has a small frame and his seat tube is too short for the post. At full extension, his seat will be too high. Can the post be cut? I have attached pics for reference. There is a red device at the bottom of the post, if it is cut, can this red thing be shifted up? His seat tube is 390mm, but I believe there's a bend that preventing it being pushed all the way in The post has a total length of 400mm Its the KS Super Natural
