Dropper Posts: Things are hotting up

Yup, the old 100mm feels the same as the new 125mm. Going to try look at externak routing but put the post in first to see if it will make a difference.

 

If not, the route as before but just dont extend the seat at full height.

I'm actually serious about the innersoles though. That, and putting longer pins in your pedals.

or you could get short cranks, fat pedals, innersoles, the new giro helmet and call yourself Mongo?

Lol..you okes are funny...lucky i got a greay semse of humour..hahaha

 

I see the 100mm dropper from giant is 350mm in length and the 125 is 395mm. So my question is, is the 100mm shorrer in terms of the part that goes into the seat tube and will this allow me to get it lower?

 

Comedic comments welcomed...hahaha

Manged to get it as low it can go with the remote working smoothly now. Had to try route the cable on the other side of the suspension bolt so it didn't bend much.

 

Will ride it a while and see if it will work bit feels ok. Thanks for input.

That must have been a fiddle....

You have no idea of the pain it took...had utensils everywhere to help guide it but eventually managed to go through...worth it though

That's when one of these comes in handy

Now that would have saved me a lot of time. ????
