Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted May 25, 2016 Share My experience with connecting the cable to the bar remote(ergonomics on the stock 2016 remote is pretty good in my eyes) do not cut the cable inner to length until it's feed through the remote and lock screw portion, if you do its neigh impossible to feed the short length of cable through the hole without all the cable strands coming undone. What a mission!Jip if its already cut its best to remove the remote completely when feeding the cable through. Less fiddly..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a mission!The remote works 100% but the way the cable loops out from 90° to the handlebar bothers me, in a totally cosmetic way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alouette3 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Anyone got a 1st Gen cartridge, or knows of a supplier that has some stock... Giant concept store can't even get! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylark Posted June 14, 2016 Share Anyone got a 1st Gen cartridge, or knows of a supplier that has some stock... Giant concept store can't even get!What! So Giant is saying that the 2015 and previous posts are now redundant? (from what I understand they all use the same cartridge). There was another poster in the dropper thread having the same issue, older post and Giant said no more cartridges avail, sorry for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted June 15, 2016 Share Anyone got a 1st Gen cartridge, or knows of a supplier that has some stock... Giant concept store can't even get!beware of what a concept store tells you .... was at one the other day and they had no idea what the strap on the trail helmets were for ... a quick google search when I got to the office revealed that it is to retain your goggles .... just an example of a simple thing that the guys on the floor should know, or when seeing a new product come into the store, they should find out more info on. I worked in a LBS when leaving school, sure as hell did my homework on all the products on the floor and those the LBS I worked for did not stock in order to give the best service I could to the Clients that came in........seems this was not the norm back then and is still not the norm today. There are good guys out there, you just need to find them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alouette3 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Mine is the original Gen 1, not the newer 2014/2015 model. Spoke to the shop mechanic, he has one himself and apparently had the problem when he tried to replace his own cartridge. A google search showed one of the overseas online stores with stock of the gen 2 parts, but states the gen 1 is discontinued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When spares are no longer there, and an item needs to be replaced, they must come to the party. Or am I just being old world? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickofWestville Posted June 16, 2016 Share Ok so my LBS fitted my first dropper yesterday. Riding this morning the darn thing when fully e tended kept sinking every 30 meters or so and I had to keep standing and popping it up. Try doing that for 40km... Any clues as to what the problem could be. Is there an easy fix.HELP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skylark Posted June 17, 2016 Share There's an inline cable adjuster just after the bar remote, I'd try that first or at the bar remote you can loosen the cable inner lock screw and let the cable out a few mm, that should sort things out. Whatever you do, do not pull the cable inner out of the bar remote as it is just about impossible to refit once it's been cut short after being fitted and will probably need replacing, which is quite a job.
