slickandtyred Posted December 8, 2016 Share I was going to start a new post, but since the topic is almost identical, I'll hijack this one... I'm planning to get a Lyne dropper post for my Merida Big Nine 300. Price seems good, reviews seem good, and I need a 27.2mm version - they are harder to find. Only problem, it's internally routed... Some forum posts suggest that one might be able to route around the inside of the BB - no idea how much space there is - but there is a large hole at the top, and smaller hole(s) in the bottom. Alternatively, it's a sub R10k bike, I'm not averse to drilling the seat post - perhaps an inch above the BB, at the rear? P.S. When I asked the LBS for advice, they suggested I buy a new bike that comes with a dropper post, only R45k hey!Lyne 27.2mm internally route dropper for Merida. Works fine. No need to drill. Pop one of the bottle cage rivets out and run the cable through. Search other dropper post threads where I attached pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR ◣◢ Posted October 7, 2020 Share Anybody know who sells Setback dropper seat post? 31.6mm diameter- atleast 130mm + drop I need setback of about 2 to 5cm - as already have 90mm stem fitted I know KS used to make a setback clamp dropper post back in the day. I don't think anyone does these days. The strain placed on the stanchion with a setback clamp will cause too much strain to have it operate effectively, especially at something as far as 50mm.

ChrisF Posted October 7, 2020 Share Anybody know who sells Setback dropper seat post? 31.6mm diameter- atleast 130mm + drop I need setback of about 2 to 5cm - as already have 90mm stem fittedThere was a thread about this a while back .... If I recall correctly there was only 1 or 2 options, and even then with minimal set-back.... Have you had a proper bikefit done ? The saddle to peddle position is dependent on YOUR limb dimensions. YES - I know there is some debate to what extent this applies to MTB ... my saddle was too far forward, resulting in various issues. Once set back - after getting the right size bike - the issues were resolved. Very expensive school fees !! The basic steps of a bikefit:- first the fitter should check out you .... are there any issues impacting on the typical setup ... - get the saddle height ... - now get the saddle to peddle position .... - check saddle height again .... - check saddle position again .... - now check the reach to the bars, height of the bars. angle of the bars, etc .... and obviously the "seated" position of a MTB is very different to a road bike .... Sounds easy enough .... but I have seen people start chasing one "aspect", and then mess up other "aspects" of the setup ..... really worth it to get a pro to help you - MUCH cheaper than ending at a physio ...

DR ◣◢ Posted October 7, 2020 Share Also sounds like you’re riding a bike that is too small for you. All the plasters on that bullet wound won’t help in the long run. Christofison and ChrisF 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisF Posted October 7, 2020 Share With saddle so far back it will be "fun" trying to ride up a hill ... the front wheel will be lifting all the time ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you had a proper bikefit done ? The saddle to peddle position is dependent on YOUR limb dimensions. YES - I know there is some debate to what extent this applies to MTB ... my saddle was too far forward, resulting in various issues. Once set back - after getting the right side bike - the issues were resolved. Very expensive school fees !! The basic steps of a bikefit:- first the fitter should check out you .... are there any issues impacting on the typical setup ... - get the saddle height ... - now get the saddle to peddle position .... - check saddle height again .... - check saddle position again .... - now check the reach to the bars, height of the bars. angle of the bars, etc .... and obviously the "seated" position of a MTB is very different to a road bike ....

He believes I need just 2cm adjust to the rear after adding the 90mm stem. Im 1.70m on a medium frame on a Norco Fluid, think the geometry is just hectic.As per the bike fit i dont have out of the ordinary length limbs. I doubt i would need a large frame though. But i will see how i feel after i ride this wkend See spez offers setback dropper, but slight setback ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR ◣◢ Posted October 7, 2020 Share I won’t argue with the bike fit science. I just find it odd that you need a 90mm stem and setback seatpost to fit on a trail bike. That combo will stretch you out on the bike a fair bit. What made you explore the different setup options? ChrisF and Pikey 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
