FAQs

Does this post fit all mountain bikes?

This post is designed for frames without internal routing and requires a specific seatpost diameter—verify your bike's seat tube size before purchasing.

Can I install this myself?

Yes, if you have basic mechanical skills and tools like cable cutters and hex keys, the installation is straightforward.

What is the benefit of the 20mm offset?

The offset moves the saddle position slightly rearward, which can help improve ergonomics for riders who feel their reach is too short.

How do I clean the stanchion?

Use a soft cloth to wipe away dust and mud after each ride to keep the seal lubricated and moving freely.

Is the travel adjustable?

No, the travel is fixed based on the model specifications provided.

Troubleshooting

Post is slow to return to full height

Check the cable tension at the remote and ensure the housing is free of sharp bends or debris.

Excessive side-to-side play in the saddle

Ensure the head bolts are tightened correctly and check that the seatpost collar is not overly tight.

Remote lever feels stiff

Lubricate the cable and housing with a high-quality cycling-specific lubricant.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ideal for frames without internal routing
  • Durable, hard-anodized finish resists wear
  • Smooth and consistent hydraulic operation
  • Simple, straightforward installation process

Cons

  • External cable routing requires cable tie management
  • Heavier than high-end carbon internal models
  • Limited to specific frame types without internal ports

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires standard bike tools, including a set of metric hex keys and cable cutters. Ensure the seatpost clamp is clean and free of debris before insertion; avoid overtightening the seatpost clamp to prevent binding of the internal mechanism. Because the cable is routed externally, use zip ties or stick-on cable guides along the frame's top tube or seat tube to prevent the housing from snagging during full suspension compression. Regularly wipe down the stanchion with a clean, dry cloth after muddy rides to maintain smooth actuation. If the post becomes sluggish, check the cable tension at the remote and ensure the housing is not kinked.
