FAQs

What diameter is this dropper seatpost?

This specific model is 31.6mm in diameter.

What is the maximum drop length?

This eTen model offers 125mm of drop.

Is this seatpost suitable for downhill riding?

While durable, it is best suited for trail riding and general use where frequent adjustments are beneficial. For extreme downhill, consider posts with longer travel and more robust damping.

How do I connect the lever to the seatpost?

The lever connects via a standard shifter cable. You will need to route the cable from the lever on your handlebar down to the actuator at the base of the seatpost.

Can I service the hydraulic cartridge myself?

The hydraulic cartridge is sealed and not designed for user servicing. If you experience issues with it, it's recommended to seek assistance from a professional bike mechanic or consider replacement.

What maintenance is required for the KS eTen?

Regular cleaning of the stanchion and seal area is the primary maintenance. Ensure the actuation cable remains clean and properly tensioned for smooth operation.

Troubleshooting

Seatpost is sticky or slow to move

Check cable tension and ensure the cable is clean and lubricated. Clean the stanchion and seal area.

Seatpost will not stay at a set height

This may indicate an issue with the internal hydraulic cartridge. Consult a qualified bicycle mechanic.

Lever is difficult to operate

Inspect the actuation cable for kinks or damage. Ensure it is properly routed and free from obstructions. Lubricate the cable.

Seatpost makes noise during operation

Clean the stanchion and seal. Ensure the seatpost clamp is not over-tightened, which can cause binding.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely easy and quick seat height adjustments via lever.
  • Durable construction with hard-anodised stanchion and alloy mast.
  • Reliable performance in various conditions due to sealed hydraulic cartridge.
  • Suitable for multiple riders due to simple adjustment mechanism.
  • Provides good value for a functional dropper seatpost.

Cons

  • Heavier compared to some higher-end, lightweight dropper posts.
  • Lever actuation might be less ergonomic for some riders than a thumb lever.
  • The 20mm rear offset may not suit all rider positions.
  • The 125mm drop may be insufficient for riders preferring very low saddle heights.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Install the seatpost into your bike's seat tube, ensuring it is at the desired height for initial setup.
  2. Connect the lever actuation cable to the post and route it along your frame to the handlebar lever.
  3. Adjust cable tension using the barrel adjuster on the lever or post for smooth operation.
  4. Tighten the seatpost clamp securely to the manufacturer's recommended torque.

Compatibility:

  • This seatpost requires a 31.6mm seat tube diameter on your bicycle frame.
  • Ensure your frame has internal or external cable routing capabilities for the dropper post lever.
  • Check that your brake lever setup allows for the mounting of the KS eTen dropper lever.

Care:

  • Periodically clean the stanchion and seal with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
  • Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
  • If performance degrades, ensure the cable is clean and properly tensioned. For internal issues, consult a professional bike mechanic.
