The maximum insertion length for the 200mm travel model is 327mm.
How does the Quick Connect mechanism simplify installation?
The Quick Connect mechanism allows for tool-free disconnection and connection of the cable at the post, making initial setup and any future cable maintenance much faster and easier.
Troubleshooting
Dropper post won't go down or up
Check cable tension and ensure the cable is not binding in the housing or frame. Verify the remote is functioning correctly.
Post feels sticky or slow
Clean the stanchion tube and lower seal. Check for any debris or dirt. Ensure the cable is properly lubricated.
Post has excessive side-to-side play
Ensure the seatpost clamp is tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque. Check if the Igus LL-glide bearings or keys are damaged (contact support if so).
Post doesn't return to full height
Verify cable tension. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the post from extending fully. The hydraulic cartridge may need servicing if the issue persists.
