Product Information
Full details
The Wolf Tooth ReMote Dropper Lever is designed for serious mountain bikers looking to enhance their bike's cockpit ergonomics and improve dropper post responsiveness. By utilizing a high-leverage design and a sealed cartridge bearing, it provides a light, consistent feel for reliable actuation on technical trails. While it offers superior build quality and safety features, users must ensure they have a Shimano IS-II compatible brake mount to benefit from this integrated, low-profile configuration.

FAQs
Will this work with my SRAM brakes?
No, this version is specifically designed for Shimano IS-II mounting systems.
Can I use this with any dropper post?
Yes, it is compatible with all cable-actuated dropper posts.
What should I do if the breakaway axle snaps?
The breakaway axle is a replaceable part. You can purchase a replacement axle to restore the lever to full functionality.
Do I need tools to adjust the cable tension?
No, the integrated barrel adjuster allows for tool-free, on-the-fly tension adjustments.
How often should I service the bearing?
The bearing is sealed and requires very little maintenance. Simply wipe it clean during your regular bike wash.
Troubleshooting
Dropper post is slow to return or won't activate
Check the barrel adjuster to ensure there is enough cable tension. If cable is tight, verify that the dropper post itself is properly lubricated.
Lever feels loose or sloppy
Check the cable tension; it is likely too loose. Use the barrel adjuster to increase tension until the slack is removed.
Cable is fraying at the clamp
The cable-kind clamp is designed to protect wires, but ensure it is not being tightened with excessive force. Replace the cable and ensure it is seated correctly in the groove.

Setup Steps:
