Product Information
Full details
The Crank Brothers Highline Remote is designed for mountain bikers who demand precise cockpit ergonomics and reliable performance from their cable-actuated dropper post. Its standout feature is the unique spherical adjustment system that allows for near-infinite positioning, ensuring the lever sits exactly where it feels most natural for your thumb. While it offers industry-leading adjustability, users should note it is strictly compatible with standard 22.2mm handlebars, requiring a measurement check before purchase.

FAQs
Will this work with my electronic dropper post?
No, this remote is designed specifically for cable-actuated mechanical dropper posts.
Can I mount this on my left side if I use a 1x drivetrain?
Yes, the universal mounting system allows you to place the remote on either the top or bottom, and on either the left or right side of the handlebars.
Is this remote compatible with 31.8mm or 35mm handlebars?
The clamp is designed for the standard 22.2mm diameter where the controls are mounted. It will fit on the 22.2mm section of those handlebars.
Does the remote include the cable and housing?
Typically, you should use the cable and housing provided with your specific dropper post, as length requirements vary by frame size.
How often do I need to service the remote?
The remote is low-maintenance; simply check for cable wear or fraying and ensure the pivot hinge remains free of dirt buildup.
Troubleshooting
Remote lever feels loose or has excessive play
Adjust the barrel adjuster on the remote to increase cable tension until the slack is removed.
Remote slips on the handlebar during use
Ensure the handlebar surface is clean and free of grease, then tighten the single-bolt hinge to the recommended torque specification.
Dropper post does not actuate when pressed
Check if the cable is properly seated in the remote anchor and verify that the cable tension is sufficient to engage the post mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the Highline Remote, open the single-bolt hinge and place it onto your 22.2mm handlebar. Before fully tightening the bolt, position the remote near your thumb to test the reach. Use the spherical adjustment to tilt the lever toward or away from you until it meets your preference, then tighten the bolt to secure both the position and the hinge.
Ensure your dropper cable is tensioned correctly through the remote’s barrel adjuster to remove any slack. For maintenance, keep the cable clean and lightly lubricated, and periodically check the hinge bolt torque to ensure the remote does not shift under heavy pressure.
