Great explanation. What differentiates this video with the others is that you actually start while the dropper is on the bike and then proceed to show an easy way of removing it. I was having a hard time thinking of how I would remove my dropper but now I know how. Thanks
Super helpful! Thank you. Followed this start to finish. Loosening the cable without removing was a great tip to get it off the bike. Otherwise, just the right amount of thorough for me. Got my first ever home dropper service done! Cheers.
I'm so glad it worked out for you. A buddy convinced me to make these videos as its getting harder to find time to help others with their bikes. I'm always worried when I post them that they won't be clear enough to follow especially with all my word fumbling. Its like there's a major disconnect between my brain and my mouth when I make these videos. Probably should get that checked, but then again, maybe flying into a tree head first again might fix it next time! 😁 let me know if there is any other service you would like to see and I'll try to make it happen. Enjoy your fresh post!
One of the best designed and best looking droppers on the market. Very easy to service and rebuild too! Great video. It’s a 2mm Allen for the removal of the actuator.
That's right. you can leave the air in the dropper for this service. You can add or remove air for dropper response preferences at anytime, though you have to remove the seat to do so, which is a bit of a pita with most droppers. have fun with the service, and have more fun with the bike with a fresh dropper. though subtle, I'm sure you'll feel the difference. If you have any other questions let me know.
WOW! I totally forgot to mention the PSI. Sorry about that. 250 to 300 PSI max ( make sure the post is fully extended when filling it) depending on how fast you would like it to return. personally I like a quick return so I fill it to 300. I also find when I fill it more it makes it easier to drop to different heights more precisely 👍
I have the 210 dropper. After I secure the green actuator into the tube, the plastic washer won't allow me to fit the collar, there is over 1/4 inch gap between the collar and the threads in the tube, and about 1/2 inch left to tighten, which is impossible without crushing the plastic spacer. There must be a trick. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
I figured it out; I was able to move the dropper into itself before reassembly. At full extension, there is no way to reassemble. Thanks for the video!
@@jhonnysanchez5390 Hello- hope you figured it out, but if I recall, I slightly depressed the dropper into itself prior to reinstallation, which allowed everything to fit together. At full extension, this is impossible.
if you have a bike rack try clamping the tube to it tightly. Then use the wrench to unscrew the actuator. lefty loosey when looking that the actuator from the bottom of the dropper. it shouldn't take to much force but maybe they over tightened it at the factory. hopefully they didn't stretch the threads. Let me know how it goes
@@zoubtube Thanks. I had to use a bike stand and lock it down before torquing loose the actuator. Turns out mine was screwed on real tight from factory. It is all scratched up but functionally ok. OneUp sent me a new actuator.
If anyone is stuck here, I used a larger adjustable wrench to to lock onto the seatpost head, to get a somewhat flat surface and used another wrench on the green actuator. It came loose with a nice *crack*.
