OPERATING THE DROPPER POST
MAINTENANCE
Routine maintenance of the seatpost will provide years of
trouble-free performance. Before and after every ride the
stanchion (shiny shaft) of the dropper post should be cleaned of
any dirt and debris. Ensure that nothing gets in the way of the
dropper post during operation, if the stanchion is scratched or
damaged the dropper post function could be affected.
Servicing: We recommend servicing the post after 6 months of
regular use or 1 year of mild use. If you see any signs of stanchion
scratching or feel any rough movement then it may be time for a
service. Please use the 6 months as a rough guide, if you ride in
severe conditions or ride very regularly then servicing may need
to be more frequent
Service kits are available on our website. Dropper servicing
should only be undertaken by skilled mechanics.
If the frame seat tube diameter and dropper post diameter are
mismatched it could lead to post slippage or failure which could cause
personal injury or death.
The Saddle rises swiftly when the lever is pushed. Always ensure nothing is
in the way of the saddle during the operation of the post as this could
cause injury.
Keep away from mud and water, when storing for long period ensure the
dropper post is kept upright.
Do not attempt to disassemble the dropper post in any way. Some
mechanisms are under pressure and could cause sever personal injury if
tampered with.
Do not loosen the top cap of the post. Ensure that is part stays tight at all
times.
Do not exceed torque recommendations on any bolts, this could damage
your seatpost.
If you are not an experienced bike mechanic then please take your
seatpost to your local bike store for installation.
INSTALLATION (CONTINUED)
Step 4 . Loosen the pinch bolt on the lever. Insert the inner cable
through the lever and push the outer cable end in to the
tensioner. Tighten down the pinch bolt to clamp the cable,
ensure that you still have 12-13mm gap on the opposite end of
the cable. Cut the inner cable. Install and crimp the cable end
ferule onto the end of the inner cable.
Step 5. Attach the cable end nut to the dropper post by sliding it
in to the allocated slot on the dropper post. For internal dropper
posts the cable outer simply fits in to the recess (see diagram).
Step 6. Insert the dropper in to the frame while pulling the outer
cable through the frame as you lower the post to the right
position.
Step 7. Attach the remote lever to the handlebar, position this
close enough to the handlebar grip that the riders thumb can
press the lever. Once the lever is attached securely the cable
tension must be adjusted. This can be done by using barrel
adjuster. The cable should have 1-2mm of play and should not be
under tension. If tension is too high the dropper post may
actuate unintentionally.
The Contour post is designed to allow the rider to adjust the
saddle height on the fly by simply pressing the remote lever.
To lower the seatpost- Sit on the saddle. Push and hold the
remote lever in the down position. The saddle should now drop
in to a lower position. Release the lever when the desired height
is found. The saddle will now stay in this position
To raise the seatpost- Stand up on the pedals or dismount the
bike. Push and hold the remote lever in the down position. The
saddle should rise up and stop rising when in its highest position.
Now release the lever.
Step 8. Install the saddle. Loosen both clamp bolts until the gap
between the plates becomes big enough to insert the saddle
rails. Position the saddle correctly in the clamp and tighten the
bolt, adjust the bolts independently to level the saddle.
Do not ride the bike aggressively until you are sure that the
dropper post has been properly installed and all bolts are
securely fastened on the saddle clamp and the seatpost clamp.
