Thanks for buying the moveLOC
dropper post.
You have purchased a product, which is designed, manufactured, assembled and
tested in Germany.
A dropper post is a highly stressed moving part on a mountain bike, which is direct
exposed to dirt. These facts make periodic maintenance for the post necessary.
During the design process, we had a big priority regarding minimum maintenance,
durability and easy servicing. As a result of this, you can do all servicing with a
standard mini tool.
Please read the manual carefully, before installing your moveLOC dropper post at your
bike..
Add. information you can nd on our website
http://vecnum.com/en/products/moveloc/servicefaq/
There will be always the latest version of the manual online.
For a quick an easy installation you will also nd a video tutorial on this website.

Intended use:
The moveLOC dropper post is designed for mountain bikes and their purposes.

The moveLOC dropper post can handle a max. rider weight of 120 kg.
Installation dimensions:
You can easily nd the suitable length for your moveLOC dropper post by our online
CONFIGURATOR:
http://vecnum.com/en/products/moveloc/congurator
The moveLOC dropper post is only manufactured with diameter 30,9 mm. To adapt the
post to several seat tube diameters, we offer different shims in our online shop. This
standard diameter saves weight and assures a maximum of flexibility using other seat
tube diameters in the future.

For all installation and maintenance
on the dropper post:
Push Fail-Safe button
and completely
extend dropper post
Operation instructions:
Please make sure, that you are fully familiar with the function of the moveLOC dropper
post before your rst ride. Due to an operating error you can loose control of your bike,
which can occur an fatal accident.
After a short period of familiarisation, you will shift your moveLOC dropper post
intuitively to the individual height positions. Please exercise the handling at an easy
trail. The moveLOC can be indexed at 4 different height positions, which enables a fast
and repeatable height adjustment.
Don't lower your dropper post completely when using a cable lift (max.
position 3), because the T - bar can damage the shaft sealing unit.
For cleaning the bike you must completely lower the dropper post.
Installation:

5
Position 1 :
pedalling ( maximum position = post completely extended)
The maximum positions should be adjusted in a way, that allows an
ergonomic position for pedalling uphill
Position 2 :
trail ( 40mm lowered referred to maximum position)
This Position is ideal for riding easy trail incl. pedalling section. With 40mm
lowering you will have signicant more ability to move with the bike.
Moreover this, you have the possibility for pedalling on saddle with a
reasonable effectiveness for climbing technical uphills.
Position 3:
Downhill (100 or 90 mm lowered referred to max. Position)
This position is intended for fast downhill sections. With the
feedback of the saddle you can guide your bike precisely.
Position 4:
technical downhill (saddle maximum lowered)
Maximal freedom for movement on the bike for steep
sections, trial skills etc.

If you use a extreme tilting or a carbon saddle with high oval shaped rails, it
may happen, that the standard M6x30m Titanium bolts do not require the

If your frame offers some cable holders in or on top or down tube, you can use the
recommended routing line for the cable
If there is no cable routing for dropper posts with an external actuation
available, you can use our provided universal cable holder pads for
installation
We recommend the routing on the top tube ( ) our on the down tube
( )
If the standard bowden cable length is not long enough, you can order cable and
housing in our online shop by the meter
