Thanks for buying the NIVO 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
directly exposed to dirt. These facts make a periodic maintenance of the post
necessary. During the design process, we put a big priority towards minimum
maintenance, maximum durability and easy servicing. As a result, you can do all
servicing with a standard mini tool.
Please read the manual carefully before installing your NIVO dropper post at
your bike.
