V3 Dropper Travel Adjustment Instructions

 

Things You Will Need

• 10 Travel pins (included with dropper)
• Slickoleum (included with dropper)
• Strap wrench (for collar if beyond hand tight)
• Lint free cloth

Assembly time, approximately 10 minutes. Difficulty: Easy.

Drop tuning can be done on-bike,  almost tool free and without removing the saddle or touching a shock pump.  Lowering the post travel also increases bushing overlap and guide pin length,  which is great for heavier riders.

240mm Dropper Post - adjustable down to 220mm

210mm Dropper Post - adjustable down to 190mm

180mm Dropper Post - adjustable down to 160mm

150mm Dropper Post - adjustable down to 130mm

120mm Dropper Post - adjustable down to 100mm

90mm Dropper Post   - adjustable down to 70mm

 

STEP 1: COMPRESS DROPPER

Press the remote lever and compress the dropper to roughly mid travel.

 

STEP 2: MID CAP ASSEMBLY

Unscrew the mid cap assembly (8,9) by hand or with your strap wrench if necessary.  Slide it up towards the seatpost head.  

 

Press the remote lever to extend the post & to pop the upper bushing (10) out of the lower post.  Then slide the bushing up towards the seatpost head.

 

 

 

STEP 3: INSTALL TRAVEL SHIM PINS

Once the mid cap assembly (8,9) & upper bushing (10) are out of the way you should have clear access to the 5 travel adjustment channels. 

 

 

For 10mm travel reduction:  Install the first 5 10mm travel pins (18) by sliding 1 pin per slot into the guide slots of the upper tube (1). 

For 20mm travel reduction:  Once the first 5 10mm travel pins are in place,  using your finger,  gently push each travel pin down the guide slot until you can fit the next 5 10mm travel pins.

 

STEP 4: COMPRESS DROPPER

Once the travel pins (18) are in their respective guide slots,  push the remote lever and slowly drop the post to mid travel.  This action should be smooth.  If it requires force or feels rough, stop and double check the travel pins are seated correctly before proceeding.

 

STEP 5: GREASE & INSTALL UPPER BUSHING

Grease the upper bushing (10),  inside and out,  with your light suspension grease.  You can also apply some grease to the upper tube (1) just above the lower tube (13).  Slide the upper bushing back over the upper tube.  You can now seat the upper bushing into the lower tube by pushing down on it with your thumb and index finger.  It should look like the photo below.

 

 

 

STEP 6 : TIGHTEN MIDCAP ASSEMBLY

NOTE:  When the mid cap assembly is unthreaded from the lower tube,  the dropper can extend further than the functional max length.  Make sure to compress the dropper to mid travel before attempting to thread the mid cap assembly back onto the lower tube. 

With the upper bushing (10) fully seated in the lower tube (13),  you can now slide the mid cap assembly (8,9) down and thread it to the lower tube by hand.  Once it is hand tight it is recommended you snug it up with a strap wrench.

 

 

STEP 7: FUNCTION CHECK

Cycle the post a couple times to confirm smooth action.  If excess grease builds up on the dust wiper (9),  wipe it away with your cloth.  If there is more grease than necessary,  it will weep out through the dust wiper after some cycling.  This is normal.  If you do notice any excess grease on the dust wiper be sure to wipe it away so it doesn't attract unwanted grit.  This weeping of excess grease should only last a ride or two.

 

Congratulations,  you have now successfully completed the V3 dropper travel adjustment service.

NOW GO RIDE!
