The new Tellis Adjustable Lever offers an intelligent design for unparalleled adjustments and overall function while still retaining the softest actuations in the game. It was a collective effort, as our product team worked closely with engineering in Canada and Taiwan, key OE partners, and most importantly, our global test team after numerous samples and revisions.

Tellis Adjustable Lever - Riding w/ Kirt Voreis
I have a problem with my tellis, maybe i get a answer here. When its complete down, i can push it a little bit more. That shouldnt be normal.. but how can i fix it?
I love it after the 10 years suffering with hard fizik tundra 2😂
Does this work on the V1 Tellis as well?
No
I bought my son a YT Primus 24 with the Postman and he needs the 20mm shim, but I am having a hard time getting the shim fully inserted. I was able to install the 10mm for now, but I would still like to use the 20mm. Is there a technique to fully insert the shim?
You might have a shim in there already therefore the 20mm don’t fit
So sorry for the delay here. If you're still having issues with this it's best to email our support team at support@sdgcomponents.com.
Tightening the oil cartridge this way is good for a little while, but the proper way to tighten the cartridge is to follow the instructions at the 2 minute mark of this video. czcams.com/video/xzMsTkaYB34/video.html You'll need to hold the spinning cartridge rod with an inner tube and pliers so the rod doesn't keep spinning.
My bikes got a bit of left to right its brand new
Whats the acceptable play for a new dropper post? I have a Tranz-X. I rode with it once and it seems like it has play but i could just be ignorant about the normal play for these things.
How can we get them? Back ordered everywhere 😢
They come supplied with every Tellis V2 (both OEM on bikes and AM packaging) so you shouldn’t have to buy them aftermarket. If you have a Tellis V2 and they weren’t supplied then please message sales@sdgcomponents.com and we’ll see how best to sort you out.
@@SDGCOMPONENTScan you stack the shims? Can’t seem to find this information anywhere.
@@ADVRider78 so sorry for the delay on this, but it is not recommended to stack the shims as that can cause binding. It's recommended to only use one shim.
@@SDGCOMPONENTSThank you for the information!
Finally a great video on this! Thank you!
Just what I needed! That was pretty easy. Thanks!
New to this component very interesting none the less.
Great video. Thank you!
My post won't eject/rise even when i manually depress the actuator. Any ideas?
It sounds like your lock nut is likely loose. Best bet is to either use our troubleshooting guide on our website (sdgcomponents.com/pages/support) or email support@sdgcomponents.com.
Sheesh, this will take half a day of my time just for me to get frustrated then go buy a new one 😂
Great Video! Fixed it effortlessly
Thanks Chris for putting these videos together - your dropper post really is a simple & elegant design, easy to replace parts and do maintenance
finally copper keys... probably broke 4 of these plastic ones on V1 already
🤘🏻 SDG!
Be aware that he lightly tightened the lever to the cable to hold it in place but never followed up with a full tighten. before putting on the bar and finishing it off. So don't forget when you do it.
Thanks for the video and ease of service!
I want to swap my 150mm dropper for a 100mm. Do I need to replace the cable or can I just swap out the post?
If you take out all tension from the cable via the barrel adjuster at the lever, then this should allow the head of the cable to be removed from the actuator without replacing the cable. You'll likely need to remove the lever from the bar and guide the housing through the frame so that you can access the base of the actuator, but all this can be done without removing the cable.
A lot of people use some type of grease on the post to prevent it from moving, my bike is not carbon, do I need it ?
If you have an aluminum frame then just use a light film of grease on the post to keep it from binding in the frame. You can use the carbon paste/friction paste if you wish as it does help increase friction, but it certainly isn't necessary. Just follow the recommended torque specs on your frame or seat collar and you shouldn't have any slippage issues.
This seat post really is a good one, and I appreciate SDG making these servicing videos. I have that same exact spray bottle of Simple green
You really need three keyways not just two,and they need to be brass not some type of plastic.
Thanks for the comment. We stuck with two keyways as the stiction increases too much by adding a 3rd keyway. The PTFE keyways that we use allows for super tight tolerance and minimal play both out of the box and after use. Unlike with brass or copper keyways where you can't get as tight of tolerance and the play gets worse the more you use it.
Great video! Thanks!
Thanks for saving me servicing fees. Perfect! 🎉
Sweet proprietary plastic wrench that immediately strips out. Awesome.
Please tell your engineers "Thank you" for making an easily serviceable component. Completed this tonight. Super easy. Super satisfying. Cheers!
Just performed the maintenance shown in the video and my keyways look mint, no wear on the stantion, lower split bushing looks mint, upper split bushing looks mint and both oriented correctly… still getting the excess play. I suppose ill order a new lower split bushing? 😪
Fantastic. How does this not have more views. Love my seat dropper. Three years and I have done nothing to it. Now I can do this.
Most riders just prefer to take it to the shop and pay...
Mines extending slowly, its clean and only a few months old. Whete should I start ?
Sorry to hear about the issue. I would reference our troubleshoot guide first (cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0377/3117/files/Tellis_Troubleshoot_2_a2bd25dc-916d-4a55-8dc0-394d6e4d7634.pdf?v=1589410768) and if you're still having issues please reach out to support@sdgcomponents.com and they can see how best to sort you out.
@@SDGCOMPONENTS I'm on it, thanks for the quick reply 🚀
Thanks for posting this series!
Watching this made me feel like I’m on the phone with at&t about my internet. “Ok your gonna wanna go ahead and unplug the modem” 😩
Never stop being rad Kirt! Great edit.
So sick!
Song?
Anodizing job is not as good as your competitors. Do you recommend 8000 grit polish paper for smoother action?
Before inserting cable - He said turn 3 notches into extension and turned the barrel in a counter clockwise direction but the subtitles says clockwise. turn 3 notches starting from fully closed position???
You start from a fully closed position by turning it clockwise. Then from fully closed, you turn it out by 3 notches in a counter clockwise direction. Let us know if you still have any questions and sorry for the confusion.
Videos that tell me absolutely NOTHING about products are the best.
what is the maximum force to tighten the clamp
@@SDGCOMPONENTS ok thanks
terrible customer support .... bought one from Universal Cycles, there's not enough power in the lock mechanism to reset the thumb lever. total run around .... it's the bicycle industry, go figure ..... don't do it !!!
Sorry you’re having troubles. It’s not entirely clear from your comment what the issue was. Our post has proven itself to be the most reliable in it’s category and super simple to setup, so it should just be a simple setup fix to get it working. Please email us at support@sdgcomponents.com so we can figure out how to fix your setup and get it working like it should.
I was in the process of removing the cartridge following your steps, but the actuator came completely off the cartridge without the removal tool. My dropper has stopped working...it's stuck about halfway through it's travel. Cable and lever are fine, do you think the actuator coming off without the removal tool has something to do with it?
I have one from yt Industries and sdg. And i noticed that its leaking oil. I did not even knew that there was oil in it and i also don‘t know wich model it is
If it is the SDG one that is leaking oil you can contact support@sdgcomponents.com and we can determine how best to address any issues. If it is a YT Postman post you can contact YT and they will address.
@@SDGCOMPONENTS ok Thanks. I hope i don‘t have to wait that long.
Can I do an external installation of this on my norco storm 4? It doesn’t come with a seat dropper stock but I’d like to add one
Our Tellis post is for internal routing only so unfortunately it cannot be setup on frames with external routing.
@@SDGCOMPONENTS oh ok thanks for the response
you didn't even show us how to remove it from the bike!
Sorry about that Dana, but that's a good suggestion. We'll get a video of that on our to do list! Removing it is fairly straight forward. First you add slack to the cable by threading the barrel adjuster in. Then remove the lever from the bar and feed the housing through the frame so that the base of the post is exposed. From there you simply pop out the cable head and the post is free from the bike. Installing it is just the opposite of this process (pop cable head into actuator, feed post and housing into frame, attach lever to bar and then remove slack from cable by threading barrel adjuster out.
This seat is so dope going to hopefully order one this weekend !
dropper switches should not be on the handlebar
where should they be?
Why is it needed to remove the actuator if I just want to clean the shaft of the cartridge and the actuator is removed in the same direction as the cartridge?
