Hi there..what’s the option for cabling/installing when the dropper is an internally connected? Or is it simply not possible? I’ve racked my brains for a while..and can’t see a option for this, without some sort of method to ‘take up the cable slack’ once the dropper is installed into the seat tube. Advice welcome :)
The dropper being internally or externally routed does not affect how the dropper remote works. Internal droppers have a fixed cable housing stop -- the cable housing does not move at all as the post goes up and down.
@@microSHIFTTECH thanks for replying…but it’s not the housing I’m concerned about..it’s the cable. The Sword lever end requires the barrel end of the gear cable. The other end requires most commonly a barrel (or grub screw type) end, to connect with the dropper mechanism. My main issue with using internal droppers, is the ability to connect the cable at the dropper end, when the dropper is out of the seat tube. Essentially (unless you can highlight a technique 😉) you need a cable that’s ‘too long’ to install an internal dropper when the cable’s barrel is situated at the lever end. Is this coming across ok? 🙂
Can I use use Sword shifter on an Advent X derailleur?
Yes! The only thing you'll be missing is a barrel adjuster, so it makes sense to add an inline adjuster in your housing.
What about droppers like PNW that have the cable stop at the seatpost and the cut end at the lever?
You can get a cylindrical cable clamp like the one KS makes to put at the seatpost side.
@@microSHIFTTECH Which PNW external routed Droppers are compatible?
@@microSHIFTTECHtrying to install on brand x/trans x dropper and the cable collar is too large. Can you please specify which cable crimp was used in this install? This is the last piece to my puzzle and I want the dropper to function with my sword levers
Has anyone tried this?
@@JustManny1 yea I was able to get it done. I used the ks cable collar but as I mentioned up above it was too large to fit in the little pocket on the brand x dropper. I used a bench grinder to shave it way down and it is now working. Fiddly to install but a little patience and it's in there and functioning fine.
When will this groupset be available?
Sometime this fall. Looking like maybe October or November.
I can’t wait. I’ll be swapping out the advent stuff to my 90s bike and this is going on my gravel mullet bike :) can’t wait
I wonder why Sensah and Ltwoo are so ahead of Microshift, because they entered the market earlier and have been installed on European branded budget models for a long time, but when others are already making hydraulic and even electronic shifters, Microshift has just learned to hide the shift cable? When can we expect the release of hydraulic shifters?
When the patents expire.
This is the answer. Making hydraulic without violating patents is tough. There may be some smaller brands that don't care or don't know that those other products use patents from other companies, but that's not us.
@@microSHIFTTECH i absolutely love my sword setup on my drop bar mountain bike. I like it so much that I sold my grail and road bike and just ride the drop bar mountain bike and an e bike which I also installed a Microshift sword setup on.
