This is so clear!!!
You always have the best instructional videos. But I thought this wasn't going to work, as I have a cheaper dropper post that came with my bike. HOWEVER !!! .....
Your "How to Install A Dropper Post" was wonderful. Clear explanation, perfect video work, and you walked us all the way through.
Thank you so much SickBiker. :)

[@hornet224]

This is by far the best installation video for the dropper post, Thank you,

[@drmoynihan]

I used this video last night to help me repair my KS Dropper.
Thank you very much for all your help.

[@georgemallory797]

This has helped me understand the logic better than anything else I have watched. Many thanks for your ability and talent and clarity.

[@shamilmukhtarov6149]

Great video. Great explanation. I’ve ordered this Brand-X Ascend 2 last day from CRC. Can’t wait to try how it works. Thanks for video.

[@Habaneroranger]

Best explanation I’ve seen especially on how to measure which is critical. Keep up the good work!

[@man4evil]

thank you for such detailed manual.

[@MaidenoftheShadows]

Wonderfully clear explanation, and is much appreciated.

[@th_js]

[@accestos]

[@howardmarx7346]

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Took me years to decide to get a dropper. Ever since then I can't imagine trail riding without one.

[@josemarihernan9551]

Hi I have a merida Limited 29er its an hardtail, do you think that dropper post will fit on my bike? I hope you make a video on how to route the cable to the setpost, its a nice video and very informative, I’m planning to change my setpost to dropper set post.
Thank you.

[@KorolevDm]

I have a Merida too, can you recommend where to buy the same stub in the frame, under the wire of a dropper?

[@plussizeriderlifeshardbike9318]

What seat post drop are you using cause I'd like to get that one

[@oscars7948]

He must have been a teacher in a previous life. He explains things so well

[@tahntalus]

If my seat post slips a little bit can I readjust my saddle height using my seat post clamp? My bike has a race face aeffect dropper post.

[@johnlechner2759]

If my new post is 31.6 and the old one is 31.4 can I lightly sand the new post to get it to fit correctly?

[@juanboca3505]

Hello
Can you help me?
This seatpost where has the pressure valve?
Thank you

[@nikhilneumann5411]

How do you add air in to that dropper post I have the same one but it does not have enough air

[@rockbore]

Top notch

[@qsb7141]

Not related to this video but... could you please help me compare 2018 canyon endurace al 7.0 disc and 2018 bmc roadmachine 03 with shimano 105?... thank you

[@billydc2]

How did you route out on the frame where the cable feeds onto the guide??

[@MrMrWattz]

That’s the tricky part! Also the part nobody shows 😅

[@roncooke2188]

That’s it!

[@VanDungLe2510]

Do you know what is the name brand of the dropper post. Because i don't think Merida actually make one. And also the lever is really familiar.

[@nostaku]

It's apparently a TranzX one, according to the reply Derek Ulloa got

[@OhZesta]

My outer cable is damaged a lil bit... Does this harm the dropper post functionalities.?

[@th_js]

Not if it isn't too damaged

[@DMONEY88]

That OEM Merida dropper post is the same thing as a brand x dropper from chain reaction. Interesting.

[@KG-jr8lc]

Derek Ulloa its a tranzx dropper originally, many Brands use them.

[@DMONEY88]

Kevin G Ahh got ya

[@woduk]

Interesting the brand x one gets good reviews on crc, looking at fitting one on my nukeproof mega.

[@DMONEY88]

woduk wait for it to go on sale, it's a great dropper! I got mine for $108 USD shipped around Christmas time

[@kobortamas7163]

Do you recommend a dropper post on a 700$ sport mtb?

[@th_js]

Yes.
