Description

Want the longest travel dropper that you can get? 150mm is too small for your liking, but 170mm won't fit? These shims can be installed in your V1 OneUp Dropper Post to adjust the amount of drop.

It can all be done with the post on the bike, without tools, and without removing your saddle. Genius!

170mm posts can go all the way to 120mm, and 150mm's can be slammed down to 100mm.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. With no shim installed, lower your fully extended post into your frame as far as possible. If the post bottoms out inside the frame before the post collar hits the seat clamp, wrap tape around the lower tube just above the seat clamp to mark the height.

2. Unscrew the post collar by hand and slide it up towards the seatpost head. Then gently press the remote lever to pop the upper bushing (White part) out of the lower post. Then slide this bushing up towards the seatpost head

3. Drop your saddle to a mid-stroke position at least 75mm below full extension. Install the full 50mm shim by sliding it into the lower tube below the upper bushing, legs down. The middle leg should be lined up with the laser markings on the back of the post. Each leg will fit into a groove inside the lower post. Gently wiggle the shim until it engages each groove and then slide it fully in.

4. Lower the upper bushing and ensure you can push it fully into the lower tube by hand (if you can't you may need to drop the seat a bit more). Reinstall the seat collar by hand. Extend the post fully. Your post is now 50mm shorter.

5. Raise your entire post to a comfortable ride/climbing height and pedal around in your riding shoes/kit to make sure it is correct. There will now be space between your seat clamp and post collar. This is the length you will cut off the shim to maximize your drop height. Measure this with a ruler, or if you have an extra shim you can mark directly on the second shim.

6. Unscrew the collar and gently extend the post to raise the bushing and remove the shim. Trim each leg of the shim by the amount identified above. i.e. If there is 23mm between the post collar/tape and the seat clamp, cut 23mm off the shim legs. Make sure you cut each leg to exactly the same length.

7. Drop the seat to a mid-height position at least 75mm below full extension. Reinstall the trimmed shim below the bushing. The shorter shim will be slightly more difficult to install. Use the upper bushing to help push the shim down and if needed use a plastic zip tie to realign the shim inside the lower tube between attempts to fully install it. Make sure the shim and bushing can be fully installed by hand before lowering the seat post collar.

8. Reinstall the seat post collar and tighten by hand. Using the remote fully extend your post. Then lower the extended post into the frame until the post collar or tape touch the seat clamp.

Congratulations, you now have the longest dropper post that will fit on your bike!

Compatible with V1 posts only!

    Just what I needed.

    This damn things should come with your dropper by default. I been riding for awhile now and my post if a tad too tall. With this I can easily shorten it by 10mm which is not perfect for my seat high. I almost resort to saw luckily I found out about this hack. It take a couple minutes to install dead simple. My dropper is a bollinger I think, the one that come standard with my merida one-twenty 600 2021.

    Simple and effective

    Works perfectly, and pretty easy to install too, although you might have to fish around a bit to find the grooves. Installed on a Brand-X Ascend XL dropper, which has the same internals as the OneUp V1 posts.

    (Unverified review because mtbdirect were out of stock so I had to buy elsewhere)

    Measure your frames seatpost insertion depth before you buy.

    Second Oneup post, this time for my wife inorder to provide the maximum drop possible.

    Oneup clearly document the maximum insertion length for their different posts. It is important that you check your seat tube insertion length to make sure that it would fit as this is frequently limited by the upper suspension linkage or bends in the seat tube. It is likely that you are considering using the maximum insertion if you are purchasing above item. No use blaming the post as frame manufacturers rarely quote the maximum seatube insertion length which are important if you want to place dropper posts in xs and s frames.

    oneup dropper

    the dropper seams to work fine. is smooth etc

    the wife needed a shorter dropper as the 125mm reverb that came standard on her size small yt jeffsy was just too long for her as she is just 5ft tall

    liked the look of the oneup as thought would get as much travel as possible with it slammed in the seat post tube for a good price

    the problem being that it is too long to slam all the way down in the seat post tube

    is significantly longer that the 125mm reverb that came out. have got it as far down as i can, adjusted it etc and now get 105mm travel for her.

    be aware that if your bike has a seat tube with a bend in it. or a suspension link etc through it. may not do what you want it to do. eg my medium giant trance, small yt capra. seams is ok on my small gt sensor.
