That’s some steampunk right there.

disagree!

Ha, agree to disagree. If I had money I would buy. Somewhere I read EXT have several prototypes with different positions to see which is best to allow it to fit the most frames.

Keen to see how it performs even though I prefer coil.

Even more so for their USD fork that's in the works but a while off.

Shame the dials look like hanging balls.

If 100% of people can’t see the fancy adjustments that 3% of us understand how to use, they’re 86% pointless.

Looks nice but have they broadened the tiny adjustment range? I prefer the Ohlins philosophy of fewer clicks of adjustment and a broad adjustment range.

Wireless X Fusion dropper. Due late 22 so next year sometime. Big stack at the top of the post but interesting.

There’s a lot to like about it. That stack height is more than ‘interesting’ though. For wee lads like me who want to slam a dropper to get decent lift length, it’s a bit limiting.

Magura is the slimmest although they had a stupid remote. Was hoping to see a V3 of that post with a proper remote but crickets. SRAM did their best to put everything as high as possible but X Fusion is just below the clamp, rear bolt access looks tricky. Hopefully we start seeing more, of all places to go wireless the dropper makes most sense to me.

I think it’s the least, personally…out of gears and droppers. Cables are never an issue on my droppers. I even usually recycle gear inner/outer because they aren’t as fussy.
Gears are more finicky, exposed to weather, and prone to issues with cables.
I’ll likely be wireless shifting before dropping.

Dunno, was in one of the Sea Otter "pit bits" on Vital. Looks like an updated SuperDeluxe at a guess.

...and the Pinkbike video where they talk about the different travel WeAreOne suspension links shows the coil version of the new shock stickered as a SuperDeluxe.

I am still on a external routed dropper which is fussy to cable tension. See how these internal routed posts go if I ever get a new bike.

Ah, ok. I run external on a couple of older bikes still, but no issues. The Alpine is my winter bike, it’s external, and has been faultless. What brand? I only run Levs externally.

LEV as well. Runs well most of the time just every now and then it goes out whack and much faffing with cable tension to get sorted.

Changed the cable recently?
Maybe it’s time for a service, or at least a blob of slicko under the collar?

Just freshly serviced and new inner cable on post, external as well. Running well…for now!!

Outer could be flogged. No sharp bends in the routing? Assuming you mean a proper service, other that that, I’m out of ideas.

New bike day?

Ah crap. That should have been first suggestion.

Can relate. The ones I had / have occasionally fix themselves too which is nice just by randomly prodding things adjusting the cable.
