This is my first DIY RUclips upload so take it easy on me! -Caleb
This helped a lot i almost returned my dropper post for my stance
OMG. Worked like a charm! I was about to take out the bottom bracket, then ran across your video and tried it. Thank you!
Sweet!! 🤙🏼
Amazing. Thank you. Never would've thought to put a cable end cap on. Like magic.
Glad it helped.
Had trouble with this but it's really easy to remove the non-drive side crank with an 8mm hex wrench. Once that's off you can just pull out the drive side crank and spindle and guide the cable through the bottom bracket area yourself.
This worked when nothing else did on my trance. Thanks!
Heck yeah! 🤙🏼
Thanks a millions I watched your video, and in less than 5 min that was done! 👍👍
Glad it helped!
AWESOME! Just did it exactly as you described on my Giant Anthem Pro 2, 2021 and it worked. Just a bit of patience and perseverance keep wiggling that cable and before you know it AHA it pops its head out..:)
Nice!
Had a dropper post added to my 2021 Stance 27.5. Worth every penny. Note I want to add one to my 2021 Talon 2.
Exactly what I needed! Greatly appreciated!
Glad I could help! 🤙🏼
worked sooo good!!!!! muchas gracias!
Cheers, just did it on my stance 2020. Thanks a lot!
Ahh, it worked!
2021 Stance 29 2!
Thanks and God bless!
I have that same bike too. Did you buy a new frame grommet or did you drill a hole through the stock rubber one?
@@ardpatron7430 just drilled a hole. But maybe a spiked object might be better for a cleaner "look".
Just tried this on my 2021 Stance 29 2 - XL with a CONTACT SWITCH SL 170 mm. Tried for a while and just couldn't get it to work.
I think I got it to go in front of the crank bottom bracket, but it just wouldn't make the bend going up into the down tube. Tried for a while just like the video. The end cap was getting snagged on something when trying to pulse it a bit. Ended up losing both end caps in the frame. Couldn't hear them jiggling no matter how much I bounced the bike around. They may have gotten stuck in the crank grease. I guess something was slightly different about my frame or dropper cable that wouldn't allow it to make the bend with this method. Ended up tying a steel nut to a string and easily guided it through with a 1" X .5" neodymium magnet. Then attached the string to the cable with packing tape and it pulled right through. Super easy.
Glad you got it figured out.
You sir are a lifesaver!!!
I am waiting for my Giant Stance 2 29er 2021 to be delivered due next month. I think i can do it, since i am an electrician... We use to fish a tie wires at the oposite end at the tip with a U shape, feed inside the #1tie wire of one hole of the conduit, the opposite conduit hole same process with tie wire #2, wires in U shape so as to have the smoothess slide specialy at a junction or L shape conduit... After the two opposite tie wires meet inside the conduit overlapping one another (you can actually feel the two wires of small vibration) , then make a twist or turn the tie wires at outside as fast as you can, clockwise and the other counterclockwise of tie wires, the 2 U shaped will entangle inside at a junction then you can pull tie wire#1 the other end the other tie wire #2 you feed it inside, from there, exposing to one tie wire, tie it to cable dropper post in a manner that will not injure and taped it in order to have smoothness when you will do the same process by this time you pull the tie wire the other cable dropper post you feed it to the hole. I hope my english is comprehensible. Hehehe. Kinda old school but effective.

When you get the bike without the dropper post, it will not have a cable already ran through the frame. You will not have a “fish” to tie onto. Use this hack to run the cable and you’ll be golden! 🤙🏼
Thank u so much I needed this almost took off my bottom braket
Freakin Awesome! Im about to do this on my 2021 Stance. This video is gold!
Glad the video is gonna help! 🤙🏼
Great video. I have the 2020 stance 2 and needed this to know how to do it myself.
Glad it helped!
I tried this on mine and struggled with it for over an hour, ended up using the vacuum and string method
awesome
thank you so much!! the string method is useless for this frame
Hi Caleb I just bought a Giant Stance at Hornet Sports but Im still waiting for it to arrive and plans to install a dropper post on it your video will help me do it thanks
Big up thanks bud
No problem! Glad it worked for ya!
Great video thanks for the help.
No problem! Glad I could help!
Thanks a lot Exactly what I needed!
Sweet!
Does the same apply for the rear break and gears? I have the same bike and hoping to get it powder coated but have been questioning the dis // re - assembly of the bike itself. Appreciate the help 🙏🙏
Honestly not sure. It would probably be a lot more trial and error. I would suggest a cheap cable routing tool off of Amazon.
Did you need do drill? Because i thought there was something in there like a obstacle
No do not drill on your frame. There is a rubber plug that will come out of your frame where the dropper cable will run. You can either buy a plug with a hole already in it or remove the one that came on the bike and drill a hole in it. Please, DO NOT drill the plug with it on the bike.
Thanks for sharing need to do this on 2021 Stance medium. Not sure if I can fit 150mm travel though.
It would fit for sure but it may not slide all the way down into the seat tube like the one in the video.
Hey nice video, I have a Giant Stance 2 2021 by myself and I want to upgrade it with a Dropper and want all cables inside the frame. Can I do this like in the Video down on the Pedals?
Absolutely, just have something to hold the bike up.
Lifesaver ty so mutch
Heck yeah!
Where did you get the rubber frame grommet for the cable?
He drilled a small hole in the original rubber 😎
@@mikeogilvie6949 thanks
How much mm is the length of the dropper? I can't decide what to buy.. I am considering 30.9, 150 drop, max length of 480mm is that ok?
Depends on your frame size but 150’s usually work on most frame sizes.
@@calebjones032 It's the giant stance 2020 frame
I have a stance 1 2021 medium size and I cannot figure out what size post I need I know it’s 30.9 but the travel is what I can’t tell, is the post that goes into the bike for say the 100 MM shorter than they 150? I would assume yes…
That's all going to depend on your inseam, post height, and how much drop you want. Most bike companies ship their size mediums with a 150MM dropper. It covers a lot of riders fit preferences.
I tried this for over an hour. I could feel the wire drop and start to go down, but then it would hit resistance. I ended up losing BOTH plastic cable caps down in the frame. I can't even hear them rattling around so I'm afraid there's somehow stuck at the elbow. Well shit. Any recommendations?
Pull the seat out and turn the bike upside down. May take a little wiggling of the bike(not yourself) but they will come out.
Same thing happened to me. I turned the bike over and pounded on it a while until it came out.
When I reach the bottom of the post I keep hearing the clicking noise and the cable doesn’t go any further, is that good?
Sorry for the late reply, hopefully you’ve got it by now. If not, just keep trying to spin the cable as you pick it up and push it down and you will feel it slide past the bottom bracket.
Is the cable above or below the bottom bracket?
It is going above the BB.
Thx man
No problem! Just glad this video helped!
What size of dropper that you put on your bike? The diameter,lenght ang the travel?
The dropper post travel is 150mm and the seat tube diameter is 30.9. I do not have the overall length of the post. The bike was a size XL so the seat tube had plenty of room.
so its the cable touch the bottom bracket in bottom tube ? or not ?
It will bump into it but if you move it around like shown in the video, you will eventually feel it slide past the BB. Hopefully this help!
Is it above or below the bottom bracket?
How long should the cable be? I cut my cable fairly short to begin with, but i'm still growing and as I get taller I keep having to raise the dropper which in turn makes the cable shorter, and now I can't quite turn the handlebars 90° because the cable is too short. I can obviously still turn the handlebars fine when biking, but do you think I should bother getting a new cable, or just stick with it? Thanks
There isn't a set length, it depends on your frame size and saddle height as to how long it should be. You have a couple options here. 1. You can leave the cable long enough so as you grow, you can make adjustments without having to replace the cable all the time. Some of the slack can be pushed into the frame so that it is not hanging out super long. Just make sure that its not hanging out to much or it will catch on things in the trail which can be dangerous. 2. Cut the cable to the proper length and just replace the cable each time you make an adjustment. Personally I would leave it a tad long and just stuff as much excess in the frame as I could to allow for adjustments down the road.
@@calebjones032 I'm 6 ft, so I'm probably not going to grow much more, but thanks for the reply! I'll probably leave I the way that it is now, but I'll put in a new cable I I have to
Didn't work for me and I lost a cap.
