- Time for the Marlin to get the best upgrade a MTB can get in my opinion.
This guide goes from unboxing to finished install, step by step.
Enjoy,
Ride on,
The OA.
Great video but in order to avoid the 3 hours it took you, follow the handy tip in the manual and put the inner cable into it, slot through the side of the frame and once stuck inside the frame, push the cable through, managed to get the inner cable end to pop out through the hole 😊
The 3 hours was tongue in cheek, it was probably more like 10 minutes.
Brilliant, well decribed video. I have a ascend 2 to fit to my sons bike and the ascend to mine and this viseo has definitely helped. Keep up the good work 👌
What a lovely comment. Cheers chap. Happy riding to you both.
Thank you. Mine's the internal model, but your video was still very helpful!
Glad it was of use.
I'm gonna buy one this week
It's still working perfectly since installation. 👍
@theordinaryathlete awesome bro what size clamp are you using
I think it was 31.6 it was a while ago now.
best instal vid by far . cheers
Thank you for the kind comment. Happy riding!
on my Large Marlin 8 with the same dropper, there was no need to remove the top rivnut (fortunately for me!)
Love that, I didn't like loosing the option to cage mount on the seat tube , but no other option.
So in the instructions it says "attach actuator barrel to the seat post actuator" but you didn't do that bit (that I saw). Did the cable stay attached alright to the seatpost?
I can't find the manual online to check what it says at the mo. But where I attach @05:47 in the video I didn't remove the cable from th dropper again after that.
Is yours internally routed, wonder if the process is slightly different?
Thank you mate
No worries.
Hi what size is you seat post clamp thanks
Nice one! Do you have also a tiny bit axial play in the dropper? (Move your saddle to left and right) Thank you!
Left to right it is solid, but it does rotate + / - approximately 5 degrees. I don't notice this when riding though.
@@theordinaryathlete Thank you for fast reply! Rotating = axial play. I have the same, but i think it's normal too! Keep up your good work!
Happy riding my friend.
Mine tries too spin left and right
My lever is very hard to push, any ideas how to make it easier to push or activate
Hmm, its going to be down to the friction of the cable inner and outer. Make sure the cable isnt taking a really extreme bend, particularly down by the bottom bracket. You could try squirting some lubricant down the end of the cable outer to let the inner move more freely.
Please help, my ascend II won't stay down or up regardless of how much I up or down the tension. Surely it has to be one or the other, not both :)
Is that fully installed it does that?
To check if the mechanism itself is good I would place the cable of the release mechanism in a completely straight line to rule out cable rubbing inside the outer, have zero tension in the line.
I will need to look at mine again in a few hours, as it's been a few months since I've looked at it, to refresh my mind how it functions. Then I'll reply again.
Edit: is there a good pressure in the post when you push against it?
A got this gor my trail bike as my old ethirtteen one was broken a got it on sale for 39.99 chain Reaction
That's an absolute bargain 👌
I got it for 29.99, dropped even more
@@benjamincaspi3181 brilliant a got a replacement cartridge as well for 2 quid for when it needs it it's a great dropper post
It's now 22.50 with code EXTRA10, I've ordered another to have as spare!! Dropping like mad lol (pun intended)
You can't get a decent standard post for that, that's mad.
How do you fit the saddle please let me know
Hello, loosen the two bolts with hex bits to allow the plate atop the post to move up.
Place saddle rails between the two pieces of the camp.
Tighten the rwo bolts up again. Adjust front / rear bolt to adjust the incline / decline of the saddle to your preference.
