- This video goes over how to service a Giant Contact Switch dropper post. The contact switch dropper is a very easy dropper post for anyone to service, as it's very basic. The Contact Switch dropper highly benefits from regular maintenance, as there are plastic parts inside that can quickly wear if not coated with enough grease. Keep up with the service intervals and it will last for quite a while
As always, let me know if you have any questions

Dude your tutorials are the best on RUclips, way under rated. Your instructions are thorough, clear, and concise. Thank you.
Im gonna be making some copper keys to replace the plastic ones in the kit. After one fall i already wore the plastic keys completely.
Apologies for the late response. If you have the means of making your own keys out of copper that should work out WAY better than the plastic ones for the long term. 🦾
Also, thanks for the thoughtful comment. It makes me glad to hear that you find the video informative. 👍
Great video - thank you very much - well done 💪😎💪
Glad to hear you found the video informative. More videos to come 👍
Thanks for everything!
Anytime myman. as always, let me know if there are any questions. More to come
@@zoubtube is there a chance to teach how to use a nitrogen station ? I have one in my workshop but im really scared to use it as my last coworker who knew how to use it, was fired and now im alone , id like to know what should i be careful or something like that , pleaseeee thanks!
@@diegocabrera4056 Good timing. I'm literally finishing up editing a video where I use my nitrogen station to fill it. Technically not a video on how to use the station itself, but I do fill the shock with the station. The only thing about that video is it'll be ASMR style. Always wanted to do one of those. I don't use the nitrogen station in my videos as I don't think most people would go out a buy one. Technically, Air works just fine (nitrogen benefits are miniscule for most people (including me)) and it's MUCH more cost-effective to use air. I'll do a video for you on using a nitrogen station. But I need a bit since I'm currently working a forks and rockshox shocks. 👍
@@zoubtube Thanks!!!1
This Giant Contact Switch dropper post is identical to the Bontrager Line Dropper that came on my Fuel EX 8 (circa 2018). I hated it and got rid of it after a year lol. I did one service on it shortly after I got the bike and then another before I finally ditched it hoping to make it better but it is what it is.
Good feedback. personally, I'm not a fan of not being able to adjust pressure. I like droppers with a fast hard return. This particular post is for a buddy wifes bike. With him being a BIG PNW fan, I'm willing to bet he will change it out for a PNW sooner than later 😉
It's never just what it is, it can always be described in a more complete manner.
Right 👍
glad to see you found it informative. thanks for the comment
Here goes your like good man.
thank you sir. let me know if there are any questions
I have this post. Can this post have shims added to reduce the max travel length? In the fully extended length, it’s like .5 inches too high for me. Thanks.
My sincere apologies for the delayed response. Unfortunately this version of post doesn't have a travel adjuster that I know of. The only way would be to create your own shim, but doing so might affect the droppers responses if the shim isn't correctly sized
the cause of left right movement?
depending what type of left right movement, either pins are wearing or the bushings are wearing. I would change both 👍
Glad it's a simple to service design, but I really wish they would stop using those disposable cartridges. Inevitably they'll eventually lose some air and then there's nothing you can do but buy a new one.
Agreed. Not being able to adjust pressure is sort of limiting as well. definitely need to keep up with regular service to extend the life of this post. not a fan of the plastic guides.
@@zoubtube yeah, I'm not a fan of plastic guides either. Hopefully this lasts a few years. Once it fails, it's time for a PNW.
Can you adjust the height? Mine is a tad to high
