Last year when i did this the replacement parts were the same as what was already on the post. This year they have a silver band on the top cap. I see your parts do too. I was afraid they were the wrong parts but good to see they fit. Btw this kit is nearly impossible to find.
Is the extension limited by the cartridge or by the something else (like the two keys hitting the collar)? Just wondering if a longer collar would shorten the travel.
You’ll probably need to service it to figure out the problem.. if it’s stuck in the upward position the cartridge may not be the problem. It’s more probable that it’s the keys. Or the cable may be disconnected… open it up let us know how it goes!
@@SOCALMTBAdventures Today we, took the dropper off the bike to find that the piston assembly was 100% fine. Although, the cable has a 90 degree kink in (next to where it mates to the dropper) it and the hand levers adjustment circle was broken. Looks like the inner metal guide for the hand-lever is broken off right where the assembly can be rotated to adjust the tension. Was able to right the cables kink and manually adjust the cable tension (pliers) before locking the wire retaining screw in place. Thankfully the unit now works fine, saving me $200 plus in parts and shipping fees. We've always had issues with this device from the moment we received it from Giant, yet I'm betting my son or one of his friends dropped the bike onto something, damaging the hand-lever. Otherwise its a great bike, and we'd likely buy another. Side note: It could be possible to use the old cable to pull thru a new one. (or a guide wire) Thus saving others the experience you endured.
@@SOCALMTBAdventures Forgot to mention that we reside in Germany. While there are bike dealers and service agents all over the place, Giant isn't so common here. Thus most all of our maintenance is done by me and my son. Who just recently installed a handlebar extender. (supervised) He's 13 but rides an adult "L" mountain bike and yet needed the extender as his reach (legs / arms) was making it difficult to ride otherwise.
It cured most of it but not all of it.. I also run a fox dropper on another bike. We have a few different types of droppers, and they all have saddle play . it’s almost impossible to have it be gone completely.. a sad truth 🫤
Thanks for sharing it. I didn't know that I could disassemble it 😅
Glad it helped you!!! Thanks for the feedback 🤘🏻

Proof that these post are bound to fail, probably 🧐
Nice job bro!!
Thank u 🙏 ❤️

The keys create the limit .. I don’t think they hit the collar though .
My sons dropper post is stuck in the fully "up" position. Any suggestions?

Slick honey is a good one. Use at your own discretion. Less is more.
You didn't show if it cured the saddle play at the end 🤷🏼♂️
