- Today we look at the quickest and easiest way to service your dropper post at home with minimal parts or tools needed! I'm using the Giant Contact Dropper Post that came with my bike, but this could apply to other dropper posts, such as Brand-X. However, for SDG, KS Lev, OneUp, PNW, RockShox Reverb or a FOX Transfer please check your manufacturer's maintenance manual first.

Bravi! You guys did in a simple, user-friendly 3 minute video what others can't manage in 20+ minutes of jaw wagging. Very clear and de-mystifying. Gold star for dad, too.
Thank you!! ❤️
for real. Gmbn videos are at least 17 minutes too long. because you know, more ad breaks for them I guess. 👎🏼
What I like in addition to the contents is your very clear voice. So many of the videos have speakers that sound like they have a mouthful of oatmeal.
Thank you! I've never really been an oatmeal typa guy, so that must be why :)
Best dropper post service I have seen yet.
Thank you!
One of the best tutorials I have seen ❤
Very nicely done!
Personal, professional, and understandable!
Thank you!
Excellent and thorough guide.
Great video guys , really easy step by step guide to follow .
Great video, Thanks for getting to the point and making it an easy view.
Awesome vid bro. Clear and to the point.
Excellent video: easy to understand, see, follow. Do more videos!
Thanks for making a short video, not talking and shaking the camera for 15 minutes, and not using the time to humble brag. Keep this up and you will rise to the top :) If you want to start taking market share of the gun maintenance video market, I will support you because they could use some lessons lol!
Nice job!
A barrel maid for paintball marker would work great for cleaning inside the seat tube or servicing shocks
I love how the second video you make after getting sponsered by a bike shop is teaching people how to service something without going to a bike shop xD
I think it's in general good to know these things and how your bike works. Of course you should try to support local MTB stores (like County Cycle) but still good skills to learn!
@@EverydayBiking 👍👍

Excellent I always wondered about this!
What are some signs to look for that you need to service?
If it has become slow returning back up or hard to push down.
Also good idea to service once a year because sometimes water can get in through the seal on the top when washing.
Maybe if it's not working properly...
Just did this to my giant dropper because the button on the cartridge was binding, they are damn easy to take apart
My dropper post is wobbling like 5mm from side to side. I read something about brass key replacement, but it was doing from the start when I bought the bike, so it didn’t wear off. Can I do something about it, or is it normal?
this is very helpful, but for my dropped post when trying to remove the cable from the dropper it will not come out as it has something locking to it, anyways to remove that?
I dont have one but ill watch it anyways lmao
Notification squad? Haha
@@EverydayBiking yea xD
😃
it was great but my air canister it doesn’t come out is that bad
Just did this partly because my posts wasn’t going up but I just took the top collar off cleaned the plastic ring that came out and put it back now it works again?
I think I might try the same...
@@MTBMOR part of doing a full service so worth a try
My dropper broke 2 times this summer so I didn’t really get to use it cause I need a new release wire thingy
What is the issue when your seat post is working fine but there’s a bit of jiggle left and right
is SRAM butter an alternative to the slick honey?
Also should we decompress the dropper or keep it pumped?
Hey there, Sram claims that sram butter is not the same as slick honey, but others say that they are the same thing in different packages. Many shops use them interchangeably, so if you are using one for the purpose of the other, I believe you should be good. And not 100% sure what you are referring to about decompressing it or keeping it pumped, however when storing you should keep it in the extended position, same with doing maintenance on it as the air pressure is 3 times higher when its compressed.
@@EverydayBiking Sorry I meant do I keep the air in my dropper or take it out? I feel like taking it out is the logical step but might as well check
You can use SRAM butter, that's perfectly ok. You also don't need to take the air out of your dropper when servicing it!
my remote is too stiff, how can I adjust that?
If it's too stiff then you should probably either clean off the cable or replace it. Stiff remotes usually means dirty cables.
@@EverydayBikingthank you, I fixed it. The problem was that there was too much cable inside the post
👍
help i can't unscrew my dropper post collar it came from the factory super tight what do I do
One way is you can use a rubber strap wrench to hold the seatpost as you unscrew it with a wrench.
What dropper was shown in the video?
Giant Contact Dropper Post
✌️🤙
What in gods name is the reason for this bullshit.??
I mean someone tell me.
I’ve got a $1000 bike with a seat that won’t go down. ?!
A$1000 bike isn’t even a $600 bike 10 years ago.
I’m so pissed off that I’m going to have to pay to have this fixed.
Very informative and easy to understand, thank you!
