One Up Dropper Post Adjustment and Servicing

One key thing about One Up is the adaptability and serviceability of the posts. The fact that travel can be adjusted means that you can get the longest drop possible for your bike rather than being restricted. The general service process is really indicative of OneUp’s ease of usability. There’s only a small number of parts required, they are all available to buy, and the servicing itself doesn’t require any tools that aren’t already in an experienced mountain biker’s toolbox. Lengths available: 90, 120, 150, 180, 210, 240 Diameters: 30.9, 31.6, 34.9 You can also get 27.2 version, in 90 and 120mm travel options. The 90mm is good for small frames, kids bikes but also comes in handy for frame designs with very interrupted seat tubes (droppers for DH bikes!) More is more Almost everyone is looking for the most travel possible. This is OneUp’s trump card. Put simply, by running a OneUp dropper you can achieve up to 30mm more drop than you can with rival droppers. OneUp posts fit more drop into the same space (saddle rail to actuator). As well as the things you can see externally – short stack height clamp, dinky top collar – the system inside the post takes up less room than other droppers. For example, you can run a 230mm drop OneUp post in the same space a 200mm drop rival brand post takes up. Or, where you ‘only’ had a 160mm dropper, you can now have a 180 in there. There aren’t really any downsides in having more drop, apart from the extra loads going through the bushings. Which is why the longest travel OneUp droppers have increased bushing overlap. Travel adjustment Going back to the simple 10mm increment travel adjustment. This is very handy when, for example, you can’t quite accommodate a full 210mm travel so you can quickly adjust it down to 200mm or 190mm. (it’s also just nicer looking to be able to get the collar of the dropper to sit as flush as possible to the seat tube collar!). This travel adjust flexibility also helps future-proof your dropper post purchase for future bikes that you may get. The travel adjustment feature means that OneUp posts actually offer a total range of travel options from 70mm up to 240mm, in individual 10mm increments. Changing the travel only takes a couple of minutes. You do it by removing or inserting thin 10mm-long brass rods into post. It’s very simple and swift to do. Our favourite dropper As well as the long drop-ness and travel adjustability, OneUp droppers are just really flipping good droppers. Really nicely made. Responsive and accurate in operation on the trail. They’re also light weight for the travel on offer. There are a few cheaper posts out there but none can hold a candle to the quality, travel amount and adjustability of a OneUp.
