Dropper seat post on a IP-256SL with internal cabling?
MTB2223:
Hmmm, okay. In that case. If you look to the bracket, you see that the bracket have some holes. If you don't use a FD, it is very easy than. But I don't know if there's enough space when the BB is installed.
Ray Zorbak:
Very interested in this discussion about the dropper post on the 256. I've been wondering the same thing
MTB2223:
Ray,
I take a look today and is it's possible to place stealth dropper post.
In the first picture, you can see a hose. Picture is take from the top of the seat post tube to the BB.
In the second picture, you can see the hose through the BB.
Jake:
I still want to get myself an internally routed dropper seatpost and I will have to drill the entrance meant for the front mech.
I read somewhere that there is an aluminium insert there????
I already had a cable in from the headtube all the way out of the seattube:
It will be necessary to remove the bottom bracket and the headset but so be it.
I would prefer a cable actuated dropper with 150 mm travel but the only one that is available is the Kind Shock Lev Integra which has a weight restriction: 90 kg
And thats what I weigh with gear.
The Yep Uptimizer is not available in 155 mm yet.
The Rock Shock Reverb Stealth is another option, I don't like that it is hydraulic..and I wonder how difficult it will install.
Are there any other options that I overlooked?
carbonazza:
While I still had the BB out.
I left a metalic cable entering the hole at the right of the frame.
Taped. And waiting in the other end in the seat tube.
Passing on top of the BB.
I'd like to put the Reverb stealth.
What do you have against hydraulic?
The cable is strong enough to pull the hydraulic hose through the frame, and make the V turn over the BB, I guess.
Hopefully, without having to dismantle the BB.
I'll probably do this in the fall.
Please let us know what you do in the end.
