Opsætning og installation
- Prepare Your Bicycle: Ensure your bicycle is stable, preferably in a repair stand. Remove your existing seatpost.
- Mål og skær kabel: Route the external cable from the handlebar remote lever to the dropper post's activation mechanism. Measure the required cable length, ensuring enough slack for handlebar movement without excessive loops. Cut the cable and housing to the appropriate length.
- Install Remote Lever: Mount the remote lever on your handlebar in a comfortable and accessible position. Secure it firmly but do not overtighten.
- Connect Cable to Dropper Post: Connect the cable to the dropper post's activation mechanism at the base of the post. Follow the specific instructions provided with the dropper post for precise cable attachment and tensioning.
- Insert Dropper Post: Apply a thin layer of grease to the lower part of the dropper post (the part that inserts into the frame). Insert the dropper post into your bicycle's seat tube. Ensure the post is inserted to at least the minimum insertion mark.
- Adjust Saddle Height: Adjust the overall saddle height to your preferred riding position. Tighten the seatpost clamp to the bicycle manufacturer's recommended torque specification.
- Installer sadlen: Mount your bicycle saddle onto the dropper post's saddle clamp. Adjust the saddle angle and fore/aft position as desired, then tighten the saddle rail bolts securely.
- Test funktionalitet: Before riding, test the dropper post's operation. Press the remote lever to lower the post and release it to allow the post to extend. Ensure smooth and consistent movement.
Betjeningsvejledning
The XLC Suspension Dropper SP-S13 is operated via a handlebar-mounted remote lever. To adjust the saddle height:
- To Lower the Saddle: While seated on the saddle, press and hold the remote lever. The saddle will begin to lower. Release the lever at your desired height to lock the post in position.
- To Raise the Saddle: With your weight off the saddle, press and hold the remote lever. The saddle will extend to its full height. Release the lever to lock it. You can also press the lever and gently lift the saddle with your hand to assist its return if needed, though it should extend automatically.
The 100mm travel allows for significant height adjustment, beneficial for technical descents, climbs, and general riding comfort.
Opretholdelse
- Rensning: Regularly clean the exposed stanchion (the shiny upper part of the post) with a soft, clean cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Smøring: Apply a small amount of suspension-specific lubricant or silicone spray to the stanchion and wiper seal area periodically to keep it running smoothly. Wipe off any excess.
- Kabelinspektion: Check the remote cable and housing for fraying, kinks, or corrosion. Replace if necessary to ensure smooth operation.
- Boltmoment: Periodically check the torque of the saddle clamp bolts and the seatpost clamp bolt to ensure they are tightened to specifications.
- Professionel service: For internal maintenance or if you experience persistent issues, it is recommended to have the dropper post serviced by a qualified bicycle mechanic.
