I was going to get a Reba AXS but have decided on a Oneup V3, cheaper and lighter. I have a Scott Spark with a twinlock lever fitted controlling f&r shocks, so I'm guessing I'd have to replace it with a triple lever, if there is such a thing? I'm not sure, with the V3, which end the cable nipple fits. On the twinlock the nipples are at the twinlock end but I've seen levers where the dropper cable nipple is at the dropper end with a grub screw holding the cable at the lever end.

Can anyone help me get the right setup?

Just use a solderless nipple & you can have one on each end if you need.

you can also have an old-school 2x lever, that sits above the bars (if the scott levers are taking over the underside position)?

nearly all dropper posts I've seen (1up included) have the nipple at the seatpost end, "backwards" from a normal shifter

Thanks for your help both! The scott levers do take up a lot of room under the bars but  as I have a gripshift on the RHS I suppose I could fit a single dropper lever that side, but I've only seen LHS levers so far.

The Woolftooth take on the old Maverick lever design (ReMote 360) could help you - it can fit virtually anywhere left or right I think.

A 2x dropper lever like the pnw puglet 2x should work

Couple of really good options thanks. I think the wolftooth 360 is really going to give me lots of options especially now my thumb joints are getting a bit arthritic. I could probably use my index finger with that. Brilliant!
