You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
New bike incoming with a 175mm KS LEV Integra dropper, which is unfortunately about 20mm too long for me based on the demo ride.
I know a lot of the droppers on the market are made by/rebadged Tranz X eg PNW, OneUp, BrandX etc. and they all apparently work with the same travel reduction shim
im struggling to find out much about the KS. I found one article where a custom aluminium spacer was used inside the cartridge to reduce the extension, but that’s a bit too involved for me.
I haven’t taken it apart yet but I’m assuming the principle is the same- I just need something to fit in the outer tube grooves that the brass keys slide in? So if I make something to size I should be able to install the same way as the Trans X posts ie remove collar and bushing
Just to update this- it is possible but was a bit faffy and I had to open up the cartridge
i added some more info to the mtbr thread Here
works a treat though- very happy and dont need to buy a new dropper!
