Looking at changing out my Brand X 120 mm..... For another Brand X, but the 150'm one.... (great little dropper these!)

I know the max insert is 220 mm for the Brand X XL.... From looking at the droppers YT fit themselves I think that's ok but wondered of if anyone knew for sure?

The frame is a large.

Thanks guys!

If nobody can answer on here there’s a massive Jeffsy 29 thread on Pinkbike, so I’m sure someone on there will be able to help.

I think that you'll find that there are 2 minimum insertion depths to be aware of. One is for the post itself and is usually marked on the post, whilst the other is to protect the frame itself from damage. Frame minimum insertion depths are usually frame specific (I think that the rule of thumb that around 1 cm below the seat tube/top tube weld for metal frames and I don't know how this holds for carbon) so it's probably best to ask Jeffsy directly.

-- Edit --

Just realised that you asking about Max. not min. insertions; sorry.

Just an FYI.

The Brand X XL fits the frame fine. 🙂
