You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Morning,
I’ve found a few posts talking about brass rods or zip tie mods. I couldn’t seem to see (unless I missed them) any additional channels for extra rods on mine. Is it possible to drop the travel down?
Thanks
Chris

No idea TBH, but why would you want to?
see this post from last year.

I've done it with small bits of zip tie for my son... which meant as he grew, i could just cut them down allowing him to use as much of the dropper as possible.
Depends which brand x. The older ones are the same as a Oneup V1 - you reduce them with a plastic spacer. The newer ones can’t be shortened from the research I did. The Oneup v2 you add in small brass spacers where the keys run - I’m not sure any brand x posts use this method.
Not 100% from your pic but that looks like the 'older' Brand X that you can use the plastic spacers (same as OneUp) method in. Did this for my GFs Brand X with cutting my own space from a take away carton. Zipties doe the same job as well I suspect.

Im guessing the post is too long making the swat too high. I can't use anything more than a 125mm dropper on my bikes which already have small frames.
Thanks all. Yes it seems I had the older version so mocked up a shim from old mudguard from the dimensions here (post #370 if anyone is that interested!).

New frame and got a 170 cheap. Thought it would work..but just too long…was worth having a tinker to shorten it.
Swap it with someone? Easiest option
