So i need a dropper lever that will be on the right of the bars for a jump bike project im doing, the bike will need to be ridden a few miles to jump spots so ive installed a spare old external dropper post

So far all i can find that will work is a CrankBros Highline remote, which is band on and has a universal mounting system — top or bottom, left or right

Can anyone else find something similar that will fit a Sram Matchmaker mount or even direct mount to a Hope Tech3 lever?

Must have the cable clamped at the lever end

No shifter conversion suggestions please, i want a proper dropper remote but not sure if i can find better than the CrankBros one

PNW Puget any good? Band on again, but different design. Let me look and see if my wolf tooth could be swapped around.

I think Scott ebikes have a dropper lever on the right. Maybe get in touch with a dealer.

PNW Punget is not right hand compatible as far as i can tell, they have the 2X lever but i want a proper under bar lever for the right side, Wolftooth is a no go (ive got 3 and have tried!)

Can confirm the Crank Brothers one is a well made piece of kit.

Having said that, if you're only raising it to ride to and from your jump spot, how about ye olde loosen the clamp and slide the post down?

The frame has a built in seat clamp with the threaded part being part of the frame, id rather not have to keep undoing and retightening it as eventually it will strip knowing my luck!

Yeah, on the right, but it sits on top and tbh is a bit annoying.

I suppose it could fit either side, maybe just they've specced it right as the 3 way for the fork/shock is mounted on the left.

As I nearly never use the 3 way I'm thinking of replacing the annoying dropper remote to something under slung and putting it in place of the laft.
