[Closed] Mounting lockout and dropper levers?

I've got a racy hardtail with front fork lockout mounted on the left of the handlebar. I use this a lot more than I originally thought, so would like to keep it.

I also have routing for a dropper post, which I had on previous bikes. I've ridden this new bike for a year or so and am getting dropper curious again.

What are my options for mounting both the lockout (Fox) and dropper levers? It doesn't look like it would be straightforward to just add a dropper lever to the same location as the lockout lever!

Thanks 🙂

Look at different styles of lever. Thomson style dropper lever goes outboard of brake lever, some mount with a matchmaker/Ispec into the brake lever, some bar clamps work better inboard of the brake lever - Bontrager.

Don't know what you Fox lever looks like but I'm sure you can find something that works alongside it.

Thanks chaps. I'm running a 1x XT setup. This is the front suspension lockout lever:

I think this would be the easiest to use -

Actually, Reverb on the left on top would work with your lockout too
