Servicing My PNW Loam Dropper Post

So I noticed my PNW Loam dropper post wasn't going up all the way and was moving really slow on my last ride. So I decided it would be a good time to take it apart and clean it up. Turned out that did the trick. Enjoy this cringy video of me serving my dropper post.

First Time on Storm King Trail

On day when I was exploring the trails I found this trail called Storm King. I made the mistake of claiming this trail. I realized this would be an awesome trail to descend. I hopped on Sally (My 2023 Fezzari aka Ari La Sal Peak) and climbed Pine Drop trail to the black section of Phils Trail to Storm King. Trail was awesome until I got to COD.

Mountain biking season is back and most of the trails are clear of snow. This is one of my first rides this season (2024). I'm super excited to ride this season on Sally (My 2023 Fezzari aka Ari La Sal Peak). This trail is accessed at the Cascade Lakes Welcome Center off the Cascade Lakes highway. It's about a 6.5 mile loop. I have to say this is one of my favorites trails. Perfect for riders o...

Just got my 2nd bike! "Sally" is a 2023 Fezzari La Sal Peak Shimano Elite! This is my first real bike and I'm super excited. I unbox the bike and assemble it. I had some shifting issues with the Shimano XT drive train but was able to dial it in with some barrel adjustments. Took this bike on Ticket to Ride, ELV, and Grand Slam trails here in Bend Or and had a blast.

    I'll comment on the XT - I have 2 bikes with XT and love it. Feel no need to change (and have another bike with standard XO, one with XO AXS, and my ebike has XO Transmission - N+1 problems). Anyway, XT has the smoothest shifts and shifts well under load. As you said, look at the hanger and make sure your limit screws are adjusted properly (I've never pushed chain into the spokes on my XT bikes). Also, if necessary - make sure you're using XT or XTR shifter as well. Sometimes it isn't the derailleur but the shifter - not sure what shifter is on your bike but that is one component many bike manufacturers cheap out on and one of the first things I have to upgrade. Also the top portion of Ticket to Ride (south) is one of my favorite trail sections in all of Bend.

    Purchased the 2 man version on the UK. Backpack is flimsy and straps totally inadequate compared to similar bags designed for inflatables. Manufacturing faults left exposed fabric showing through the outer coating. Took this up with Aquaglide and they didn't bother to reply! Sent the package back to their retailer - who knew of this problem! Truly disappointing since this is meant to be a premium product!

      The material is pretty durable. I’ve dragged it out of the water on to a boat launch and taken my dog for a ride without any issues. I’m pretty happy with is so far. I’m planning on doing a year long review to see how it’s held up.

    You have excellent taste in bikes my friend. I love mine, what a massive upgrade from my late 90's Gary Fisher HT. I'm surprised you didn't like the saddle, I thought the stock one was pretty awesome. Agreed on the pedals, I'm about to replace mine. But this bike punches wayyyy above it's weight class, absolutely destroys trails, climbs like a Sherpa and is easy on the wallet (and the eyes).

  • @mas247
    @mas247 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for the great video. I just finished assembling the same bike, size Large (18.5"). I'm 6'2". I'm also looking to add a dropper post, however I noticed that there is a slight bend in the seat tube on the bike, so the original seatpost can only be inserted 170mm into the frame. I looked up the PNW Ranier seatpost and it shows that it is 452mm total length, whereas my seatpost that came on the bike is only about 375mm. So I'm thinking that with that post, I won't be able to insert it far enough into the frame, so that when fully extended it isn't too high. I'm curious to know the size of your frame and how that worked for you. By the way, the one upgrade I did right out of box was adding the Microshift Advent X 1x10 drivetrain, which is awesome. If you do any other upgrades that might be one to look at.

    • @hawkestales
      @hawkestales 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I’m using the same 18.5 frame as you. The dropper post will not go in all the way as you said. I’m 6’. I actually had to raise it a bit to get good pedaling efficiency. And it drops out of the way fine. I’m also looking to upgrade the drive train. I saw a 1x12 on this frame.
