I noticed most dropper levers without bearing are about 30 to 38 grams all in all. I fabricated one which is extremely minimalist using only leverage and cable tension, lile the basic trans x remote, made from one block of 7075 al alloy, no bearing only a stainless pin in a delrin sleeve bush, not only it is extremely smooth but it's also 31.5 grams 😂 Cost might be prohibitive to some without a machine shop but it costed me about 12$ to make lol
My canadian friend. Just to let u know that following your recomendation i bought and tested today the oneup unit (spec ii clamp) and liked it very much. It is a nice upgrade from my giant dropper that had a pretty crappy trigger very similar to the one on your orange trance. Thanks 4 your help
Today I finally installed the One Up remote. I'm yet to take the bike for a more serious spin, but in the short test I did after installing the little thing is nothing short of amazing, so very smooth to operate and next to perfect ergonomics IMO. Light years ahead of the piece of crap that came standard with my bike, the dropper post is fine (Canyon's brand), but the lever was abysmal. Your video really helped me decide, thanks!
Nice comparison. I bought one-up V2 in sram mount option and it was terrifying close to the grip! Despite the fact of having 3 position holes, they were not enough. I regreted to haven't choice 22mm clamp. The solution was to change the joint piece by an old right mounting piece of an old sram right lever. This gaved me almost 15-20mm of lateral displacement
Pedro Pastor I found the exact same thing and posted images of it on mtbr because they said it’s the same distance as the reverb x1 remote where it clearly if longer and rubbed my thumb even in the furthest in position. Good build quality but ergonomics are off in my opinion. I returned it for the wolf tooth and couldn’t be happier, works great with the oneup v2 post (which is an awesome post).
Good review as always. I have the V2 oneup w/ bar clamp just like you presented and I love it. No problems and I feel no need to switch/upgrade. That said I had two V1 oneup remotes break on me so I was happy to see they came out with a metal one. Worth the weight.
I tried to like the wolf tooth but the EV, LA version exposed my hand to the fairly rough/sharp/scratchy CNC aluminum lever and it kept gauging my skin. Going to return it and try the one up as it looks smoother and less likely to “bite”.
I’ll take the wolf tooth CNC finish over a cast aluminum finish any day. I don’t know how a cheap casting could be mistaken as a higher quality finish when it isn’t for stems, cranks chainrings or any other aluminum part.
@@LoveMTB whats weird is some folks vids show a larger head on some cables.. I didn’t buy the entire post kit just the dropper lever - maybe its different?
You can buy the OneUp remote for 30$ without an adapter for installation and buy an adapter or bar clamp somewhere else for quite a lot less. I bought i-spec II Adapters for my GX shifter that came in a two pack (left and right) for less than 10$. Therefor I have a fitting bar clamp from my shifter left over and have the i-spec II Adapter where I mounted the OneUp lever. This lever has the exact same attachments as SRAM Eagle shifters. I had a cheaper dropper lever before that had a lot of vertical play and felt really cheap all around. This OneUp lever feels very solid with absolutely no play in any direction. It doesn't look, feel or cost like a premium product but you never really see it anyways as it's under the handlebar and brake lever. It's a great product at an at least somewhat reasonable price.
Nice review, this one up system looks pretty similar to the pnw model, which clamp did you use/bought? Did you got it separately? I'm asking this because I can't find the 22.2mm pnw clamp anywhere in Europe and try to find out if i can get myself another...
@@LoveMTB I was looking into the remote side, as you said in another video that the WolfTooth does not has as much adjustability on I-Spec EV as the Shimano. Without the OneUp mounted I cannot see how the mounting position differs
hi, how much of a gap do you have in the Oneup handlebar clamp where the screw tightens down the clamp? Is it normal to have a gap with normal size bar diameter? (22mm)?
I have recently installed the OneUp lever with a is LEV Integra dropper post. It seems to work perfectly although I couldn't ride it yet since my rear wheel is broken :'(
@@LoveMTB it seems very nice. The grooves may be a little bit too deep without gloves, otherwise I like everything about it. I have tensioned the cable a bit more than usual to get less movement in the lever until the dropper activates, that seems to work very well too.
Finally I have a new rear wheel and have been able to ride for the first time with a dropper post. It's amazing. I had absolutely no problems with the OneUp V2 lever, everything felt very natural and a dropper post really is amazing. I think I will miss the dropper very soon when I ride my gravel bike the next time.
I use the WT featured here on a KS Lev Integra, internal frame routing, and it works brilliantly. External frame routing should be no different because neither end of the internal wire cable itself needs a nipple and is instead clammed at both the lever and the post ends. Since all the levers featured here are almost identical I’d assume yes would be the answer.
@@LoveMTB I did not know it was not in USA I did not check that. I got mine on 20%off in Norway. 😊 No shipping cost no extra tax. Divine is also the cheaper model, but actually in my option the better option. But will have heavier lever feel, and not be as smooth, but it bleeds system at each full drop.
@@LoveMTB I haven't checked Canadian pricing but in norway 20%off and for an already cheap post was a no brainer but I know some shops can have high prices and not adjust to them market, for example bikes ter has fullretail price that was from release date, and the on sale price is Sam eprice as other shops have as regular price, and chain reaction cycles has pricier raceface stuff, than other shops have in norway.
I have had no issues with grip on the BikeYoke Remote, it's really good. And the holes aren't for grip, they're mostly for saving weight and good looks.

Niceee, happy you got around to this one! I see it's a new version, mine only has two screw options for horizontal adjustment.
@@LoveMTB Yeah it's the same, definitely carbon though. Don't think there is any plastic, but I could be mistaken. It's the only carbon on my bike :P
Thank you, very helpful to know what comes in the package

I got the OneUp V2 lever. I love it. Matches my OneUp EDC lite and aluminum pedals.

I have the 170mm oneup dropper and it’s great.
I have the wt. My dropper rattles. Thinking of getting the oneup dropper.
The wolftooth breakaway design is great. It already saved me from having a bad wound in my upper leg twice.
great video as always :)
What do u think about Giant Trance? Does it climb well? I was planing to buy one?
sorry for off topic question :)
I tried to like the wolf tooth but the EV, LA version exposed my hand to the fairly rough/sharp/scratchy CNC aluminum lever and it kept gauging my skin. Going to return it and try the one up as it looks smoother and less likely to “bite”.
what did you think? oneup more comfortable for gloveless riding?
I really like my PNW remote
one of greatest feature in PNW remote - lever-travel adjusting!
I’ll take the wolf tooth CNC finish over a cast aluminum finish any day. I don’t know how a cheap casting could be mistaken as a higher quality finish when it isn’t for stems, cranks chainrings or any other aluminum part.
Thanks, info I needed :)
the One Up cable end ball is very small on the internal cable, needs to be larger like a brake end(where it attached to the dropper) , just my opinion
@@LoveMTB whats weird is some folks vids show a larger head on some cables.. I didn’t buy the entire post kit just the dropper lever - maybe its different?
Why are they all so expensive??? I picked up a Giant brand remote that was under $30. Seems to work just fine.
You can buy the OneUp remote for 30$ without an adapter for installation and buy an adapter or bar clamp somewhere else for quite a lot less.
I bought i-spec II Adapters for my GX shifter that came in a two pack (left and right) for less than 10$.

Hi, good Review👍 . One question , planning to buy One Up . They include the wire and Cable?thanks
Nice review, this one up system looks pretty similar to the pnw model, which clamp did you use/bought? Did you got it separately? I'm asking this because I can't find the 22.2mm pnw clamp anywhere in Europe and try to find out if i can get myself another...
what would be your "winner" if you would use the oneup remote with the ispec ev clamp?
I love the shimano spring but good job one up hiding the cable !
Have you tested the I-spec EV version of the OneUp Remote? I would like to know how adjustability compares with the Shimano I-spec EV remote.
@@LoveMTB I was looking into the remote side, as you said in another video that the WolfTooth does not has as much adjustability on I-Spec EV as the Shimano. Without the OneUp mounted I cannot see how the mounting position differs
Ho whappy are you with the one up now?
hi, how much of a gap do you have in the Oneup handlebar clamp where the screw tightens down the clamp? Is it normal to have a gap with normal size bar diameter? (22mm)?
I have a 1 up dropper. will the one up lever work best or does it not mater?
Great video!
Which dropper post lever do you recommend for xc bikes with remote lockout?
Hello, is OneUp v2 remote compatible with SRAM Matchmaker (not the X version) and Level T brakes?
I have recently installed the OneUp lever with a is LEV Integra dropper post. It seems to work perfectly although I couldn't ride it yet since my rear wheel is broken :'(

It's amazing. I had absolutely no problems with the OneUp V2 lever, everything felt very natural and a dropper post really is amazing.
I think I will miss the dropper very soon when I ride my gravel bike the next time.
OneUp V3 just came out but I think V2 looks better. The new V3 is trying too hard to look like PNW loam lever.
Hi there! Can I ask you how much torque did you apply to the handlebar clamp?
@@LoveMTB Thanks!
And what about Fox and RockShox ? Prefer my Fox
Hi, can be used for KS dropper?(external cable routing)
I use the WT featured here on a KS Lev Integra, internal frame routing, and it works brilliantly. External frame routing should be no different because neither end of the internal wire cable itself needs a nipple and is instead clammed at both the lever and the post ends. Since all the levers featured here are almost identical I’d assume yes would be the answer.
I see no reason to change the ks southpaw that came with my bike. I mean it gets my saddle up and down😂
so are they grippy enough? I have Bike Yoke remote which came with Divine dropper post, it was too slippery, I had to add anti slip/grip tape.
@@LoveMTB OK, the BikeYoke has holes to make it more grippy but that does not really work.
@@LoveMTB I did not know it was not in USA I did not check that. I got mine on 20%off in Norway. 😊 No shipping cost no extra tax. Divine is also the cheaper model, but actually in my option the better option. But will have heavier lever feel, and not be as smooth, but it bleeds system at each full drop.
@@LoveMTB but Wordlwide Cyclery & Jenson USA has it. Are you in USA or Canada?
@@LoveMTB I haven't checked Canadian pricing but in norway 20%off and for an already cheap post was a no brainer but I know some shops can have high prices and not adjust to them market, for example bikes ter has fullretail price that was from release date, and the on sale price is Sam eprice as other shops have as regular price, and chain reaction cycles has pricier raceface stuff, than other shops have in norway.
I have had no issues with grip on the BikeYoke Remote, it's really good. And the holes aren't for grip, they're mostly for saving weight and good looks.
Anyone tried the Brand x for I spec II lever?
@@LoveMTB will give it a try and see how it goes. Thank Mate
@@LoveMTB well it came today and 10x better than my rf lever which I paid double the price. Will find out once fitted.
You skipped the only bit I needed to see.
