Great tutorial! The thin plastic keys in mine sheared off and my seat was rotating. After following your video and replacing the internal bits, it feels more solid than when it was new! Thanks a lot
Excellent video, in particular the attention to the little details that other videos leave out.
Thanks 🤟
I have the second gen dropper and it was slighty different than this (few extra screws) but this video helped me still. Thankyou
helped me out, dropper back to normal now. thanks
Glad i could help dude!
I have an older version I believe, and I can't seem to get the bushing off of the inner sleeve. I think it's harboring a bunch of crud that's causing excessive wear and I could use advice trying to pop it off! What do you think?
Hello,
thank you very much.
My Modell did not come off so easy. so I had to pull both tubes apart with a little force and Speed. But it wasn't a problem. Thank you.
No problem dude! Thanks for watching.
I have the 2017 Modell and it won’t slide off I don’t know what to do and I couldn’t find a solution ://
Could be very dirty otherwise if it's the same dropper and you followed all the steps it shoulf come off
@@NoizieWorks it’s funny that right after I wrote my comment able to slide it off lol. It was really dirty tho and I had to use quite some force to slide her off. Thanks for your quick reply :)) ride on
Saludos desde Colombia, tengo una giant anthem con tija neumática, mi pregunta es, ¿el cilindro debe calibrarse con aire o solo se limpia?
Hi Jonathan ,is it possible to ask me again in English?
@@NoizieWorks
I have a giant anthem with air seatpost, my question is, should the cylinder be air calibrated or just cleaned?
Just a good clean and lube up and your done, the air cilinders are throw away parts with no way to add air. In fact i think that you pump it up by dropping it with your weight but not sure about that.
@@NoizieWorks Perfect, thanks bro. Your video was very useful to me, although I don't know english, I understood everything.
Does the collar 0:40 contain a metal ring? If I screw my collar on it locks down on the post.
Underneath the collar is a plastic ring to keep the seatpost from spinning around
@@NoizieWorks There a silver metal ring with a slot in it. When I screw the collar on the metal ring seemed to cause a problem -- but now I have it assembled and it seems to be working. I don't know why it seemed to cause a problem earlier.
What would cause the dropper post to be loose/spin inside the stanchion? Could it have come off of the key grooves?
Keys int this dropper are made of plastic so big chanse they are completely rounded over.
Can they be replaced or am I looking at a new post?
I think your local bike shop should get a hand on some new plastic keyways. Easy to replace as you can see in the video
How can I minimize the play? side to side play
i'm afraid i can't help you with that
I've got a 2017 Anthem & the dropper is now slow to rise, took in to the BS & was told because the stanchions black color has faded that is the reason why it's now faulty. They suggest I replace with a new one, your thoughts?
On the visible part of the dropper? If not i would give it a service.
@@NoizieWorks yeah on the backside of the stanchion the black's faded out- yes I'm gonna follow your directions & replace the cartridge etc.. as it hasn't been done. Thanks
First clean it out and use thin silicone greas and look if it's fixed before you spend money on a cartidge
@@NoizieWorks thanks I appreciate it
Please help! I’ve got a trance 2 2017 model, I need a new cartridge for dropper but with one do I need? There is 2 to choose from from the website
Thanks in advance
You should have this seatpost:
Giant Contact SL Switch-R, 30.9mm no idea what kind of cartridge is in there
If you find it let me know. I looking for a cartridge too.
wintek suspension 40611800
google that,mine trance from 2017 has that cartridge.there are 3 sizes.
What products do you use in the video?
Generic silicone paste and spray that you can find in the local hardware store
I can't unscrew the actuator on mine... it drives me nuts! It seems like its seized... Any ideas?
You could soake it in a bath of wd40 or some other variant to get it out or heat it up let it cool down and do it a few times.
@@NoizieWorks cheers, I'll give it a go with lots of wd40
I can‘t pull my housing off pls help
Did you untwist the top collar and the bottom nut completly like in the video?(40 seconds in the video)
I’m having trouble pulling off the casing, any ideas what this could be ?
Could be muck and grime if you removed the collar en nut at the bottem
First 😁
