- XC bikes get heavier and heavier each year. They come with wider rims, wider tires, dropper posts and it becomes more difficult to get a fully, that weighs 10 kg. Mine got close to it...

Fox Transfer: 618g
DT Swiss D232: 373g
Savings of: 245g
And I saved you all some time of your life as well
You're welcome everyone
Oh, you missed the levers 😉
What's the weight of a DT Swiss dropper with same amount of travel as the Fox ? Or better would be Fox with only 60 mm of travel. Let's compare apples to apples. Cheers !
I just like to say „thank you“. I love your Channel and i took lots of practical Tips from you and your Experience. You are a Perfectionist like no other.
I am a simple Worker and buying used Bikes because I could not afford new ones or better speaking I love used quality instead if cheap new ones.
This Year I collected more than 10.000 Kilometers with my three Bikes and do everything on my own. I learned from you to love my Bikes and take care of them. And do this many little steps to let them feel every Day like new ones.
I am from Germany but my Roots are from Poland (Elblag-Elbing) and I am not so young like you but I love my bikes the same Way. Greeting from Hamburg, Germany
Vielen Dank mein Freund👊
Perfect for my xc race bike
lol my enduro bike is 17.5kg
Yea but it’s not an accurate comparison between a 100+ mm of travel to a 60 mm travel dropper. With that less of a travel, of course it’ll be lighter. If we were to compare 2 distinctively different brands with similar travels. The weight shavings would be negligible.
Anybody else notice how he is clamping his bike to the work stand? I’m dying over here...
You know you have a problem when you're measuring and cutting grams....
Excellent video!
What do the sponsors of the channel think about attempts to extort money for SZAJBAZE?
I was screaming when he weighed the bike with the dropper down at 8:32
Still have PTSD from Reverbs exploding when doing stuff like this
Leave the post resting with the end on the clamp and the saddle on the rear wheel> fix cable on the remote> proceed with both hands installing the post and guiding housing. 😉
I didn't quite get the "saddle on the rear wheel"...
@@cannondany turn the Post 45 degree so the longer side of the saddle rests on top of your rear wheel (or any object nearby like a second stand or board). The lower end rests on the seat clamp with the housing already in. If you pull on the cable it will actually press the housing firm into the cable stop on the post. Fix the cable and you’re done with worst part. I hope this time it made sense 🤔
tire logos aren't lined up at 6:00
First to confess i really like your channel. Ok...now we can go to the point. Let's consider that we talk about XC, right ? For lambda xc rider, it's mostly an accessory to compensate their lack of technique. Let's be honest. For competing racers, it depends. It mainly depends if the course has some difficult down-hill sections (drops), and if it will be competitive to have one. Lighter version of course are good, although i would NEVER recommend a DT Swiss. They are making great wheels, hubs but thats all. Their suspension are not really amazing, and their aftersales is horrible. I heard Poland is the only place where they do the right thing. I remember Fox changed the game a couple of years ago offering an almost maintenance-free product, reliable and with an excellent aftersales. Now it changed. They are not alone anymore. I really doubt that a 60mm will change the game for non pro riders. Other brands offer light seatpost too, and i guess fox will come with one soon or later, same as for the Stepcast fork (maybe a mechanical version vs hydraulic). I actually use a Dropper, and sometimes i remove it because i know the courae will be more or less flat. By swapping your inner 30mm inner rims to 26 or 27mm, you could drop another 100 grams too. This Merida of yours looks really great. Pls continue with great videos
On my side, I found a KS Lev Ci in very good state as 2nd hand. Not so much heavier, and much more travel (I have the 100mm, and the 125mm is 400grs).
Tip toeing a bike on a descent is never a proper technique, it’s too compromised. Dropping a saddle by 60 mm let’s you grab the saddle with your knees to become one with the bike, and that’s exactly whats needed on a technical section. The less weight you have on your hands, the more precise your steering becomes.
I like that it can be serviced, you can replace the upper body and the key (to stop it from rotating). I think its a clever idea but i gotta be honest, it does not look good. I'm guessing they use the same upper part for the 27.2mm model and have created this stepped lower tube (?). The seat post clamp, the matte bit, the thin shiny bit and then the bulky bit on top.. it's so messy.
Funny how few years back you would say that it is not nescesary but now every decent XC bike has a dropper :>
Shoot, did I say that?
@@cannondany Yes you also said that saving weight on a bike would not be that important; now you are changing out parts.
@@cannondany "you Would say"... I did that too, now I'm enjoying the dropper, that's the irony
The DT Swiss D 232 is a much better type of dropper post for xc / light trail bike !
Happy new year you sick biker
Saved even more weight by scrapping the front derailleur, chainrings, shifter, and front brake! At 61 let's face it, I'm no longer fast enough to need a front brake on the flat trails around here! Dropper post would be pointless.
You've inspired me to use the height adjustment quick release to practice bunny hopping. These cost way more than my bike is worth. Don't need the latest gizmo to have fun.
You don’t need a dropper at all to practice bunnies.
Another lightweight option is the bikeyoke divine SL. It is even cuttable to reduce weight
I just picked up the
New 2022 fox transfer SL is lighter at
100mm travel 359g
Adding a total of 154g with the trade of my old FSA carbon seat post
Hi ! Nice video because I was looking for example of installation to see if me was the only one having problems when fixing the wire into the trigger, and putting the drop inside at same time you are getting out the wire from the front... I also had to do it 3 or 4 times... Think dt swiss should improve by screwing that "quick release..."
Anyway, I wanted to ask if had the same problem than me. Sometimes when I'm riding it dropps alone itself. Have you had this problem? I reduced a little the tension from remote adjust and got better... but then I have also a problem that I see you have. Once you press the remote lever and drop it again, it doesnt goes back to the total starting position...
Also, I noticed this drop is full range or if not, is not fixing, I mean you have to reduce all the 60mm to get blocked, if you reduce only 40mm for example it doesnt block. Have you got also this situation?
Thanks friend, hope you can solve some of these doubts !
It’s either dropped or not, that’s true. The rest is most likely due to incorrect installation. Dropping on its own means there is too much tension in the cable.
What a lovely bike 😍
Is it easy to install at home even if you are not very handy? Thank you
What's the point of a dropper post with so little travel? Surely, the weight penalty exceeds the value of dropping a few millimeters.
Different styles of riding mate.
Sometimes a few mm makes a world of difference.
Do you know if the lower part (the carbon part on the 232 ONE) can be cut short? I bought one who was written 400mm but was near 450 in fact with the mechanism... my Scott Spark cannot accept something this long... Do you think the seat post can be cut shorter as the mechanism sits on the upper part ?? many thanks
How do you like Twistloc on this bike ?
Ilia Permiakov good
I love it, but the preproduction model I got, twists on the bars, as the mounting screw doesn't press enough on the it.
what adjustabe torque wrench do you use, i have been looking for one recently
tell your viewers how he wanted to extort money for SZAJBAZE
Hello, if I lower the post a little after having installed it. Do I have to tighten the cable again?
Cant wait...
What lever would you use for a 2x setup?
A 9.8 Fall Line R 100mm weighs 354g. Fox transfer sl 100mk is 359g. Both lighter than this alien looking dropper.
More is not always better.
Which wheels and tires u have?
Maniac !!! :)))
Hi, Did you find the drop of 60mm enough for XC?
If it helps, I moved from a 125mm to this DT Swiss 60mm and tbh I find it more than adequate. I do have slightly longer legs than the average 1.82m person but for XC, even technical downhill, it works really well for me.
what torque do you use for the brake clamp?
It Will say in your handlebar's manual
10.4 kg without Pedals?
That I believe is my Gt I drive 2002 - all normally required parts and pedals. Still having fun.
Subs to you SickBiker from Master JC Channel
1. show off to English-speaking viewers how you are extorting money in Poland.
2. Why you never inform viewers about how you got what you presented: you bought, got paid, you paid for the ad.
3. Why do you install parts in the bike that you said you would be bidding on SZAJBAZE?
He will delete ur comment, BET
Say what?
what is this about?
60 millimetres maybe few?

Hi Boys 😍💋 💝💖♥️❤️
