Thanks for this video. I did a version of this on my PNW coast suspension dropper. On that post there are 6 much smaller brass keys. I had to cut a small zip tie (~10 cm) lengthwise so it was ~1.5mm wide. I only wanted to shorten travel by 1 cm so I cut them into 1 cm sections. A little tricky to insert and get everything sorted but it's working perfectly, reduced travel by 1 cm!
Thanks for your video! I am trying to troubleshoot a trans x 100 mm dropper that came on a bike I purchased, the post is very spongy when you sit on it moving two or three inches, when I removed from bike I noticed that you cannot manually flick it and make it rise, and it will never lock into a lower position, any idea what may be going on before I attempt to disassemble this thing? Sorry for the rambling message and thanks for your time!
The spacers don't hold any weight, just limit the travel. The weight is still supported by the oil within the post mechanism. Here's a good visual of how a dropper post works. th-cam.com/video/0Bg2E8YgF-w/w-d-xo.html In essence, the spacers are doing the same thing as lowering the post by whatever height they are, without having to do that every time you put the post up.
Wait you get a dropper with suspension post? Exactly what I'm looking for my new fox transfer is way to big at 150mm can never get it set to the right hight again for ages after drop it abd put it back up actually sick of it
Bro it's brilliant, I did the same thing on the rockshox reverb, one screed was enough! Thanks

That's a rebranded tranzx seatpost and they use similar method to adjust available travel droppers.
Don't think this works on Fox Transfer circa 2018?
Well I'll be damned. That worked.
Thanks man, u solved a big dropper post roblem 4 me🤘♥️
😁 I haven't thrown it away because I knew it'd be usefull someday.
That’s a brilliant hack. I had to buy shoes with a deeper sole, thinner pedals and a low profile seat 😂
I've tried this on a syncros but can't screw the top part back on with the zip. Not sure if I can make this work, maybe I've missed something
Anybody tried this on KS rage?

Depending on weight im guessing as these will crush easy under load?

Will this work for a PNW Coast external dropper post with air suspension? I can’t find anything online. I need to lower my travel by 1”-1.5”.
Did you ever find out? I am wondering the same thing.
