During last nights ride I could something 'loose' and knocking a bit.

This morning I believe I have found the issue - dropper post.

The dropper part seems loose ish in the seat post is this normal? Ia there a fix?

Thanks

Chris

    how loose is loose ish?

    Its normal for them to have a small amount of play between the dropping and static sections on all droppers, yes.

    As a guide if the nose of the saddle moves sideways by about 5mm it's normal, 10 or over is too much.

  • Thanks. This must be normal, it doesn't move 5mm - I must have just noticed more last night.
