My seal on my dropper has split and no one seems to have a service kit in the UK available at present. Does anyone know if I could get a seal that would fit anywhere else ?

Have you searched for a kit for the RSP droppers etc, they share *some* parts I believe? Other brands too.

What model? The one up v1 seal kits fit the brand x xl ascend. Also think shimano koryak seals fit

Tried that site but they don't have any stock, I wondered if it's a standard seal I could pick up somewhere else ?

Do you mean the main stanchion seal? I was under the impression that they were all the same size.

Where's the valve to add air on these?

Schrader valve under the seat on mine, yeah I might just order an external service kit and see if the seal fits I would guess they would all be the same, we will see

The wiper seals are the same on all brandX models. Ebay for kits

Mine works perfectly fine but sounds a little dry like it needs some lube to make it smooth and silent - lube or service time?

I used a Pro Koryak kit for mine. Stealth Ascend XL 170mm.

I think the Ascend 2 users the same kit as the One up V2.1

And not all Ascend posts have a valve. I've am older 150mm and a 170mm with a valve, and a newer old 150mm with no valve.
