[Closed] Dropper Remote - left or right

Dropper on right. Obviously. (edit: in a whichever-side-you-want kind of way).

Left seems more common especially on a 1x10 but I prefer mine on the right.

Obviously? Why?

Which remote gets more use? Dropper or Suspension?

Do you put the one you use more on the left (and therefore opposite side to the the gears you use more)?

Left no question.

Left under the bars. Just buy a right hand lever and run it on the left upside down.

Left. Dropper gets used too much to put on right with the rear shifter. If you even have one, front shifter gets used a lot less.

Left. So you can drop your saddle and grab a load of front brake at the same time, also left handed shifts are less frequent.

Ok, so left it is... Top?

Or bottom? (and where does it go in relation to XT shifters?)

where does it go in relation to XT shifters?

I have 2x10 XT and M785 brakes (i-spec), and I run a LH Reverb lever on the top, it fits nicely between the grip and brake lever. Some people say to run it below the bars to keep it out of harms way, but if you angle it down a bit it isn't that vulnerable to damage. I've had mine set up that way for well over two years and it's not snapped or anything. If you run a RH lever upside down with a LH shifter the remote could be quite a way inboard and harder to reach as a result.

Someone will be along to tell you I'm an idiot shortly - it probably doesn't matter either way to be honest... 😉

Maybe it's time to try it on left then.

Just to be awkward I run mine on the right underneath the bars and don't find it an issue as it doesn't get in the way of shifting, you never really need to shift and alter seat night at the exact same time and you can grab a handful of rear anchor and drop the post at the same time for those 'oh sh*t I didn't see that coming' moments (usually the last point in time I want to be grabbing the front brake in less than controlled manor)

Works for me, I'm sure others will have different experiences

1 bike has it on right (2x10), other bike has it on left (1x10, second hand bike came like this). Either side works fine, its me that gets confused!

Both above the bars, some say below is better?! Seat still goes down when I push the button

Personal taste. Ergonomics of the remote matter too.

I run a Lev and a Reverb. I have both on left, (reverb is rh so under bar on left) and I couldn't imagine it any other way. I have this on 2x bikes - my 1x bike is dropper free. On the other hand, I personally can't imagine why anyone would want to add clutter and weight for shock and fork remotes...

If you really need the other remotes, I'd seriously take a look at your bars and work out what else is possible before making any further choices. It's gotta be getting a bit full, and if you can't reach the remote without leaving the home position on the grip, the remote is pointless and you might as well just use control on actual item direct.
