Been struggling to get my GD Classic to work properly,so took it to bits,nothing obviously wrong,clean and regreased everything as per the instructions,then reassembled it but still won't work right 🙁 It was then I noticed that the housing that holds the pin/actuating mechanism has all but parted company with the main tube that fits into the seat tube.I was a bit taken aback that it was only glued onto the tube!Anybody else had this happen? Have sent a polite email to Gravity Dropper hoping they can help,out of warranty though! Failing Gravity Dropper doing anything can anyone recommend a bloody strong metal to metal adhesive? Cheers

Yeah, had that. Epoxy and a couple of zip ties (optionally leave them in place) will have it fixed in a couple of minutes.

GD will fix it for free if you pay the postage there but the above works as well as does just zip ties which i did in an emergency when the levr came off in my hand

When it snaps in half through the pin-hole you'll be even less impressed. I was.

Yup, I've recently done this, returned it back with a new bottom section that has the problem part held on now with 4 screws as well as being bonded, they also gave it a service.

Mine was replaced/re-glued by GD twice, but happened again so two zip-ties worked a treat fro the past year 🙂

Happened to me, agree with posts above. Enailed them, cost me £14 to send it to them and they fixed it for free.
