Anyone fitted one to theirs?
These dropper things are a new thing for me, used one for the first time last week and I'm sold. That one was a conventional one but trying to work out how to fit a stealth one to the trance.
How does the hose run through the frame? I've not got a stealth post yet so can't see now the fittings are at the bottom of the post.
Is there room to get the hose past the bottom bracket sleeve and run the hose up the down tube and exit on the left along side the front mech cable? Or does it run along in the top tube? Thinking it's not the latter as there would be a tight kink in the hose?
Thanks for any help/advice.
Runs exactly how you said, down the down tube internally and around the bb. Depending on post it will connect to a lever at the base of the post or if it hydraulic it will screw in. After you route the outer/hose, double check the length before you trim it to size, make sure you have enough room to pull the post out and disconnect it.
Your only issue may be having the right cable ports - iirc only the top end models had the internal brake and dropper routing so you may only have one hole in each of the ports not the 2 you need.
Ok cheers nick.
I've got both gear cables coming out of the port near the bb but then again the hose is going to be thicker than a gear cable but I should be able to 'make' it fit with a blade?
Looking to get a reverb if it works out ok.
Shouldn't matter about the bottom ports but you'll need to make room to let the cable out at the top, probably easier to run the remote on the right then you can cross the cables neatly in front of the headtube and into the frame on the other side.
