i bought a brand x DP, but the lever has a poor mount that moves when pressed. Anybody recommend a fix or a better compatible lever? TIA
i have the bontrager lever on my brand x. It's good and much better than the original
Bontrager here swapped for my gravity dropper original. Miles better
Race Face or Easton one works well.
Bonty & ks southpaw here
Both way better than brand X one
What Kimbers said.
For £17 the Bonty lever is brilliant.
Either the Bonty or the shifter mod -
I have done the shifter bodge - wonderful old XTR 9/3sp shifter, works a treat.
Madison do one for not much money...
Another vote for the Bontrager. I didn’t think the brand x one was that bad (until I smashed it off with my knee in a crash), maybe just having a bit of play in it.
Replaced with the Bontrager as it’s all solid metal and is sub £20 delivered. I was slightly worried it didn’t have a return spring in it (there’s a small one in the brand x) but needn’t have worried. It just sits there and works really well whilst feeling like a quality bit of kit.
You can tighten up the play in the lever.
Wolftooth ReMote is the best one i've used but is more expensive than the other options.
Please stop posting that you can tighten the play up in the Brand-X remote.
You can't.
The bolt and countersunk nut bottom out on each other before play is removed.
Tighten it any further and you will break the threaded portion of the bolt. The fasteners are quite weak.
