    Anyone know how to stop a Brand X Ascent 120 from wobbling about (rotating inside itself a couple of degrees). Thanks

    send it back, the warranty is good (2 years iirc?)

    Or it needs new key bushings, I think theres a service kit out there from a rebranded same seatpost trans x or another brand can’t remember have a search.

    a couple of degrees sounds normal .

    Mines always had that – its never bothered me. Moves more than my other droppers thats for sure – still rate it.

    The wobble on my 18 month old Brand X dropper got progressively worse until I could feel it moving when riding. I contacted CRC and they refunded me and let me keep the post.

    Yeah mine rocks all over the mofo place

    Side and back and forth even jolts down then up over high speed bumps at times but man does it really matter – nahhhhh cause it does the job

    It’ll bother you less if you just shrug it off

    As all droppers have a lil bit of inherent play

    Same as the pro Koryak & raceface aefect posts as well, those are the easiest service kits to find.
    A new set of keys really helped mine, also the older ones had a crap seal. Fore-at play = significant wear at the back of the stanchion right by the seal, so worth checking.

    Thanks for all this guys. The most annoying thing is it shaking the mudguard off line! So I’ve splashed out on a stay fixed Mudhugger.
    Happy Christmas!
