Brand X Dropper Query … Sticky Pin … Ooh er

Afternoon All,

I have a Brand X dropper that suffering with a sticky release pin – Specifically the pin that the cable rocker pushes on to actuate a drop and release.

On a couple of occasions the (bar mount) lever just won’t exert enough force to move the post initiation a fafftastic removal from the frame and the pin pressed in with a screwdriver to get it working again.

Do I resign myself to it just being a bit of a dud or is there something that can be done to help the issue?

I’d have put a drop of oil on it and exercised a few times while it was out. Probably with the pin depressed as far as possible because IIRC they’re a bit tapered at the tip so you’d get a bit drawn into the bore that way.
