I’ve just bought a new dropper that comes with an under bar lever for use with 1x systems – trouble is I’m still on 2×10
Can you just buy a “universal” remote for 2x systems? I’ve had a look on chainreaction and they have a brandx which looks like it might do the business but it’s £25 – is there anything else out there that I should be looking at? A quick ebay search doesnt’t seem to bring up to many options
Thanks

Can you not put it inboard a bit from the gear trigger (bar width dependant)

or turn it upside down (trigger on top of bars)

Put it over the bar on the rhs?

I have a specialized command post lever spare that fits quite nicely with a lock on grip instead of a collar. can have it for a £5 posted.

The KS standard remote should do what you want. It even serves as the inboard clamp of a set of lockon grips if you like. It’s not very pretty but does the job.

Should be plenty knocking around spare from people who have upgraded.

Only place I can quickly find new on sale is bike24

Thanks everyone
Cheers

Fork remote levers should be fine too, but I’d go for austys offer. (MrsP is using that lever with a 3x system)

I’ve pmid Austy

Why are dropper remotes so chuffin’ expensive? They are more than an xtr shifter which is an infinitely more complex piece of engineering.

David If you’re still aren’t sorted out I’ve got one you can have

I’ve a KS remote that I’ll happily swap for a shifter-style under lever remote!

Cheers all, looks like STW has been more than helpful

I’d assume they sell a shitload more shifters. (though, just googled and a current XTR shifter is £74 on CRC, that’s more than most dropper remotes)

Oh… I’ve got that wrong then. It’s just that everything seems expensive then.
