Im going to recieve a Brand X dropper tomorrow and im wondering if i should bring it to a shop to get in installed or its pretty straight forward ?

Also, I have a reverb right now on my bike that I will need to take off.

Ive got the basic tools in my apartment for bike repairs.
And i guess average rider bike repair skills.(never worked in a shop but worked on all of my bike most of the time)

Is it internally or externally routed?

External should be a breeze to install, Internal not as much. May need to take it to a shop if you don't have BB service tools.

That's not bad then, If you haven't worked on your reverb before look up removal/installation instructions for taking it off. The Brand-X post should be a breeze to install.

The Reverb has the option of removing the cable from the tube without losing any oil, and to facilitate removal. I would recommend for you to remove the reverb at the same time as u install the brand x, basically tie the new dropper's hose to the reverb one, so that as u remove the reverb's hose, the new one follows it through and u avoid the hassle of trying to get te new cable to go through the internal routing which can be a pain in the ass many times.

Good luck! Measure twice before cutting any cables also haha

Use a grinder with a thin steel cutting blade if you have enough length
Good luck buddy!

Hey,

Any rider in here with metal plate and pins in their elbow whom I could ask a few questions? I'd really appreciate it!

Cheers!

Hi

What bike would you recommend out of the Trek remedy 9.8 or the Norco range 7.2?

They have very similar spec but i like the norco as it's a bit more uncommon

Has anyone ridden either or both of bikes to comment?

Thanks, Nick

Hi everyone, random question me and my coworker are trying to settle: What does the BLT stand for in the transition BLT? We know the PBJ is Pumps, bumps and Jumps so figure the BLT should be similar
