PNW Components: How to Maintain an Externally Routed Dropper Post

Dropper posts, like any moving part on your bike, need occasional maintenance to keep them performing at their best. Grit and grime can build up on your dropper’s seal and can actually get pushed into the post as you ride. Fortunately, we use a sealed cartridge in our droppers, which makes servicing your post nice and easy. A simple cleaning and reapplication of grease works wonders in making your dropper feel like new and you can do this on an as needed basis or as much as you'd like. Follow along with the video above for step by step instructions, or use the link below to see written instructions if that's what you prefer.
