Some riders say this feels a little crude, but personally I quite like it because it lets me know the post is fully extended. The post still pops back up with a sharp ‘ding’ but it’s less metallic than previously.
Ks dropzone full#
In terms of function, KS has reduced the actuation force in the new Lev Integra, so there’s a lighter lever action and it also breaks away from full height a lot easier. Sometimes these older round nuts used to spin in the clamp and were tricky to get tight – no such problems now. To make saddle installation easier, KS has angled the clamp head bolts further out, so you can actually get a multi-tool in there, and it’s also ditched the circular nuts for barrel- shaped versions. The cable is anchored at the post end via an alloy barrel, which does mean you can run a third-party remote lever with this dropper if you wish, either a cheaper alternative or something top-end like the Wolf Tooth ReMote. paratroopers on a drop zone at Fort cylindrically shaped 5 - millimeter diam. WARNING - On the KS video, the shaft is yanked with some force so that the copper guide bushings knock the silver DU Bushing out. Be carefull not to lose the 3 copper guide bushings on the cartridge assembly. I find that some of the cheap droppers come with poor quality cables and this can make the post feel sluggish to operate and it can even end up sticking after only a few rides. Step 7: Loosen the top collar with a strap wrench, then remove the cartridge assembly from the outer shaft.
The post is still cable operated and, like most KS models, comes with a top- quality inner cable, which really helps with performance over the long term. And the extra drop means more clearance when hitting a step down or gap jump. Situated in the heart of the beautiful Fraser Valley in Abbotsford with panoramic views to Vancouver, Mt Baker (USA) and Vancouver Island from jump altitude, Skydive Vancouver’s scenery is world class. The Integra was one of the first internally- routed droppers, and it’s always been a relatively low profile design, but KS has actually reduced the insertion depth, which means you can get a longer post in your frame without any issues with the saddle being too high at full extension. Less than an hour drive from downtown Vancouver, Skydive Vancouver’s drop zone is a privately owned airpark dedicated to skydiving operations.

What I really wanted to find out is whether the new KS Lev Integra has fixed the post’s annoying characteristic where it would extend if you lifted the bike up from the saddle – say to put it in a workstand or uplift trailer.
