What should I do with a dropper that's hard to drop and after yesterday's wetter riding stopped fully rising without me lifting it?
I think the seatpost collar needs to be quite tight on the Stanton to stop the dropper post, um, dropping. But tightening the seatpost clamp seems to create enough friction (stiction?) to stop the dropper moving nicely. Add some water and lots of bumps and stuff into the mix and it's not so happy.
Presume they can be pulled down and serviced but is there a quick fix other than backing off the seatclamp and introducing post slippage.
