The OneUp dropper has moved from Stanton to Scott but might still be too tall.
But, at least it works. Going to get 165mm cranks and stick what shim pins I have left in it to drop it a bit and that might be enough. Anyone got any Shimano 1x 165mm cranks they want rid of?
On to the Stanton. LBSGuy™ tried his own, very new, Fox dropper in it - it was at 9Nm but not over 10Nm of torque!!! just to stop it twisting but he said the Fox dropper did at least still function. But it is brand new. He tried shimming with cans but it didn't help (iced tea not IPA which might be the issue)
So, thinking about getting a 27.2 dropper and a longer plastic shim down from 30.9 to try and "fill the gaps" better.
Other than burning all my MTBs and going back to picking silly lightweight gravel bikes, any other brilliant ideas. I'm off to look for a 27.2->30.9 shim.
The Scott did at least finally touch some proper dirt though. Hooray
