22.2 Dropper Trigger

We set out to make the toughest, most precisely machined, most adjustable dropper trigger on the market. After numerous prototypes and over a year of testing, we’re proud to present a dropper trigger with stacked dual sealed cartridge bearings, two different cable clamp options, a barrel adjuster, and a hinged clamp. Machined by us right here in Chico California to the highest tolerances.

Product Story

We’ve tried just about every cable-actuated dropper seatpost on the market, and while they all have their pros and cons, we weren’t satisfied with any of the triggers that actuated them. So we designed our own.

As usual, our engineers were obsessed during the design process, we torture tested the hell out of various prototypes (including numerous crashes) in the toughest terrain in the Sierra Nevada mountains for over a year. Our final production version uses dual stacked sealed cartridge bearings in the pivot for zero slop and long (serviceable) life, a pinch bolt and cable head recess allowing you to run the cable in either direction (some droppers pinch the cable at the seatpost, while others pinch the cable at the trigger), a hinged clamp so you can install it without removing the grip, and a little barrel adjuster for fine tuning the cable tension.

Machined out of 6061 American aluminum to 0.0005″ tolerance (holy smokes that’s precise!) here in sunny Chico, California.

If you type “Bidwell Bump” into the search bar of our website, you can read Bodfish’s telling of how it went (pretty funny), and if you wanna race it this year, follow the @bidwellbump bio links, and maybe you can win a prize from us!

Brass bike parts… they’re heavier and cost more… b Brass bike parts… they’re heavier and cost more… but there’s something about ✨THAT PATINA✨. We know, these aren’t for everyone. But some people like a little pop of brass on a bike. You can polish it to shine like jewelry, or let it oxidize, for that vintage steampunk vibe. We’ve just added brass options to our Bar End Plugs and Stem Topcaps, and have already been offering it in Spring Adjusters and Baby Groovy Barrel Adjusters for a while now. Machined right here in Chico California by a bunch of bike nerds, just like everything else we make. ✌️
