Oneup Components

They were showing their highly innovative Dropper Post that offers a trimmable shim design to tune the travels lengths so you’re not stuck in some prescribed setting. Their EDC tools system fits into the top of your steerer tube for quick and easy access to essential maintenance items.

Dropper Post

The world’s shortest, long travel dropper post. Get the longest travel dropper that will fit you and your bike.

More drop = More fun. The further out of the way you can get your saddle on downhills the more confidence you’ll have and the harder you can ride. The shortest stack height of any dropper, period. No other post gets your saddle lower. And with the shortest effective length of any equivalent travel post on the market, most riders can now upgrade their 125mm or 150mm post to a 170mm OneUp dropper.

Their brand new infinitely adjustable Dropper Post provides tons of travels lengths, so you’re not stuck with the typical default setups. The dropper post comes in 30.9 and 31.6 diameters, the 150mm and 170mm lengths; which are adjustable; and retails for an affordable $199.

Tuneable

Don’t get stuck between dropper sizes. The unique OneUp travel adjustment shims allow you to custom tune your post by lowering the travel and extended the length of your post by as much as 50mm in any increment you like. Want an oh so fashionable 128.99mm drop? You got it! Drop tuning can be done on-bike, tool-free and without removing the saddle or touching a shock pump. Lowering the posts travel also increases bushing overlap, which is great for heavier riders.

It utilizes an interior plastic shim (optional for $10) that can be trimmed for the specific travel you want in any increment your heart desires. 

Comes in two lengths:

  • 170mm Dropper Post – adjustable down to 120mm
  • 150mm Dropper Post – adjustable down to 100mm

No Bleeding

With a simple and reliable cable actuated remote you never have to bleed your dropper remote again. The cable setup is quick and easy. The cable clamps at the lever making shortening the housing length for clean routing a breeze. Unlike a hydraulically actuated dropper, there is no temperature sensitivity, and If your remote gets damaged, you can still lower or extend your post by removing it from your frame and pushing on the actuator by hand.

Better Remote

A carbon remote with oversized bearing and super smooth action. The unique lever position allows you to keep a stronger grip on the bars while actuating your post. Don’t think twice about dropping your post, even when charging into technical sections. The OneUp lever mimics your R/H shifter’s inboard upshift paddle position instead of the usual downshift paddle position of most remotes. This position requires considerably less thumb movement to reach the lever.

The remote (optional $49) is pretty cool since it lays back where a shifter would reside instead of the typical positioning where the paddle is more towards the back of the handlebars.  It was smooth and excellent modulation during use, allowing some nice feathering motion.

EDC (Everyday Carry) Tool System

All the trailside tools you need, always on your bike and instantly accessible

Given a choice, we always prefer to ride without a backpack. But no one wants to be ‘that guy’ who needs to borrow tools or be left walking home while your friends enjoy the rest of the ride. We wanted a solution that would allow us to carry the essential tools that we need for every ride, without wearing a bulky backpack.

EDC stores your essential trail tools inside your steerer tube, right at your fingertips. Whether you’re going out for a quick lunch ride or setting off on a longer adventure, EDC has all the tools that you need to keep your bike running smoothly and fix any trailside mechanical.

The EDC tool can also be stored in our new high volume, CNC Alu Pump, which has an integrated CO2 inflator head. Grabbing your EDC tool from the pump is as easy as reaching for your water bottle.

An excellent and innovative way to carry some of your tools on a bike. You’ll always have some of the essential tools needed for most on trail maintenance work, handy in the steerer tube of your fork.
