Dropper 1.5
Natalie Omahony
I didn't understand how a dry/dropper or in this case a "Hopper Dropper" really worked. My nymphs were often too light, tippet too heavy, and I didn't know anything about how to slow my dry fly down slower than the surface currents in order to let the nymph and hopper work in a symbiotic unit. If you can get your nymph and dry fly working together at the right pace, your catch count will be MUCH higher.
I'll share a quick story before you watch this video. I can distinctly remember guiding about 10 years ago, and we were fishing a hopper dropper here in the Yakima Canyon. I had fished this rig for a long time, had tons of success (or so I thought), and on this particular day we had fish eating both the dry fly and the nymph. So what happened was we had some big somewhat lethargic fish coming up and trying to sip the hopper and several eats in a row the hopper seemed to get pushed out of the trout's mouth by water and natural drag each time the trout attempted to eat the dry fly. To fix this, an angler should really work on what I describe as "backing the fly down" so the butt end of the fly is leading and it's essentially backing its way downstream with a tiny bit of upstream tension.
This allows the fish to approach the fly without being inhibited by the leading tippet. We started backing our hopper down all the seamlines to make sure that the next big sipper got the hopper fly sucked in without a miss. What happened next was an epiphany. We went from about half the fish on the hopper vs. the nymph, to 9 out of 10 on the nymph. The upward tension on the dry fly forced it to work with the nymph at a slower pace than the actual surface current. We were finally getting the fly to hover and hang in the slow water mid column!
It was a complete and utter game changing move and one I'll never forget. We landed about 30 trout that afternoon, some were quite exceptional and I'm convinced without the change to our presentation we would have seen about 5 of those 30 fish. There are some other tips in the video to take away, but rather than just connect two random flies it's wise to put some thought into this rig and fish it right.

A grippy rubber thumb pad improves lever feel and can be colour matched to your bike. The integrated cable port with cut marks makes installing your remote even easier. It also keeps your cable end tidy and lets you install without a cable crimp for a super clean look.
The new lever cam reduces the thumb force needed to actuate your dropper post. It requires 27% less actuation force than our V2 remote. Upgrading your remote is a quick and easy way to improve the feel of any mechanical dropper post for less than $50.
The V3 is the lightest infinitely-adjustable dropper post on the market, it has the shortest total length and stack height of any dropper post, 20mm of adjustable travel, an extended 350-hour service interval, and new ultra-low friction IGUS bushings and SKF seals. Plus, save an additional 10g with our Titanium Bolt Upgrade Kit.
This is the lightest infinitely adjustable dropper post on the market. Even lighter than 2-position XC specific lightweight posts and suitable for all rider heights, weights and riding styles. Save an additional 10g with the Ti Bolt Upgrade Kit.
A simple and reliable low-maintenance design is insanely easy to work on at home using only the OneUp EDC multi-tool or three standard tools (14mm wrench, 2mm & 5mm hex). Plus, it has a super long, 350-hour interval between recommended services.
Whether you ride an XS or XXL, the V3 is the longest post that will fit your bike. It has the shortest stack height and shortest total length of any other post and offers 20mm of adjustable travel. Use our Dropper Post Length Selector to find your perfect post. Easy.
Every rider is different, with different frames and rider inseams, etc. Your best bet is to use our Dropper Post Length Selector. You will need: Your current ride height, the distance from the top of the seat post collar to the middle of your saddle rails. Maximum Frame Insertion measurement. You can find this by inserting a rigid post or tape measure into your frame until it hits an obstruction. Simply plug those into the calculator and we'll give you our recommendation of dropper length based on those measurements.
If your dropper remote is cable clamping (has a bolt to clamp the cable) then yes, it is compatible with our dropper. If your remote does not have a cable clamp bolt, you can purchase the Dropper cable/nut kit. It comes with a cable bushing that can clamp a cable. With this you can set up any none cable clamping remote.
The orientation of the actuator is dependant on the threads in the lower tube. This means the actuator orientation, once tightened up, is arbitrary and different on every post. The actuator orientation cannot be changed without rotating the lower tube on the guide pins.
OneUp droppers should be serviced using a light suspension grease. All droppers come with a small packet of Slickoleum, but any light suspension grease will do the trick. We do not recommend any lubes, including fork boost on our droppers.
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.
The EA70 AX dropper post joins our AX series of horizon-expanding drop bar gravel and adventure componentry. Features include a reliable cartridge design, internal routing and availability in two lengths - 350mm and 400mm. Our EA70 AX post brings 50mm of drop, allowing for fitment on everything from your wide-tired CX bike to modern gravel bikes.
30 Day Returns
Got the wrong size? don't like the colour? no problem, we accept returns up to 30 days from you receiving it. All product must be in new, uninstalled condition with the original packaging intact. To set up a return click hereand fill out an RA request form and a customer service rep will reply with instructions to return it.
In line with the ethos of our gravel products to provide more confidence, the 40mm of drop puts a rider in a more comfortable and manageable position to descend faster. Similarly, by limiting the amount of drop travel to 40mm, we maintained a saddle position that still pedals efficiently in a dropped position for short periods of time.
Incorporating premium grade bushings, brass vs plastic anti-rotation keys, and a high-quality gravel-tuned, fully sealedcartridge, the G Series Dropper Post is designed around simplicity tooffer the durability required for the abuses it will endure. While service intervals and requirements will vary rider to rider, new life can be breathed into the dropper post via new seals and bushings. In the instance that a worn-outcartridge needsto be replaced, you simply pull the old one out and drop a new one in. No air, no oil, no mess. Function-first simplicity at its best.
The included dropper-specific 0.8mm Pro Polished inner cable interfaces seamlessly with remote levers and actuator arms to provide effortless cable movement. And the innovative 3.0mm LEX-SL housing is more flexible than standard shift housing, allowing for easier installation with internally routed seatposts and providing smoother cable movement. With all needed parts included, Pro Dropper Kits are simple to install.
Our dropper has the most drop, shortest stack height and shortest total length of any other post on the market. No other dropper can get your saddle lower. Use our Dropper Post Length Selector to find your perfect post.
Yes, some rotational movement is normal in the our dropper posts. With so many different frames, clamps, tolerances, and ride heights it's not possible to ship play-free, without running the risk of binding, as all dropper posts require keyway clearance. This small amount of movement, although noticeable in the stand, with not be perceivable while riding. If you are finding you have more movement that preferred, or additional movement is developing over time we have the Oversized pin kit to tune this movement out of you post. Most setups do not require the additional spacing of the oversized pins, but we can definitely provide them if required. Please email sup...@oneupcomponents.com for assistance.
A dropper[1][2] is a Trojan horse that has been designed to install malware (such as viruses and backdoors) onto a computer. The malware within the dropper can be packaged to evade detection by antivirus software. Alternatively, the dropper may download malware to the target computer once activated.
Droppers can be categorized into two types: persistent and non-persistent. Persistent droppers conceal themselves on the device and alter system registry keys. Concealment allows them to reinstall the malware during a reboot, even if previously removed. Non-persistent droppers are considered less dangerous as they remove themselves from the system after executing their payload. Thus, once the malware is removed, it cannot reinstall itself.[3]
