Abstract

See full text

A dropper post assembly for supporting a bicycle seat may have an outer tube and an inner tube having a clearance portion and an upper end that includes an inward facing axial stop surface that defines a laterally extending abutment plane. A spring cartridge assembly has a cartridge cross-sectional that is less than 90% of the interior cross-sectional area of the clearance portion. A lower engagement member is disposed toward a lower end of the inner tube and substantially fills a lateral between lower end of the cartridge tube and the inner tube. A post head member has a front fastening aperture, a lowermost part of which lies in a laterally extending post head plane that is disposed axially inboard from the abutment plane.
