This video helped me alot! (no exaggeration). My Bontrager dropper was grinding on the way down; applying grease inside/below the dust collar solved the problem. As you said, there was very little grease inside when I opened the collar. The dropper is now buttery smooth. Thanks!!!

You said cube has the same structure ? Oh my God, I was struggling with the travel being just a 10mm more than I need, this literally means that all I need is a shim. Thank you so much.

It's not that these are "cheap" droppers. They are the droppers that are priced right. The other droppers which cost more are overly and needlessly expensive, either from over engineered (complex) or selling their name (Suspension companies) These work as good as them and their maintenance is a lot cheaper and much easier.

Had a Bontrager Line Droppost for 2,5 years. I had only once a problem. I disassembled the post and cleaned it. It was like new. There was a lot of dirt inside. The only thing i didnt like was that the saddle can rotate a little bit.

I bought the Giant one a couple of years ago, was great at first but within a couple of months the paint was worn on the rear of the stanchion and even with constant cleaning/lubrication didn't perform as well as when new, I wouldn't in hindsight buy another, I have the ethirteen now and although better than the Giant still not what I would expect performance wise for the price.

Yay for the Marlin having internal dropper routing. I put a KS dropper on my Giant Talon and had to run it external, still the single best upgrade I did to the bike. I will now get very familiar with this type of dropper as I am upgrading to a Giant Trance which has the Giant contact dropper, which as you mentioned is very similar to the Bontrager.

Another video to increase knowledge. Wanna see some tips & tricks. why don't you try to convert those wire bead bontrager tyres to tubeless? Every where what we see is going tubeless with tubeless staffs which isn't bad but boring. It would be a interesting project if you able to make it.

Ohh..I meant the stock bontrager tyres. It would be fun to watch making them tubeless. It's true stock tyres are pretty basic. On some tyres 60 tpi Carcass is so thin sealant would face tough time to seal every time. For example maxxis's stock ikon tyres.

I converted my Giant Talon to tubeless, I did have to replace the stock Ikons and went to MaxSpeed compound Ardent Races which are very well suited to a hardtail. The stock rims were not difficult to convert, the rim surface is well shaped for rim tape and it only took about a day for them to seal up good.
