Loosen, but do not remove, the cable fixing bolt on the underside of the dropper lever with a 3mm allen wrench, screw the barrel adjuster fully in clockwise, and make sure the cable housing has a housing end cap installed. Insert the dropper cable through the barrel adjuster until the housing is completely seated in barrel adjuster, threading the cable under the cable fixing bolt and washer.
Pull cable taut and torque cable fixing bolt to 2.5 nm with a 3mm allen wrench. Note: Make sure cable is seated underneath the washer to ensure proper cable retention with the washer. At this point you may use a 2.5mm allen wrench to adjust the lever bottom-out position via the bolt located on the backside of the lever. Adjust based on personal preference.
Push the lever 5-10 times to make sure the cable housing is fully seated and to check for play in the cable. Note: if there is play in the lever/cable, loosen cable fixing bolt with 3mm allen wrench and pull cable tight a second time. For micro adjustments, use the barrel adjuster on the lever where the cable enters.
Trim excess cable with cable cutters with enough room to place cable end on end of exposed cable (Leave at least 10-15mm for this). It is important to use proper cable cutters to prevent the cable from fraying.
Crimp cable end in place. Push lever. Drop post. Get rad.
