TIDY EXTERNAL ROUTING
The Cascade is built for bikes that don’t offer internal routing, but it still ensures your cables are kept out of the way during up and down actuation by providing the external routing port at the midcap.
WEATHERPROOF SEALED AIR CARTRIDGE
Like all of our droppers, the Cascade rocks a sealed air cartridge that is known for its performance in below freezing temperatures. This design also makes the post easy to self service when it comes time for maintenance.
EXTERNAL VS INTERNAL CABLE ROUTING
The Cascade is an externally routed dropper post, which means the cable will be secured to the outside of your bike frame. Determining what cable routing is compatible with your bike is the first step in picking dropper post compatibility.
HELPFUL TIPS TO DETERMINE ROUTING STYLE
- Does your bike currently have a dropper? If so, is the cable running through the inside of the frame (internal routing) or is it secured along the outside of your frame (external)?
- What’s the age of your bike? Internal routing started around 2014 on high end mountain bikes and became more common on bikes after 2016 – if your bike is older than that it most likely is only compatible with external routing.
- Got a newer bike? Look for internal cable ports that would send the cable housing up the seat tube to the bottom of the post. Common spots for a port are towards the bottom of the seat tube, near the bottom bracket or possibly up near the head tube where your other internally routed cables enter.
