PNW Components Puget MTB Dropper Lever 2X Front Shifter Compatible

Seems pretty good and well priced. Working fine so far

I have an older full suspension with a Ks lev Integra that still works so I did not want to trash it because the old lever broke. I decided to just get a new lever and this is what I landed on. I got the 2x because it was cheaper at the time but it really was not that bad to install, I did not even have the correct tools so I used a cutoff wheel and it worked great. Good value and a solid upgrade for an older bike.

Works well with 2x drivetrain with one small "annoyance". I couldn't get the lever as close as I'd like to my thumb because of the set screw orientation to tighten the bracket to the handlebars because of the shifter indicator. If they were to "redesign" it, I'd recommend flipping the screw to be tightened from the "cockpit" side of the handlebars... I included some photos to show my install and what I'm talking about. Other than that...works as designed and adds more functionality to my "aging" bike.Update: After a few rides and having to uncomfortably reach for the lever (last second "panic" when I couldn't fully press it), I mounted it between the brake and shifter and feels much better and more "natural"...it just hits the front derailleur level if I bury it but of no ill effect when it does. Also I never use the front derailleur but if I did need to ever shift it, the possibility is still there.

Better than my last one that broke! But I will confirm that the little cable slides off the rocker. It doesn't affect the functionality, but it's just annoying to hear that little popping sound every time. I feel that over time, it may wear down the wire, we will see.

Most dropper levers are $50+, so finding this one for under $30 was great. The enclosed instructions are absolutely useless - a waste of paper. I went to PNW's website to find an installation video, as there is no clue in the instructions on how to secure the cable at the lever end. Fits perfectly on my fat bike bar, even with a front derailleur shifter.

Bought this before I did a 1x conversion on my bike, as it was basically the only option for 2/3x setups.When set up correctly, it seems smooth enough, but dialing it in was a hassle. The little sleeve bolt that acts as the fulcrum for the lever is too tight - with all that extra friction, the lever won't "return" properly and feels mushy. There's no built-in spring here - you're relying on cable tension/pull from the dropper post to bring the lever back.Loosening that sleeve bolt (the silver one) allowed it to return consistently, but really they ought to spec that bolt a tiny bit longer, or make the lever itself slightly narrower so it works when tightened. Still feels a bit mushy though - any kind of spring mechanism would go a long way to make it feel more snappy.Does its job without getting in the way, but only just. The dropper it's paired with (PNW Coast) has been nothing short of excellent - hopefully they can dial in this design a bit, I love everything else I've seen from PNW.

This lever was pretty easy to install and works fine after one ride. Also, it does come with the cable. Hint: You don't need to pull the cable too hard while installing it.

No complaints. Works great with my PNW dropper post.
