Levo Gen 2 How do you lower the seat post on a turbo levo comp even more?

[bikechiq]

Hi there, I've got a turbo levo comp and I have an aftermarket saddle. The way that the saddle mounts to the seat post, it adds like an extra 2 in to the height. I've already lowered the dropper post as far as it can go, how can I get it even lower?

If it’s a 150mm xfusion then the 125mm one goes lower in the frame.

personally I would get a different saddle though

Grind off some seat tube

Out of interest, what saddle adds 2" to the seat height?

This might actually be a situation where the answer really is "just fit a OneUp 150mm post"...

Haha, you must be an unforgiving man

@bikechiq can you share the model of saddle or a picture please? There are a few threads on shorter dropper seat posts but that might not be the issue Smallest Dropper for XS frame - EMTB Forums

It's the ISM touring. I enjoy going for many hours on the trails and i want to keep the pressure off of my genitals. Hope that's not tmi

You could always just drop the post a wee bit till the saddle is at the right height.

It's still not low enough unfortunately

OP has already done that.

I guess I was right...

@bikeshiq you need a shorter dropper post.

There's two ways to do that;
1. Get a post with less drop.
2. Get a more compact post with the same drop. OneUp make pretty good posts that are generally shorter than OE posts for a given drop.

Could I also grind off seat to?une like the other person said?

 

[Doomanic]

You could. I wouldn't though, it'll void your warranty.

What I meant was just press the lever and lower the post a bit, like you do on the trail. Or buy a new post.

IMO if the seats too low you can loose control of the bike when things get rough , the seat is a contact point for your thighs and can stabilise things !
DH racers won’t have the seat at its lowest point

Hmmm... that saddle has to go. Get a regular style saddle. Run it far enough forward so that some of your weight is on your butt bones. If you have to tilt the nose of the saddle a little bit downward, do it. Just don't tilt it up. And make sure you're wearing a proper cycling liner. Gotta keep that junk from floppin' around

buy a smaller bike?
