Depending on the amount of use and riding conditions, a shorter maintenance interval may be necessary in order to ensure a smooth function of your BikeYoke seatpost!
To provide full return speed and smooth drop feel, your remote should have a least 10 mm of cable pull for REVIVE, REVIVE MAX and DIVINE, and at least 5 mm of cable pull for DIVINE SL and SL RASCAL.

IMPORTANT: Do not grease the saddle clamp bolts. Can I lift my bike on the saddle? It is acceptable for BikeYoke droppers to carefully lift the bike on the saddle. Is it okay to use t-bar lifts with my BikeYoke seatpost? Bikeyoke generally advises against using t-bar lifts.
