Abstract: A dropper seatpost assembly is disclosed. The assembly includes an upper post and a lower post having a tubular geometry, the lower post telescopically coupled with the upper post to form a length adjustable seatpost. An actuator located within the length adjustable seatpost, the actuator to allow or restrict a telescopic movement of the length adjustable seatpost. The actuator including an actuator interface configured to couple with a control cable that provides input to the actuator. At least one cutout in a sidewall of the lower post, the at least one cutout to provide access to the actuator interface of the actuator.

Abstract: An IFP is disclosed. The IFP includes a sealing channel formed axially about an outer diameter (OD), the sealing channel including at least two walls where the at least two walls of the sealing channel having a smaller OD than an inner diameter (ID) of a chamber and a channel is formed between the at least two walls. The IFP also includes an anti-tipping feature fixedly coupled with at least a portion of one wall of the sealing channel, the anti-tipping feature increasing a length of the IFP.

Abstract: An extended seatpost saddle clamp nut for a saddle rail clamp assembly is disclosed. The saddle rail clamp assembly includes an upper saddle rail clamping portion having at least one opening therein, the upper saddle rail clamping portion rotatably coupled with a housing. A lower saddle rail clamping portion located between the upper saddle rail clamping portion and the housing. A fastening system having an extended seatpost saddle clamp nut at least partially within the at least one opening of the upper saddle rail clamping portion and a fastener at least partially within a fastener opening of the housing. The fastener to couple with the extended seatpost saddle clamp nut to compressively couple the upper saddle rail clamping portion with the lower saddle rail clamping portion to retain a saddle rail therebetween. The extended seatpost saddle clamp nut does not decrease a saddle bottom-to-dropper seatpost standoff distance, and the saddle rail clamp assembly minimizes a required length of the fastener.

Abstract: A dropper seatpost head assembly is disclosed. The assembly includes a lower post for insertion into a seat tube of a vehicle and an upper post having a housing coupled at one end thereof, the upper post to telescopically slide with respect to the lower post to form a dropper seatpost. The assembly also includes a saddle rail clamp assembly having a lower saddle rail clamping portion rotatably coupled with the housing and an upper saddle rail clamping portion to couple with the lower saddle rail clamping portion to form a clamping structure. The lower saddle rail clamping portion having a drooped shape such that the lower saddle rail clamping portion and the clamping structure hang down in a plane that intersects at least a portion of the housing.
