    Abstract: A dropper post assembly for supporting a bicycle seat can include an outer tube and an inner tube telescopically receivable in the outer tube and slidable within the outer tube between a retracted position in which a lower end of the inner tube is proximate a lower end of the outer tube and an extended position in which the lower end of the inner tube is axially spaced from the lower end of the outer tube. An actuator assembly may include an actuator body having a mounting portion connected to the lower end of the outer tube and a cartridge rod receiving portion and may be configured so that when the inner tube is in the retracted position at least the upper surface of the cartridge rod receiving portion is nested within the inner tube.

    Abstract: There is described a bicycle seat post assembly in which the travel distance of the seat post can be adjusted. The seat post assembly includes an outer tube that is configured to telescopically receive an inner tube. The inner tube is axially slidable relative to the outer tube between a retracted position and an extended position, the extended position being determined by an extension assembly in which an inner contact member engages an outer contact member, thereby setting the upper limit of axial extension of the inner tube. The extension of the inner tube can be limited to an intermediate position that lies between the retracted and extended positions by an insertable shim that is positionable between the inner and outer contact members.

    Abstract: A dropper post assembly can include an outer tube and an inner tube with a lower end that is within the outer tube and include a tube engagement. A spring cartridge assembly can include: a cartridge tube providing a cylinder; a piston movably received within the cylinder to provide a first chamber a lower side of the piston and a second chamber between the piston; a cartridge rod; and a second engagement member configured to releasably engage the tube engagement member thereby fastening the cartridge tube to the lower end of the inner tube so that the cartridge tube is axially fixed to the inner tube and movable with the inner tube relative to the outer tube.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a bicycle tool storage device mountable in a bicycle headset assembly and/or a bicycle pump. A top cap for loading a headset assembly and mounting the device is also provided. The top cap includes an annular body and a device receiving aperture extending through the body. The top cap includes a flange extending radially outwardly from a first end of the body and a ridge defined in an inner surface of the body adjacent to the flange. The ridge is concentrically aligned with the aperture for retaining the device. Further still, a bicycle pump for mounting the device is provided. The pump includes a pump body, a handle, a pump head, and a flange. The pump body houses a plunger and a piston. The plunger and handle define a cavity for receiving the device. The handle further defines a flange for retaining the device.

    Abstract: A dropper post assembly for supporting a bicycle seat may have an outer tube and an inner tube having a clearance portion and an upper end that includes an inward facing axial stop surface that defines a laterally extending abutment plane. A spring cartridge assembly has a cartridge cross-sectional that is less than 90% of the interior cross-sectional area of the clearance portion. A lower engagement member is disposed toward a lower end of the inner tube and substantially fills a lateral between lower end of the cartridge tube and the inner tube. A post head member has a front fastening aperture, a lowermost part of which lies in a laterally extending post head plane that is disposed axially inboard from the abutment plane.
