Abstract: A dropper seatpost assembly is disclosed. The dropper seatpost assembly includes a lower post comprising a travel adjustment bore, an upper post configured to interactively operate with respect to the lower post, and a translating assembly configured to maintain an orientation of the upper post with respect to the lower post. The dropper seatpost assembly includes a first top out path with a first travel length and a second top out path, wherein the second top out path is distinct from the first top out path and wherein the second top out path provides a modified travel length different than the first travel length.

Abstract: A dropper seatpost assembly is disclosed. The dropper seatpost assembly includes a lower post comprising a travel adjustment bore and an upper post configured to interactively operate with respect to the lower post. The dropper seatpost assembly also includes a translating assembly configured to maintain one or both of an axial orientation and a rotational orientation of the upper post with respect to the lower post and at least one travel adjustment spacer removably coupled with the travel adjustment bore, the at least one travel adjustment spacer to interact with the translating assembly to reduce a maximum travel distance of the interactive operation of the upper post with respect to the lower post.

Abstract: A pressure balanced valve with integral pressure relief function is disclosed. The pressure relief valve includes a cap with an opening therein, a plunger configured to fill the opening in the cap, and a spring configured to hold the plunger against the cap. The pressure relief valve providing a fluid pathway through a piston, wherein the fluid pathway extends between a first fluid chamber and a second fluid chamber and provides a bypass for fluid to flow from the second fluid chamber to the first fluid chamber when a pressure of a fluid in the second fluid chamber is above a blow-off pressure of the pressure relief valve.
