The Wolf Tooth ReMote Light Action is a cable actuated dropper post lever with a longer lever arm for a lighter push. This version comes with a 22.2 mm hinged handlebar clamp.

What it's for

This is a thumb lever that replaces the stock remote on a cable actuated dropper post. It sits under the left side of the bar where a front shifter used to go. The Light Action version has a longer lever than the standard ReMote, so it takes less thumb force. Wolf Tooth recommends it for posts that pull hard and for riders with thumb injuries or reduced hand strength.

How it works

Longer lever: The Light Action lever is 57.1 mm long, compared with 46.3 mm on the standard ReMote. Wolf Tooth says that is 25% longer and cuts the force at your thumb by about one third.

Bearing pivot: The lever turns on a 21 mm sealed cartridge bearing.

Cable fixing at the lever: The cable is clamped at the remote, not at the post. Use it with droppers that hold the cable head at the post end.

Barrel adjuster: Cable slack is taken up at the lever.

Breakaway axle: The pivot axle is made to break away in a crash to protect the lever. Wolf Tooth sells replacement axles.

Compatibility

• Handlebar: 22.2 mm clamp area (standard mountain bike bars)
• Dropper posts named by Wolf Tooth: Thomson, Fox Transfer, Race Face, Easton, and 9point8. Wolf Tooth describes the Light Action as suited to posts with a harder cable pull.
• How to check yours: Your dropper must be cable actuated, and the cable head must anchor at the post so the free end can be clamped at the lever.

Setup and installation

• Handlebar clamp bolt torque: 1 to 2 N·m maximum
• Cable: Back the cable clamp screw out 2 to 3 mm with a 2.5 mm hex, feed the cable through the housing, barrel adjuster, and groove, then tighten.
• Cable clamp screw torque: 1 to 2 N·m
• Lever position: Loosen the lateral adjustment screw with a 3 mm hex, slide the lever where you want it, then tighten.
• Lateral adjustment screw torque: 1 to 2 N·m
• Slack: Use the barrel adjuster to remove cable slack after the cable is clamped.
