    Product Review Brand X Ascend II dropper post and remote

    My Brand x dropper is slow to return to full extension.. Would this just be air pressure, as it hasnt seen much use? The link to the race face one shows a air valve at the top of the post. I presume this is to add air pressure to adjust the return speed?

Dad passed away this year so these presents are basically from Dad( and his house sale). My previous bike was a 2011 Stumpjumper and my previous car was a 2001 forester. So...
