Product Information

Full details

The Wolf Tooth ReMote Light Action (LA) dropper lever is designed for mountain bikers who prefer a feather-light actuation feel or those using dropper posts with stiff return springs. By utilizing a longer lever arm, it reduces the force required to drop your post by a full third compared to standard remotes. While this provides superior ergonomics and modulation, users should ensure they have adequate handlebar real estate to accommodate the slightly longer throw of the lever arm.

FAQs

Does this work with my hydraulic dropper post?

No, the ReMote LA is designed exclusively for cable-actuated mechanical dropper posts.

Is the breakaway axle replaceable?

Yes, the breakaway axle is a replaceable part designed to fail before the lever body does in the event of a crash.

What is the primary difference between the standard ReMote and the LA version?

The LA version features a longer lever arm, which provides more leverage and reduces the force needed to actuate the post by 33%.

Can I use this with my Shimano IS-EV brake?

Yes, this specific version is designed for Shimano IS-EV integration, allowing for a clean, clutter-free cockpit.

Do I need to grease the bearing?

The cartridge bearing is sealed, so it requires no internal maintenance or greasing.

How do I adjust cable tension?

Use the integrated barrel adjuster on the remote body to add or remove cable tension while on the bike.

Troubleshooting

Dropper post is slow to return

Check your cable tension using the barrel adjuster; if too tight, the post may be partially engaged. Also, verify that your housing does not have tight bends.

Lever feels loose or has play

Ensure the clamping screw is tight and the mounting hardware to your handlebar/brake clamp is torqued correctly.

Cable is fraying at the lever

The ReMote LA uses a custom clamping screw to prevent this; ensure the cable is routed cleanly through the machined path and not crushed by improper tightening.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly lower actuation force compared to standard levers
  • Extremely smooth operation thanks to the oversized cartridge bearing
  • High-quality construction with replaceable breakaway axle for crash protection
  • Easy cable maintenance due to the upfront fixing design

Cons

  • Requires more handlebar space than short-throw levers
  • The longer lever arm may require more thumb movement to engage
  • Not compatible with hydraulic dropper posts

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The ReMote LA is compatible with almost all cable-actuated dropper posts. When installing, ensure the cable is routed without sharp bends to maximize performance. To install, secure the cable housing to the lever, insert your inner cable, and tighten the custom clamp screw to secure it in place. Use the built-in barrel adjuster to remove slack until the post engages immediately upon pressing the lever. For maintenance, keep the cable clean and occasionally apply a light lubricant to the pivot point. If the lever ever feels gritty, verify that the cable housing ends are cut clean and seated fully in the ferrules.
