What is a dropper post?
A dropper post, commonly referred to as a dropper, is a replacement for your bicycle’s seat post and allows for quick adjustment of saddle height without requiring you to get off your bike or even stop moving. Most droppers work through cable actuation, although there are a handful of electronic/wireless posts.
How much pressure is in a dropper post?
All dropper posts use a spring to extend the seat upwards. In some posts, this air spring is small and held at relatively high pressure (around 200 – 250 psi). When the post is in the dropped position, that air pressure can be up to 3 times higher.
Why is my dropper post stuck down?

Why does my dropper post go down when I sit on it?
Also like your derailleur, your dropper seat post will have a barrel adjuster near the lever to help make micro-adjustments to your cable tension. If you press the lever of your dropper post and nothing happens (the post either stays up or down), then there is not enough tension on the cable.
How do you fix a dropper post that won’t go up?
If your dropper post is moving without pressing the lever (it won’t stay up as you are riding), then you have too much tension on the cable. You’ll want to REMOVE tension. To do so, turn the barrel adjuster clockwise.
