Needed an adapter as I had a new Fox dropper due to a warranty replacement. Works as described.
The quality and build of this item is very high, the manufacture, fitment and the workings of it is very precise. The company says its a game changer and that it is, with a big plus. I was so impressed that I placed an order for a 2 position, for my hardtail. I can hardly wait for you to think up a new innovation. Thanking you, Rod Mallett
After having the V1 on my last bike. When I upgraded bikes I decided to upgrade switch grades. All thought I coulda have ran the V1 as it is amazing! I truly enjoy the Aenomaly crew and want to A) support a great biz/people B) test out their next gen parts. I have not been let down. The 2.0 Evo is incredible as well. A worthy buy for anyone that is climbing hills so they can rock the descents. If you debating. Don’t. But this thing!
Works great with my Tioga undercover stratum saddle with oval carbon rails.
The switch grade is a great looking little device. It’s CNC’d beautifully and looks fantastic, well built. Installation is fairly straightforward, the hardware is good quality. I run a 29r frame with mix wheels, the slack seat tube left me wanting some seat angle adjustment and this thing fit my needs quite well.
Absolutely! I sometimes find myself grinding up several 10 mile 5-7% grades over 100+ mile rides and having the ability to easily change my saddle angle has significantly reduced pressure on the the front of the saddle and improves performance and outlook on life while completing century plus days!
Ordering process was perfect as well as the delivery. SwitchGrade is easy to install, and the general quality is excellent. Operation becomes second nature after the first couple of rides. Climbing for a long time is much more comfortable. I need longer climbs to see if my backache is gone or not, though.
Well done!
Es gibt Dinge welche man nicht vermisst, bis man das erste mal von ihnen hört.
Und ich habe davon gehört, es geordert und möchte es nicht mehr hergeben. Steilere Bergauf Passagen sind damit viel angenehmer zu fahren. Man sitzt durch die Umstellung des Sattels wesentlich aufrechter, was nicht nur angenehmer ist, sondern auch für mehr druck in die Pedale sorgt beim Bergauffahren.
Für die Bergabfahrt benötige es nicht, dank versengbarer Sattelstütze. Aber da nutze ich es gerne mal auf der geraden, um einfach ein wenig anders zu sitzen.
Ja das ganze ist nicht günstig incl. Zoll nach Deutschland, aber was tut man nicht alles für das Hobby und einen besseren Komfort. Und ein Blickfang ist man auch noch, wenn man den Sattel umstellt, da es noch so gut wie niemand kennt ;)
Install is straightforward, adjustment is easy to make, swapping saddles is even easier now. Makes climbing feel like I’m on flat ground, 100% worth it
Really does improve the enjoyment of riding and the construction and finish are first class. If I could offer a suggestion for future versions it would be great if the lever tapered at the front so it doesn’t interfere with saddle rails. I’ve had to run my saddle a tiny bit further forward than I’d like because the lever touches the rails under the nose.
Took me a bit to find the correct way to install it based on my post and seat. But now it’s dialed and I wouldn’t go back to normal seat position this thing has decreased my climbing times by great deal and the downs are even better with more consistent feel
It aroused enthusiasm from the very first tour. It has never been so pleasant to ride up a slope and the workmanship is really first class 👍
Build quality is excellent and easy to install. Really like the neutral setting for long relatively flat rides. Haven’t noticed a big difference in the downhill position, but I don’t do extreme downhill stuff. I do notice the improvement using the climbing position. Can be a bit tricky moving from climbing to neutral and not jumping all the way to downhill while moving, but sure that will come with more use. Overall, very satisfied with purchase.
Habe es auch für mein 2tes Bike bestellt weil ich nicht mehr ohne die Berge hoch fahren möchte mehr Kraft in den Beinen und nichts schläft mehr ein !
Very happy on quality of this product, high level of machining. I run my Switchgrade on a fat bike which is aimed at climb everywhere in every condition, so it makes sense increasing comfort while climbing thanks to Aenomaly product !
Parfait pour bien placer son poids sur le vélo dans les montées tout en gardant le dos droit comme sur le plat , j'aurais dû mal à revenir en arrière
It's a great innovation with lots of promise (hence 4 stars) but not perfect yet. On extremely steep climbs - ones that I'd normally have to walk - it provides phenomenal levels of power and traction. But for 95% of climbs in the UK (or 95% of any given long climb), 10 degrees of tilt is way too much - worse than 0 degrees. (Same goes for descending, which usually includes some flatter pedally sections, but that doesn't matter so much with a dropper post.) It is also hard to switch while riding on steep/rough ground, so I can't just tilt it for the short sections of a climb/descent where it would be beneficial. I would love to see a version with about 5 degree increments between the positions (which would allow 2 climbing positions, 2 descending positions, or one of each), and/or an easier way of switching (e.g. a bar remote). Also, with my saddle (Reform Tantalus) the lever fouls the rails if I slide it back more than half way, so I have to run the saddle further forward than I'd like, which exacerbates the tilt issue. I'll try a different saddle, but a lever that is both longer and lower might help with compatibility issues and make switching easier. I look forward to future versions of the Switchgrade!
With a shorter post, because of my size, it’s a super nice Feature to get my sattle a little lower and great more room to move my body over the bike! Perfect finish and clean look!
Also the delivery was super fast and without any issues!
pratica e si adatta meglio sui percorsi conosciuti con lunghe salite - su su e giù sufficiente la sola regolazione del telescopico mantenendo la sella orizzontale
I couldn’t believe how much this device changed my sensations going uphill!!
