PNW Components has launched the second-generation Loam Dropper Post with updated travel options, improved internals, and continued focus on serviceability—all at a competitive $229 MSRP. The refreshed post builds on what riders liked about the original: an affordable, adjustable design that’s easy to maintain and adaptable to a wide range of riders and bikes.

The new Loam Dropper Gen 2 introduces a 225mm travel option, answering the call for longer drop posts for longer-legged riders. The Loam 2 features an updated version of PNW’s tool-free travel adjust system, which allows riders to reduce travel by up to 25mm in 5mm increments—meaning the 225mm version can be dialed down to 200mm, and so on.

Riders can easily fine-tune drop length by unthreading the post’s top cap by hand, rotating the internal shim to the desired setting, and threading the cap back into place. The entire process takes less than a minute and doesn’t require tools.
Easier to Service, Built to Last

One of the most significant changes is the shift to a new dual-chamber sealed cartridge.
Internal improvements also target long-term performance. The new cartridge uses a dual-chamber sealed design that remains user-serviceable and doesn’t require special tools or nitrogen refills. This setup allows riders to perform maintenance at home using standard tools, swapping the cartridge in a matter of minutes.
To reduce unwanted saddle play, PNW increased the number of brass anti-rotation keys from three to four. Two Teflon pins have also been added to minimize side-to-side movement while maintaining smooth travel.
PNW continues to emphasize durability and rider self-sufficiency, with service guides and spare parts readily available through its website. The post is also backed by a lifetime warranty.

The Loam Gen 2 retains the short insertion depth and overall length that made the original a good fit for a wide range of bikes, including those with interrupted seat tubes. It’s available in 30.9mm, 31.6mm, and 34.9mm diameters, and works with all standard cable-actuated dropper levers, including PNW’s own Loam Lever, which is also offered in a classy silver option to match the post.
