The small package may have been better sent by mail than courier as it seemed to get held up at the airport unnecessarily long.
I needed an HG freehub for my Vel 28RL wheels from Sigma. The original freehubs aren't very tough and suffer from gouging. I read online that the Nukeproof Horizon v2 freehub fits. I asked Ascend if t... See more

Excellent end‑to‑end customer service provided by professionals
Bought my son a full‑sus mountain bike and wanted to upgrade it with a dropper post. Ascend stood out for value, but I didn’t yet have the bike measurements needed for their sizing tool. Their support team replied almost immediately with the exact options and a clear recommendation.
Ordering was effortless, the post arrived the next day, and installation was easy. My son loves it. Excellent product and genuinely outstanding customer service.
Thank you.
A great company to deal with
Ordered brake pads and valves. Very efficient process and was notified of Order status. Order came in less than 48 hrs. Highly recommend brake pads and valves work great.
Arrived at the Ascend Mix and Match headset - A complete delight
Arrived at the Ascend Components via a recco from SPA Cycles, as I sought to resolve a Fork and Headset compatibility problem - Their mix and match sets of components were a treat to use, beautifully made, fitted perfectly and importantly were accurately described with dimensions etc. Consequently, all went together as it should - Thanks to British made engineering :-))
5 star doesn’t do this dropper post…
5 star doesn’t do this dropper post justice, excellent build quality, smooth action and delivery was within 48 hours
Excellent product
We have two Ascend dropper posts, one with an internal cable, and one with an external cable routing. They are both fantastic, well designed, well built and work really well.
The older one of the two has been bullet proof and gets well tested by my 13 year old son who is always on his bike.
We had a small issue with a cable on the newer post. I got in touch with Ascend for some advice and they instantly got back to me and offered to sort the problem.
This was done extremely quickly. You really can’t beat their product or customer service and I would recommend the dropper posts to anyone.

Flight External Dropper Seatpost × 1 30.9 / 150 - 3 month review
This is a fantastic dropper post. I bought it for my 11yo son and it's fitted to a 24" mtb. The action is very smooth and is working beautifully after 3 months of pretty constant use. The unit is far superior to the stock Bontrager post that's on my Trek Fuel.
Highly, highly recommended. Great quality, great price, great customer service and quick delivery. Thanks Ascend, great product.
Fantastic customer service
Fantastic customer service. They made sure that the components I ordered were delivered ASAP in time for my boys birthday MTB adventure. Thank you so much Ascend Components!
