Pre-Order

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.

The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

We estimate this will be ready for despatch to you or collection via Click & Collect on Undetermined

Cancelled / Refunded Orders Prior to Despatch

Occassionally our site will state that a particular item is in stock & avaible for despatch, when in fact it isnt. This is a unfortunate feature of our ecommerce system & the way our supplier SIM's operate and is beyond our control. As a result your order may be cancelled without prior notice if a solution cannot be found in good time. When this happens we will endevour to issue you a full refund as quickly as possible. Please check your emails for notifications on the status of your order. We will accept no responsibilty for emails dropping into spam folders or going un-noticed.

Should you need to return any products to us then you will be responsible for the cost of the postage. A returns form can be downloaded usling the link below. Once completed please include it in the returning package. On receiving the products we will carry out an inspection and should we find that it was in anyway our fault or the product was faulty then we will happily refund you the cost of the postage. Naturally should we believe it not to be our fault then we may choose not to refund any postage and may choose to claim costs of packaging for returning the products to yourself.

The product will be inspected against “reason for return” before any refund or replacement is posted out / made. Please note that will we only pay collection fees on warranty items unless agreed otherwise. Please ensure receipts are forwarded to us with the return where possible.

Ultimate USE Helix 30.9 165mm Dropper Post

Season:2020

Brand:USe

Code:ulthehelix309165a

Ultimate USE always brings a product to market that is innovative and provides a genuine advantage to the rider. The Helix 2.0 takes all the benefits of the Helix and raised the bar in its effectiveness. Fundamentally simple, the British made Helix avoids the issues associated with air & oil systems. Utilising a helical shaft, its clutch is activated with a custom made, "mount anywhere", remote lever, allowing it to freely rise, fall and lock at any height.

Maximum drop of 165mm available.

USE has never taken a product to market that is not an innovative design providing a genuine advantage to the rider. Various design concepts were investigated but USE was never satisfied that it had a design that surpassed other brands; until the ‘Helix’ post.

The Helix design is fundamentally mechanical avoiding issues that plague other designs associated with air and oil pressure. Simplicity results in reliability.

Our post utilises a helix spindle that has to rotate when the post compresses or extends. A clutch is activated to enable the spindle to rotate freely or become locked, at any height. A simple solution to deal with the demands of todays riders.

Available in 125mm and 165mm versions, the post is activated with our custom designed lever, with multiple fitting options and almost infinite adjustment to suit.
