Al I didn't know you cared that much. ..........:kiss:I can bend it for you ... no charge ... good for 90deg uphill corners
See people that's how you run a business. .......

more seriously ... I haven't heard plans of an offset LEV ... I know there is now an offset Internal offering called the CRUXi ... I haven't seen these yet, but its been described to me as an internal routed Dropzone. We've ordered a few due March ...Al I didn't know you cared that much. ..........:kiss:

What Dale said ... Other things to look at.hey guys
Just got a new bike with a KS Lev Integra and the remote is not springing back. I had a look in the instruction manual and it talks about a barrel adjuster. I have had a good look and I cant seem to find a barrel adjuster on the "noodle". Is it going to be just the case of loosing the cable at the remote and trying to get some tension on it and tightening it back up again?
try a KS southpaw if you run 1x ... Otherwise the standard KGRL remote runs with or without shifters, left or right side.what dropper remote best mates up with shimano cockpit?
My understanding is the reverb does not mate up well.
I had the same thing to a lesser extent. Hard for the bike shop to guess exactly where the post will be. So I did a full reinstall. Instructions are on KS site. Easy to do. Mind you I probably cut mine 15mm too short trying to tidy up all the cables/hoses but no problem. Will get a southpaw one of these days anyway.Hey guys
Yep worked out the barrel adjuster, if I do tighten it the remotes slack comes up and it springs back but the post is activated the whole time. I am assuming this is because the cable is pulling the actuator. There does seem to be a fair bit of extra cable inside the frame because even moving it in or out from where it goes into the head tube it effects the way the post is working. I guess coming standard on the bike they don't really know how much post will be inserted into the seat tube so they make it longer. I think I might just have to try and re go over the whole installation and see if I can get it working.
Everything else on the remote/adjuster ect looks normal, also running the OEM clamp
hee heee ... welcome to my world of neglected postsGreat, thanks for that.
Looks like I was lucky enough to score the full shebang on KS dropper rebuild difficulty - post basically cemented into frame, actuator assembly exceptionally well attached to inner shaft, du bushing separation upon removal of cart, and a marginal-rooted DU bushing.
Good Job mate :dance:Turns out I did a pretty good job of pressing the du back into the carrier - there's basically no overlap at the join. I'm worried about the burrs/indentations though, as at least one of them doesn't have a teflon coating where it has deformed. Also, when I test fitted it on the stanchion, the bushing felt looser than I feel it should be/looser than I remembered it upon removal. I think seeing as it's such a cheap part I'll just grab a new one.
I try not to put too much under the DU / top of the rollers, but all depends how neglected the post has been. If we kinda know the rider isn't going to do any maintenance we tend to ladle slicko in there thick to try and get it to stick around for a bit and have a chance to layer on ... but there is a potential short term problem that this causes. If you put too much Slicko the DU + Slicko effectively makes the mast air tight and then you get something like negative compression on a fork ... at about the last inch of travel the air will start compression in the mast and push against the cart ... making it hard to get the last bit of travel and making the post bob in that last bit of travel.Do you guys put any slickoleum around the seating area for the du carrier in the shaft (the black outer the cart slides into)? I was thinking this would make it more likely to pop out as one piece during future rebuilds, but at the same time it needs to stay put and not pop out during normal use of the post
lol ...Al, I've come by an unloved i900. Looks like vertical corrosion lines on the stantion, carrier in so tight I can't budge it.
Is it woth sending in or do I consign it to my MONA inspired modern artwork of munted mountain bike bits and plaster vaginas?
Cheers.
