Is this the new "I just need a crown race tool" ?

I wouldn’t know, is that something you need when you don’t have a hammer?

I did mine with a hammer and a a screwdriver

PVC pipe or gtfo

Chaps; I need to change my dropper post.

I have a 9point8 Fall Line 175mm 31.6mm (the king of dropper posts) and I need a 150mm 31.6mm instead, my stumpy legs and the seat tube on my Capra aren't agreeing with it.

£300 or swap for any other high end 150mm 31.6mm dropper? Anyone interested?

Bike built. I just need a shock pump because I’m pretty sure there’s hardly any air in the fork at the moment. It bottoms out with nearly just my weight on the front.
Anyone got one I can borrow?

Ask @Howard

He LOVES sharing shock pumps!

Not with the great unwashed

It doesn’t suck in!

Come to think of it, my forks haven’t been ridden since they were serviced by the seller. All washed. Lend me a pump k?

Edit: not by the seller himself. He had them done

Dropper post works in the house but doesn’t like outdoors. Goes down but not up. It’s the cold I assume

My Rock Shox Reverb is for sale on my thread here: https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/329617 - if any MTB type is intersted?

Phil might be

but only if it's the 'outdoors' version

Pressure might be too low in it if it's air sprung, temperature should be significantly colder causing contraction this time of year so if the air pressure was just in the lower limit while in toasty surroundings it could not work outdoors? Also might need a bit of grease on the seals.

I don’t think you can change the pressure from factory. It’s a reverb, same as the above save for its aversion to leaving the house.

Reverb needs bled if it is not working in the cold. The one above is cable operated and air sprung, I think. If that was returning slowly it would likely need more air.

I see, no mine is hydro but @platypus had it bled before I bought it I think

yeah was bled a month or so before I sold it to you. then again if it's been sitting around for 6 months maybe would benefit from a bit of tlc

I have one you can borrow if you are in SE London.

Yeah perhaps but then again it’s been in the house, dry and warm :)
I think it just needs a bit of use. I messed around with the adjuster on the trigger thing and it seems to go up and down a bit smoother and quicker now so I’ll see how I get on.

You get real pleasure from this don’t you

cool
