I bought the Joplin Seat Post off Trade Me for $50.00, so the first step, was to strip it and replace the worn parts, clean and reassemble. |
Reassembled and tested...all set for modification to take DIY remote. |
I wanted to make it an internal mechanism, so that dirt couldn't get in. I cut a slot into the front of the post, to accommodate the lever I was making. |
Rear view of slot. |
Small lever manufactured & ready for install. |
Lever installed. |
I had drilled a hole to allow for cable, making sure I aligned it with the lever. |
Made up a boot out of an old tube, to keep out the mud. |
Made up a remote trigger out of aluminium off-cuts & an adjuster off an old derailleur. |
Installed...works perfectly. |
Installed trigger. |
