Yea the cover can work loose- i just use a mini zip tie.<br />Will check out the plastic isolator info-- didnt know about that. <br />Probably easy enuf to DIY something to cover afterwards if really need be. Yea that string bit was something I wondered whether would last the lifespan of the post. anvil_denhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00784730146029280073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6920373943845459157.post-53031359192562354362012-12-05T15:01:45.636+08:002012-12-05T15:01:45.636+08:00Just an update to share, I've gotten the post ...Just an update to share, I've gotten the post back GHC but it was actually a botched repair, cos the lever couldn't activate the post because the inner kevlar string was far too long, plus whoever fixed the post scratched up the post, probably with a bench vice, at the junction box area. In the end, after much haranguing, GHC gave the green light to C2C to give me a new post from a new batch as a replacement. According to KS, there's a plastic isolator that's supposed to be in the barrel pinching the Kevlar string that the "claw" attaches to that prevents scoring of the Kevlar string causing the string to eventually slip off. This plastic isolator comes with all the new batches. <br /><br />Btw, the plastic barb's other "job" is also to hold the junction box's red cover in place to prevent it from dropping off somewhere in the trails...bbzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04520139120890189949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6920373943845459157.post-55701156099400486542012-11-06T12:38:21.886+08:002012-11-06T12:38:21.886+08:00Really looking forward to see how this works long ...Really looking forward to see how this works long term for you...may finally send in my i950r....let's hope it lasts longer than two weeks this time. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06152063152063077765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6920373943845459157.post-61040778026444272592012-10-10T12:20:49.517+08:002012-10-10T12:20:49.517+08:00[UPDATED]--10/10/12[UPDATED]--10/10/12anvil_denhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00784730146029280073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6920373943845459157.post-85205913321840356972012-10-09T11:29:15.759+08:002012-10-09T11:29:15.759+08:00Hi. thanks./ Looks like I botched up right there.....Hi. thanks./ Looks like I botched up right there.. ie reverse the direction of that hooked piece! :)<br /><br />Will rejig the thign tonite...

If the cable housing is inside of it there is no way to get any dirt or dust into the cable housing or inside “that little actuation box“, which is o-ring sealed. It also holds the cable housing securely without benefit of the additional zip tie and washer upgrade.<br /><br />Nice job on the Joplin remote. I mounted the KS remote right above my shifter and I use my thumb very comfortably to operate it. It’s feels like another paddle above the 2 shifter paddles.

But basically, it's the inner cable that's attached to the silver barrel that's in turn attached to the "claw" that's in turned attached to the remote cable, that snapped. This is the Kevlar thread that's in that actuation box, that transfers cable action to activate the actuator at the bottom of the post. bbzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04520139120890189949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6920373943845459157.post-90634798074358857532012-10-06T16:39:37.056+08:002012-10-06T16:39:37.056+08:00If u meant the barrel adjuster snapped after a cra...If u meant the barrel adjuster snapped after a crash... happened to me before on the i950.
