i have just gone out to kick my bike over as i am going out for a nice boxing day ride hopefully when i look it off the peg and i normally rest the seat on my waist to aid getting it down and it just lower just under its own weight it has never done it before but lately it has been in the spare bedroom and just moved in the garage last night anyone else had the same??
it is currently in front of the fire warming up
Merry Christmas !!!!
My KS I900 has problems when the temp gets really below zero, very slow to come back up and does not always stay up, but its usually -5degs and below. +5degs and above its been perfect.
it has has been around -8 on a night. i just wanted to be sure that it isn't any thing else 8)
My remote lever/cable sometimes freezes and the post just goes down, I pull the small lever on top of the post it then locks ok, I find were the cable connects I have to keep this area clean and lubed and I have taken to putting a large blob of copper grease over the lever and connection, this helps to keep the dirt out and the water, the cables is like your gears, I strip and lube it once a month, but if I leave it a couple of months thats when things start to go wonky, but the cold has a big effect on my post, I'm guessing the oil etc goes sluggish through any valves/pistons etc. I rode in -13 a couple of weeks ago and it was playing up, not returning until I pulled it up.
Mine worked fine at -8 the other day.
yes

My Joplin 3 just refuses to rise when it gets very cold. I'm guessing that this is a "feature" of hydraulic seatposts as I never had the problem with my Gravity Dropper.
Its not just the Joplins, Spesh command post too.
See....
these dropper post's must be designed by southerns !!!!! and fair weather riders ( looks like my spare seat is going in the bag for tomorrows ride 😈
My I950 remote cable freezes. Makes you realise how useful they are when you can't use it..
