Buy a better bike car 🙄
DP
Got rid when I got rid of the FS. Have tried one on the SIR.9 but it made the ride too stiff.
Also, it was an older GD & it was a faff if I'm honest. I kept forgetting to drop the bloomin thing. Also, the remote was truly truly awful. Like operating a Chinese death spinner.
I've had a quick go on a mates bike with a remote Reverb & that was 100% better.
If I bought a new frame that took a Reverb, & more importantly it didn't compromise the ride quality, I'd get one; but the Niner is 27.2 & obviously, it was defying the laws of physics to try & design a version of the Reverb into [i]that[/i] size.
*spits out sour grapes*

For Nickdavies- some KS posts have a quick release cable, designed for your problem (though, tbh mine come out easily enough anyway with the post dropped)
KS lev do a 27.2mm, had mine fitted to my Hummer with a 27.2 shim for ages now, not a problem.

Very neat design, the cable doesn't sag like the reverb hose does, the cable to seatpost attachment point is very well sealed with an alloy cap and o-ring so nae crud can drop down the cable housing and the entry point can be at the back/front/side/wherever you like as the top of the seatpost clamp can rotate round. It's shown on the side on the above pic for illustration purposes only, i now have it towards the front of the post
I fit Fox DOSS, Rockshox Reverb and Crank Bros Kronologs on bikes at work and could use any of them (with corresponding shim) for trade/cost price but i paid full full price from H-bike germany for the KS, i feel it's a superior design with superior lever that fits my ODI Troy Lee grips and i've not had any probs with it at all...unlike all of the others i've listed above.
