Like a demented Rodeo-cowboy trying to get the thing to raise and drop.

Will servicing it help or should I just BIN?

Its a royal PITA. Great when it works then you spend circa 10mins riding on it fully depressed as it wont raise again.

Mine's fine. But to be fair you don't have the best rep on STW for telescopic objects constructed from overlapping tubes, do you Hora? 😉 :mrgreen:

They were £60 and this is a rare-find compared to the likes of £180 jobbies nowadays.
