Interesting, is there no valve at all to top up on the new ones? I’ve had to on an old one a few times but otherwise it’s been faultless (3 years)
My post wasnt 100% correct, 170mm still have the valve, 120mm / 150mm do not.

1) A brake cable doesnt fit the actuator, im going to file down the barrel on the cable, although if thats too fidly it might be easier to file out the actuator.
Surely its a gear cable you should be using, not a brake cable? The head of a gear cable should fit the actuator on the post.
2) No air valve under the saddle clamp, just a nylocked nut (presumably on some internal shaft). Wonder if that means its a coil spring? The post weighs 525g without the cable or remote so not a y heavier than expected?
Probably just a sealed cartridge and the nut is holding the top of the cartridge in place.
