alright had mine apart for a greasing, few notes:
– main tube with spring full of sharp metal shavings, anyone else? left over from mnfr? weird, didn’t look like anything was missing or worn.
– gonna need new plastic guide blocks at some point, anyone know cheap source?
– height holes (3) are evenly spread and would be easy to add your own. less easy to take them away – ? top and bottom holes chamfered presumably for easy engagement, might do same for middle.
– the rubber boot has a direction, much swearing after getting saddle back on with it half unhooked. hate hate hate this type of saddle clips.
– would like to have to push less far on remote to release, have to look at this next. i guess cable can tightened.
– isn’t rusting as bad as i expected.
– way better than trying to work on a joplin!
