Thanks for the tips. I managed to find a BySchulz g.2 seatpost for 2.5k imported (60% off sale) from merlincycles.

Hey @RobynE 🚵‍♀️ Have you ever tried the Thudbuster LT? It looks like a solid option. I’m mainly after something that’ll take the sting out of long singletrack or jeep track rides. Those washboard corrugations on gravel absolutely destroy the lower back on a hardtail — and once you’re 70km in, your legs just don’t have the same spring to lift off the saddle anymore. I was actually set on getting the new Suntour post, but it seems everyone’s out of stock at the moment. The Thudbuster LT is a bit of a stretch price-wise, so it’ll mean another month or two of saving… but if it’s really that good, I might just go for it.

Looking for a suspension seatpost like a Suntour SP25 NCX or Thudbuster LT etc. Budget is a few thousand depending on what's available. FYI the local suppliers are out of stock of the Suntour that's why I'm now looking for someone that wants to sell theirs. Seatpost is 31.6mm but I wouldn't be opposed to using a shim if yours is smaller in diameter. 350mm or longer is required.

Bought a press puller. Thanks!

Sorted.

Lost my crank cover ring that allows the 8mm hex bolt to self separate the spindle. is there a screwin tool that'll work locally?

Lost the round threaded disc that screws into the crankset. It's called a self extracting ring or some such. Does anyone know when I can find a replacement. SRAM crankset 20250818_192000.heic

Bought a 29er hardtail recently and loving it, last bike I had was a 26er about a decade ago. Bikes have really come a far way since then, I'm blown away by the ride on the Titan Drone Dash in comparison. Anyway I would like to know if anyone can point me in the direction of a remote lockout mechanism for my fork. Mine has the compression damper crown with a dial. Hoping to be able to put it onto a cable and get some sort of conversion kit to replace the damper dial and make it lever activated. Any advice will be appreciated even if to say it isn't possible.
