Dropper Posts: Things are hotting up

[Bomberman]

Where did you pick up a gaslift cylinder thingy for R20?

 

Oh I see, the wooden block would serve as base, and you'd cut that to size.  Clever.

 

Still not ideal riding at speed one hand off the bar, but still very nifty solution.

No not ideal but you get the hang of it after a few rides, I got it from a scrap dealer. It took a while to find the correct one, you need to look for one that's a bit "pap".

It's the remote that's new. when it was originally released / publicized it had one of those thumb levers like the KS, except better... I remember reading that they were just finalizing the design of a shifter-type lever...

Styling though. Especially the Raceface with its colours and the stanchion's ribbed effect.

But I just like the word Haven so much more than Turbine

Absolutely. That's why I don't own a cellphone and only use a landline.
