Hairy Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 http://www.pinkbike.com/news/first-look-lindarets-remount-remote-dropper-adapter.html I find this rather exciting and very simple First Look: Lindarets ReMount Remote Dropper AdapterMay 19, 2015by Richard Cunningham Follow Add to Favorites http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb12247544/p5pb12247544.jpgLindarets is a small US manufacturer that offers solutions to common technical problems that mountain bikers face, like Wolf Tooth booster cassette cogs, the Goat Link derailleur extender for Shimano Shadow mechs' and now, ReMount - a clever clamp-on stub that converts most dropper-post remote levers to emulate the action of a trigger shift lever, just like the Specialized SRL lever and the Fox DOSS remote. The "ReMount" does just that, it is a molded-delrin stub, the same diameter as the handlebar, that changes the direction of the lever's actuation by 90 degrees, and more importantly, ReMount allows the dropper remote to be positioned within easy reach of the thumb while being clamped inboard of the brake lever. ReMount users get the freedom to position both the brake lever and the dropper remote exactly where they want them to be. It is one of those, "Why didn't I think of that?" products that should make a lot of riders happy.Remount is made and sourced in the USA, and will operate with most cable-actuated dropper posts. It is designed to operate with a one-by drivetrain, but Lindarets tells us that friends with left-side shift levers have been adapting the ReMount stub with good results. http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb12247540/p5pb12247540.jpghttp://es.pinkbike.org/245/sprt/i/pb-small.png ReMount is molded from tough delrin plastic to the same diameter as a handlebar. The hardware is stainless steel and brass. ReMount's post extension offers 30 millimeters of adjustment and its molded plastic construction is intended to both save weight and to prevent damage to carbon handlebars in the event of a crash. MSRP is $19 USD and the claimed weight is only 20 grams. Lindarets sells them direct from their web store.Contact: Lindarets http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb12247545/p5pb12247545.jpghttp://es.pinkbike.org/245/sprt/i/pb-small.png ReMount with a Thomson Covert dropper remote lever. http://ep1.pinkbike.org/p5pb12247537/p5pb12247537.jpghttp://es.pinkbike.org/245/sprt/i/pb-small.png The Lindarets adapter can also be paired with a left shifter.
NicoBoshoff Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Yup, and after I basically got told to go fly a kite when I asked whether I could get a new version Spaz lever after market, I really hope this comes to SA soon. PS, look after those Spaz levers. Mine broke on Sani2C and apparently you have to buy a whole new kit (lever, cable, grommets etc) for R450. I'm going to use a pop-rivet for 20c.

They also do interesting solutions for 1 x 10 systems, take a look under the products drop down menu on their site. http://www.lindarets.com/
NicoBoshoff Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 Very cool! I reckon that "Make mine an Epic" will sell like hotcakes in SA
Hairy Posted May 19, 2015 Author Posted May 19, 2015 One of these are on the way to me and I will give feedback once it has been taken for a couple of spins on the trail

Why not KS southpaw lever? Available locally and much slicker IMO.
