Stuart Kernaghan's got his hands on Crank Bros' new dropper post, and he's going to try his best to destroy it.

Ha!. I'm actually hoping that this one will work for them. First dates with CB stuff are always good. It's like going on a date with a really hot woman, only to find out later that she's actually a man and has been tucking it all along.

if they don't offer an upgrade path for existing Joplin owners, they're not going to sell many.. I sure as hell won't be buying one, and don't care if it works or not.

yea, i was thinking the same thing..

to just leave the original purchasers out in the cold would be a pretty big slap in the face.

clarklewis - still fine as of 8:07 a.m. today, but I haven't ridden it since yesterday. Will post daily status updates, if that would help you deal with your apparent anxiety disorder.

OK so the shaft has flat sides. How does a round seal work? Or is the seal not round? Does it simply flex around the squared off corner of the flat sided shaft?

^that was my first thought - recipe for short seal life. however, i read somewhere it was a proprietary seal w/ the flats moulded in. the serrations on the shaft look like they'd add additional wear & help pull contamination inside though.

You can use o-rings to seal a flat side object but the o-ring manufacturers have a minimum bend radius for each o-ring diameter & material.
