Really?! Have you looked at the guts mechanism, you have the upper and lower cradles which run in teeth in the seatpost body.

Loosen it all off, push the lower cradle up and rotate it round by one tooth, do the same with the upper. Tighten. Shred.

Actually yeah... maybe I didn't turn the upper enough. You know me, completely floored by most things mechanical.

I sent Mark Noble an email and he sent a very nice one back... not sure my bike will make it onto the deluxe site though. The big gearing, lack of brake, and maxxis rear tyre probably cost it.

Big gearing - very trails. Almost/is cool nowadays to have larger chainrings, retro!

Brakeless - Alex Dropsy, the original French trails rider.

Maxis - Yeah, you're screwed on that one.
