That rack is a real head scratcher.
Thereâs got to be a better way.

I have my own Polyvalent of that same generation and TC Iâm still kinda envious of yours.
Iâve had good luck with KS. The one on my single speed is 125mm travel and has zero keyway slop. Itâs been great. Itâs a bit better than the 27.2 TransX on my old Ritchey. They both work fine, but the KS feels a bit more âqualityâ so long as weâre not focused on the plastic hbar lever, which is also fine. Itâs just not purple ano.

On the cargo bike seatpost options, whoâs doing good quality custom seatposts these days? I need something long and strong for my lonhjohn. The current post is a little too short, and Iâve had no luck finding a stock 30.9 thatâs actually 450mm of tube, not to top of clamp head (have bought a couple that misreprented themselves, which is sad; I expect more from storied brands like Aimulcagn and Sretepbor).
When I explored this a few months ago, I found out droppers probably wouldnât work because thereâs limited space in the frame for the dropper to drop. This was not a brilliantly designed part of this bike.
i like my pnw ranier 27.2. itâs internal so i had to drill baby drill and iâm okay with that

I bet Swood for Vat Fot could fab you up a bespoke steel thing.

Has anyone used one of them crotch release posts? They seem unusable for actual mountain biking but might be just the ticket for stoplights on a cargo bike. Cheaper too!

if the goal is making it easier to navigate the world with a bunch of heavy crap on your bike, taking your hand off seems counterproductive. good for a shared bike tho

Yeah I have this and used it for the cargo bike purpose.
I didnât want another lever shitting up my narrow fixie bars and pubes had it for sale so it was an easy purchase.
Itâs fine I guess
This. My shitty KS e-10 is starting to shit the bed and I have to grab it at the saddle to get the last 10mm I have to pull up the saddle. Itâs not the end of the world, but compared to just using a remote it totally sucks.
I have this on the Bullitt and itâs still a little awkward even for stoplights, I never bother with it.
Itâs primarily for adjusting to different rider heights.
Okee dokee, I bought a KS with a remote. Thanks for the input everyone!

I use the KS one with the crotch lever on our Bullitt and itâs ok enough for me, but I also donât know any better/havenât used any other droppers.
I had a crotch lever dropper on an mtb. It was fun in a stupid a way but wouldnât be fun on harder trails.
itâs an easier hite rite
judging you allâŚ
