This video saved me alot of doe. Still using my Command Post upto now...
And likewise, mine is on its third bike!
Stravaiging MTB we went to the trails just this morning here in Singapore. Bukit Timah trails, still using it on my hardtail..
Overall a good concise video EXCEPT... NEVER, EVER LET YOUR COMMAND POST POP UP UNIMPEDED LIKE YOU SHOW! This is how you break the “teeth” off of the collet- no surprise your collet has a few missing! I learned this the hard way and replacement collets are not easy to come by where I live. Always have your butt or your hand slow the rise before it hits the collet (stop point).
Yeah the poor expanding collet doesn't dig it, nether does your nut sack.
This is exactly what I needed for my Specialized FSR stump jumper 2018. Thank you 😊👍🏽
Thanks for the short concise vid that was only as long as it had to be.
Your Welcome!
Thanks, after watching I snagged a strap wrench and did my own. Post is working much better!
It a surprisingly easy post to service, glad yours is working better now too.
Well done.
It was very fast & easy to service, this post.
My RF Turbine's need full service, the brake no longer work, one the foam ring split in 2.
The seal on this guy is just a rubber dust seal with no foam ring, the lack of rebound dampening ont he return means it kicks like a mule if your weight isn't on the seat when you try and raise it back up though!
There is an amazing discussion regarding this seat post. “Seatpost whisperer reverb”
Lol where abouts?
I like how easy it is to take this thing apart.
Thanks great job. saved me from another poor ride. What pressure should is use?
Also, tea. Lol. Well done, mate.
You can't fix bikes without tea, or beer, Tea generally gives better end results.
This is true for more than just bikes. Plus, my garage is cold in the winter, and warm tea is easier to drink than cold beer when your hands are freezing lol.
Thank you so much for an informative and concise demo! I did all this and the lever is still difficult to depress; do you recommend greasing the cable or just swapping it out? Thank you so much as the seat (once actuated) works just grand!
Nice job!
Cheers bud, you have a command post yourself?
Mine has a clunk and pop coming from the post. What could that be?
Thanks man👍🏻👌🏼
No problem 👍
cool, thanks
Your welcome! 😁
thanks for this video! is it possible to improvise the strap wrench?
Hi, this is a little late but a channel locks with some Emory cloth wrapped around the collar to protect it worked for me.
i used a thick older bike tire with channel locks.
You didn't mention that part of the collet is broken and missing.
Good spot! Yes part of the collet on mine was broken, it appears to be a common failure on the older command posts and doesnt stop them working. I blame the insane return speed!
What brand of strap wrench are you using?
A cheap home brand one from B&Q. Was cheap and works a treat
@@StravaigingMTB thanks!
Did you have any saddle clamp sliding issues? I read some complaints.
+Johannes Nilsen only when not torqued with loctite!
ok, nothing abnormal then.
+Johannes Nilsen it is a two part tapered circular clamp. You could coat it in some carbon grip paste for qrip
what if it is not holding air?
Finding a seal kit could be bit if a nightmare, I've also noticed corrosion at the bottom if mine in the past so if it's leaking from the valve end that could be terminal 🙁.
quando devo trocar kits de reparo
I've never found repair kits, a bike shop that sells Specialized will be able to tell you if they are available.
Tight is tight, wrung off is too loose.
got it! nevermind
Good job! What did you use?
@@StravaigingMTB I took our chain whip (which is a long handled tool) and threaded a short piece of bike tube through the hole at the end of the handle...wrapped it around the collar lock ring and then put the other end of the tube back through the hole on the end of the chain whip--pulled the tube as snuggly as I could around the collar lock ring and held both ends firmly against the handle of the chain whip...then twisted and poof!
What a great hack!!
