Nice! I keep looking for one, like the KS LEV but the 27mm one seems to not exist or will never be on sale!

They are a great bit of kit, makes trail riding so much easier, got mine on EBay, £150 brand new, just without box. The only weakness to them is the hose fitting to the seat, there is a small stainless tube that is a little flimsy, I replaced it with a more robust fitting.

Definitely best to get the opposite button as well, mounting it under the bar to protect it.

I'm very glad i have the underbar setup as i have had to have the bike upside down a couple of times in the last few days

You'll be please to know i rode back up all day on saturday at danbury, check my strava !

what did you do to mod the fitting Apples/ Dave ?

i managed to get a nice SDG Bel air for it with rails so its back to the comfort i'm used to!

Hi fella, the fitting from hose to seat post, changed out for a Goodridge fitting:

It seems a sturdier fitting than the stock offering.,

You could use it with a matchmaker system if you have compatible shifters too
