I'm going to be straight I'm a tart I want rid of my CTD bar mounted remote.
It's seldom used and its in the way of where I want to mount my dropper remote.

I can convert the fork to a top cap adjuster so that's no stress.

The shock needs the whole end cap replaced which is not really a cost effective option. Mojo suggest buying a new shock which again I'm not overly keen on.

The shock adjustment is via a cable which runs into a stop on the shock body.

I could shorten the cable to keep it in one setting but the adjustability would be handy so I wondered if there is a barrel adjuster anyone is aware of that has considerable adjustment available.

Or failing that any other very discrete options? Not bar mounted.

Yeah that's the one.

I have been suggested a TT style shifter mounted to one of the cable guides.

Or a long barrel adjuster which potentially would allow me to tension the cable into each mode.

Is it worth the faff? You should be able to sell the shock and remote as a system for ok money and just buy a shock with a lever, without the price differential being too much.

It's trying to find the right shock in good nick and the right tune for the bike that is tricky hence the tinkering.
