I got a KS LEV with my new bike but this weekend I had some problems. TLDR, post worked poorly on yesterday's ride, didn't work at all on today's ride, but worked fine in the evening.
On Saturday the seat would not go down all the way. Or if I tried it 5-10 times eventually it would go down all the way but then when I wanted to drop the post later I would have to repeat 5-10 times.
Today, it would not drop at all on my ride.
I tried:
-Completely loosening the seat post clamp in case it was too tight.
-removing all air pressure with a pump (was at 150 lbs)
-verifying that when I hit the lever on my handlebars the mechanism was working underneath the red cover.
I let it sit in the garage in frustration and went to test it later and the post worked like a champ. The only thing I could think of was the post sat in my cool garage versus riding in the 80 degree weather today. So I tried to heat up the post with a hair dryer but it still worked fine. MAYBE it felt a little stiffer.
Anybody have this problem and figure out how to solve it?
