Thomsons justerbara stolpe - Blåtand och för LVG!
Thomson tänker nytt.
"“When we make the 27.2 mountain bike post, it’s only going to be a dropper post. Our road one will have that capability, but it’ll also have a “Pavé” setting that’ll drop it about 5mm and add a bit of suspension to take the edge off rough roads. The amount of suspension travel isn’t determined yet, but the rider will be able to fine tune when the suspension starts working. The plan for now is to only have it move about 2-3mm through its travel, but that could change after testing. The goal is primarily to reduce vibrations and make the rider more comfortable, which should make them faster and last longer in the saddle.”
They’ll do this with a dual action lever. Push it down and it’ll drop through it’s travel, push it up and it’ll switch to Pavé…but this design, too, is subject to change. They’re pretty early in the development process on this but have stated Eurobike as a release date. We could see a post mounted lever being a good option here, keeping the bike’s aesthetics cleaner."
Och angående deras MTB-stolpe så har dom en del intressanta idéer där med:
"BLUETOOTH REMOTE CONTROL
From there, things get pie-in-the-sky, but Parrett says they’re actually working on a Bluetooth controlled circuit that can remotely actuate the post. One of the benefits is that it could potentially eliminate two SKUs (stealth and standard) for just one wireless remote version, eliminating the cable without sacrificing convenience…which is the ultimate goal. The immediate plan is to have a standalone Bluetooth switch that can be placed anywhere on the bike, but eventually they’ll have a smartphone app capable of controlling it.
By integrating the GPS, accelerometer and computing power of a rider’s smartphone, the app could automatically control the seatpost height based on incline/descent. Or, you could program it to learn a course and adjust the height based on location. No ETA on this, but they’re working on it"
