Lean Steer Adjuster Fix
Hello all, here is my latest project. I just hate it when I pull on the handlebar and it slips upward.
I have posted a project on the WIKI site with my fix. Improvement on the adjustment knob Don't forget to post your projects on the WIKI, that's what it's there for.

A single little washer added to the knob completely fixed my problem, as you have pictured in your project.

increasing knob size
Does anyone have a suggestion for adding something to the tightening knob to make it bigger, and easier to grip - especially when wearing gloves?

And while they are at it, please change the shape to hexagonal or octagonal. I find it difficult to crawl under a car to retrieve the sections of this as they roll away from me if accidentally dropped. I have a small wad of blue "tack-it" putty to hold the pieces together...and it does help.

Looks like a great little tool.
Is there a website we can order? |

Bring it back
Anyone remember the original intended design that never made it into production (or at least, was never sold - H&S issues again if I recall)? This looked best in my opinion and would be easy to grip:
"LeanSteer Frame Tool-less Height Adjust"

I think the thing many of you are forgetting is that by increasing the friction against the shafts without increasing the torque you have to put on the thread is a VERY GOOD thing.
That is a very small diameter screw that you really don't want to strip!
