[Closed] Downgrading from Poploc remote

Just picked up some Rebas which have the Poploc remote installed, but I don't want the clutter on the bars. Does anyone know which bits I'd need to take it back to a simple lever on the crown? The kit on the Sram website seems to suggest a load of the internals have to be swapped out.

Thanks!

Should have googled. Just found Peter Poddy's handy guide [url= https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1AoGIWBz4H1YWNhYWRkODYtNzRiNi00YTA1LTlmMjctNmQzOWQwMDdiZGFl/edit?ddrp=1&pli=1&hl=en# ]here[/url].

Just looked a little closer; it seems although the sticker says Motion Control, it's actually not (I thought Motion Control would have the silver/gold mini knob in the middle of the blue one?). The black hex in the middle is plastic - the silver screw is self-tapped into it. Can anyone tell me what sort of damper this is?

I will probably just unhook the spring inside the damper and then use the same blue knob with something sticking out to switch on/off.

Speak to Loco, he'll sell you the correct top cap for a non poplock fork. I did the same to mine cos I kept breaking the poploc lever in the car...

It's quite a simple mod to swap over and undo the spring. You've still got a MoCo damper, just not with the floodgate adjust like PP's had in his guide.

IIRC correctly, looks like you've got the same damper as me (RL) and it's a black not red damper. I recall having to undo the top of the damper (left hand thread) for some reason and splitting the seal doing it which was a pain to replace so go steady.

If you do it then drop me a message if you want to sell the remote i'll take it off you.

Thanks for that. RL it is. I think Junkyard has dibs on the remote I'm afraid.
