I am not a complete fool, but...
There are loads of rubber grommets and stuff, and I can't work it out. I mean there's all sorts of stuff with the cable, has anyone got a decent photo of the set up. The instructions are sparce.

The thin straw tube is inside the spring.
Took me a while to work out as a complete novice to bike mechanics.
Hope this helps 🙂
oh and the little plastic tube goes inside the long spring.

Also my posts return action was subdued to say the least on first fitting ( only a few days ago).
But after a couple of rides it is now very quick.
I do wipe mine over with a silicone cloth ( gun cleaning cloth) after cleaning and drying after use.
ha, just seen your post Chip! mines also on a Voodoo 😀
I found there wasn't enough air in mine to and had to increase the pressure to the recommended 25 psi.
I checked the pressure in mine and it was bang on 25psi so I left it.
Also I think for the money they should include a small sachet of fibre grip as it recommends using it.
After some research I came to the conclusion that this was carbon assembly paste, which cost me another tennor for a blinking great tube.
I still had to torq it up by feel (my torq driver only goes up to ten) far more than I was comfortable doing to stop the seat moving.
Oh, I love riding the hoodoo,
It's the fact I can't go out without returning with it completely caked in mud that is wearing a bit thin.
Thanks, that explains it, awesome.
Couldn't figure it out and my fingers were getting numb.
Duno if the new HiLo kit is comming with a better quality cable these days but the original one was crap. I found with mine a decent 1.1mm Teflon coated cable made a world of difference to the action of the remote lever.
Chip, my experience was the complete opposite. The Hilo was a better fit in my wanga than the original post and required much less force on the qr.
Chip, mine came with fibre grip applied already.
Hi, no, i had no problem with the post fitting and clamping in the seat tube.
It was when riding home from the trail and hitting a bump in the road that with a rather loud creak my seat tilted back..
Due to the way it clamps the seat and the cones that hold the seat at the preferred angle not having any indents to help hold it firm.
Maybe mine had dried up.
Glad you got it sorted as said above mine works very well.
And now no more getting whacked in Jacobs when going down hill.
