Many thanks Tootal! Great write-up.
Now that the bike is back together, will we see you again in Suches this month? I'll bring beer this time! (thanks again for picking up a six pack for me last time). |

I don't think I'll make it in March. Too many irons in the fire at the moment. I will try and make it in October though! |

Thanks Total. I'll be putting the pin in with my fork oil change in about 2K miles.
Appreciate your thread on this and the pin! |

This is the thread I have been looking for.
It should go in the knowledge vault. |

It has been requested that I explain the locking mechanism as far as how to remove and install the pins. So here it is:
You will need to take the two screws out of the switch and remove it. Once removed you can take a small screwdriver and lift on the end cap. There are small indentations along the edge where you can pry. Just put the screwdriver in and twist it. Keep doing this a little at a time while you move around the outside. It will eventually pop off. Once off, lift the rectangular keeper off the pin. The part behind the pin has a little spring pressure on it so push on the center rod to take the spring pressure off and the pin will pull out the side. Insert the new pin and release the rod. Install the rectangular keeper and the end cap. Put the switch back on and install the two screws and your ready to go. I had one of the guys say the pin would not fit in the tree. He had to run a 1/2" drill down the hole to open it up. I did not have this problem but if you do that is what you will need to do. A reamer would be better than a drill if you need to do that. |

These two screws will remove the switch mechanism so you can get to the end cap. |
