Joplin Adjustable Seatpost
January 31st, 2008 by ArleighFound this article over at Speedgoat earlier today. A good write up on the Crank Brothers Joplin, adjustable, fly by the seat of your pants, seatpost. Which originally was the Maverick Speedball. I’m sad to see the sizes are limited still and they haven’t figured out how to cram all that technology into a 27.2. Maybe one day…
CRANKBROTHERS JOPLIN
Maverick has licensed their Speedball adjustable seatpost technology to Crankbrothers. Crankbrothers has renamed the all mountain height adjustable seatpost the Joplin. The seatpost will remain internally unchanged for 2008. However, the externals will undergo some of Crankbrothers signature anodizing. Oh, and the Maverick emblem is no longer on the adjustment lever as it has been replaced by the Crankbrothers logo.If you have a Maverick remote kit from your Speedball and you really want to get your hands on a new Joplin w/remote there is no need to wait for it to come out as the Maverick remote kit is compatible with Joplin posts. So just to clarify, Maverick remote kit + Crankbrothers Joplin post equals height adjustment without what would appear to be as crotch grabbing.We currently have 31.6mm Joplin (non-remote) posts in stock and we are expecting the other configurations both remote and non-remote shortly.
