PbFlinger 64 #1 Posted June 15, 2021 An easy and nearly free mod to “fix” a flat gas hold up rod. I just pick the seat up, and the PVC tube falls over & holds the seat up. When I’m done gassing up, just tap the tube over, the fat part of the rod slides inside the tube & the seat falls down. It has lasted for years, and I think I actually like it better than a working gas rod. 6 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Handy Don 12,235 #4 Posted June 16, 2021 It is a cool idea. Gas cylinders are two for $13 on the jungle site, in case you're interested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PbFlinger 64 #5 Posted June 16, 2021 Thanks for the tip and the resource Don, that’s a very reasonable price. But seriously, I think I like this better. It just clicks up and down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
