custom 0.1L air tanks for mountain bicycles
0.1L air tanks are not standard bicycle accessories, but a kind of performance upgrade. The main function is to supply air to pneumatic seatpost,especially for mountain bikes (Enduro/downhill).
Working principle:
The pneumatic drop seatpost allows for quick seat height adjustment via a remote switch on the handlebars. It is easier to control when going downhill by lowering the seatpost , and ensures pedaling efficiency when going uphill by raising the seatpost. The 0.1L air tank acts as the "air chamber" of the entire system, storing compressed air.
Why need air tank on the bicycle?
Firstly, air tank ensures fast response.When riders press the switch, the cylinder needs to draw in a large amount of air instantly. An air tank provides this instantaneous airflow, making seat post raising and lowering very quickly and smoothly. If only rely on the small air cylinder and tube, it will result in slower raising and lowering speeds.
Secondly, air tank can stable pressure. Air tank buffers internal pressure fluctuations caused by temperature changes or frequent operation, making seat post performance more stable.
What parts needed to achieve this function?
To acheive this function, it requires a complete set of modification parts , including an air tank, high-pressure air hose, special air valve, and bracket to be fixed to the bicycle frame.
Importan Notes of this system:
1. Safety First: The air tank is a pressure vessel. Must confirm its maximum operating pressure (PSI/MPa) and use a safety-certified air tank specifically designed for bicycle pneumatic systems. No overpressure use.
2. System Compatibility: Ensure the air tank, hoses, connectors, and the pneumatic dropper seatpost (or other devices) are compatible; otherwise, it will not function properly and may even leak.
3. Maintenance: Like maintaining a suspension fork, regularly check the sealing of the entire air system.
