This is what I came up with to prevent the rear table from flopping around when in any position but fully lowered. Not as elegant as Loren's solution that has gotten recent press, but very easy and easily reversible in case I want to try the internal dowel. http://picasaweb.google.com/bike2vcu/TableMod02/photo#5081242097264314626 Use 1 1/2" PVC cut so it snugly fits between lower plate and the upper sleeve, about 21 inches long. I can measure again for anyone who's interested. Sleeve ID is slightly larger than the table leg OD so there's some looseness, so I used a piece of thin plastic (like a strip of plastic cutting board) rolled and inserted into the PVC. Snug fit of the table leg within this acts as a brake or damper on the table leg. Stephen
