Popular Post keith84_hk Posted September 6, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 Hi guys, just a quick update. The second mock up arrived and it looks pretty good apart from the retaining hole at the back requires to move up 3 millimeters to ensure it locks securely onto the lever. Here is the video showing the shifting action from 1st to 6th gear, and then the reserve. WhatsApp Video 2021-09-06 at 2.04.25 PM.mp4 Instead of doing another sample and keeps everyone waiting, I'd like to go ahead with the production and hopefully to receive the batch at the end of September. The kit will include everything you need for the installation, including: - Short shift adaptor (stainless steel) - M6 Rod ends (For shift cable) - M8 Rod ends (For crossgate cable) - Shift cable pin - Stainless steel retaining wire As I said before, the kit will be absolutely FREE of charge but it will be great if those who are interested in this kit could pay for the shipping cost Cheers Keith 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Sam, no worries, I am going to revise the drawing before sending it off for production, so that 3mm issue will be fixed at the time Edited September 6, 2021 by keith84_hk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith84_hk Posted September 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 Sorry to say all 10 sets of short shift adaptors have been reserved, perhaps it's better to wait for the user feedback before I decide will make another batch or not. Thanks for all the supports Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBD Posted September 12, 2021 Report Share Posted September 12, 2021 On 20/08/2021 at 12:28, keith84_hk said: Hi Mark. Thanks for your input. I think @Martrack was concerning about the material strength which we are now going to make the adaptor from a one piece solid CNC stainless steel. I understand the new shift point could stress the original arm/lever so if you look at the design, the adaptor was actually covering most part of the arm/lever so the stress could be spread across instead of at one single point. If you consider the flimsy eye on the cable I wouldn't waste any thoughts on breaking the lever itself.

Popular Post keith84_hk Posted November 2, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 Sorry guys It's been a bit chaos with the CNC supplier, it turns out they've made it in Aluminum instead of Stainless Steel which I requested. Good news is the fitment is great so I now have asked them to redo it in stainless steel at their own cost, I have been told the lead time could take 3 weeks from now on so hopefully I can get them at the end of November and ship out immediately before the Christmas time. This is what I received and I know its not stainless steel as soon as I put it on my hand, as it's significant lighter than the stainless steel sample that I got. The cable rob ends also arrived made by a reputed company from Japan called IKO NIPPON THOMPSON, as well as the retaining clip for the rod ends which I didn't take the picture. So it's not a SCAM and you are NOT forgotten! Now all we need to do is to wait for the CNC guy to redo them in stainless steel and we are good to go. I really appreciate your patience and I am utterly gutted when I received the aluminum piece as well Will keep you guys posted Cheers Keith 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post keith84_hk Posted January 4, 2022 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 Guys, I just been told the production of the short shift adaptor is now completed...Yes Finally...! First off I wanna say big thank you for those who waited patiently as I know it has been substantial delay from the original plan but well...we are getting there. If things go smooth, I should able to receive them early next week and I'll have a quick check on the fitment and quality before I ship out!

Sorry they couldn't make it in time for the Christmas as they have some difficulties machining it in Stainless steel, as you know stainless steel is quite a lot stiffer than aluminum which makes them struggle at first. Having said that, we are getting there now and soon I will be contacting you privately for the shipping address. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
