I’ve been looking around at some of the flatshifter/trickshifter type options and they all appear to have their limitations. In an ideal world I would be looking at a paddle shift with cable operation with full throttle up shifts and throttle blip on the down shift. I know that some of the systems will give this capability, but will any of them work with a cable linkage rather than a rod linkage?
Get in touch with Pathfinder - he's been developing something. have a look in his photo archive.
It looks a neat bit of kit and does everything you want (I think) - I'll certainly be upgrading to something of that ilk eventually.
I take it your building a BEC. If so why not use an electronic shift. These are ready made kits for bikes and are simple to fit.
try Flatshifter at www.flatshifter.com i think they work with cable/electronic and air assisted gear shifts had good reports of them
Hi, i have the klictronic shifter with the trickshifter full throttle up/blip downchange and have made some paddles to activate the buttons very neat and small -looks the mutts . works a dream
made my own with halfords compressor, fire extinguisher, valve and ram from local bearing supplier, and two micro switches using the wiring for the horn. think it cost about £130 for bits. done 3000 miles this summer wi no probs. will try and get photos up for you, but poo wi computer... robby
