You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
As some of you know I made an adaptor to convert a standard KS/Thomson dropper remote to a thumb shifter.
I've had a bit of interest again so pondering making some more but would need to know what sort of numbers before approaching the boss to see if it's possible.
So, if you'd be interested in one (or more) drop me an email and I'll see what sort of numbers I get. Probably need IRO 20-30 to make it worthwhile.
Pricing would be the about same as last time @ £12-15 each posted.

Cheers, Steve
Cheeky bump for the Weds crowd... 😀
Come up with something to attach a reverb to a Shimano brake leaver and Id buy one.
Looks good.
As Scruff as, reverb to shimano adapter would be great.
I'll take one, disappointed I missed the first batch
Brilliant bit of kit, if I had one of those posts I'd have one, not sure it would make much difference on my reverb remote.
Anyone tried this with a reverb remote? Can't seem to get mine in a comfortable position.
If anyone has a broken reverb remote I could play with I'm sure I could do something...
Sent you an email, glad you're doing a second run.
I'm in, YHM.
I'd be interested in one for my Thomson
I have also sent you an email, I would like one regardless but what are the possibilitys of having them anodised black to match most bars better?
I know what your thinking, some people want the moon on a stick when I'm only trying to help them out, but if you don't ask you don't get right? 😉
Cheers for doing it again!
I'll take one, ygm
I would possibly be in for 2 if they were black 😀
StevieD, I do have a broken one somewhere, email me & I will post to you for a discounted adaptor 😉
Replied Scruff, thanks.
Numbers creeping up nicely 🙂 I've posted on that BR forum too so maybe get some interest there and am going to look into a Reverb one too as I've, hopefully, got a remote for that coming for me to play with..
I'd def be interested in a reverb to shimano adapter
I'd be keen on reverb to XT brake adaptor
Do you mean an adaptor that replaces the swinging part and clamps both onto the bars? I'm not running shimano brakes so don't know exactly how they are fitted....
the swinging part of a shimano brake lever is fixed on.
More something like this [url= http://www.tritoncycles.co.uk/components-c9/gear-shifters-c73/problem-solvers-mismatch-adapters-p465/s31293?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=problem-solvers-mismatch-adapters-type-rh-only-matchmaker-sram-shifters-shimano-i-specb-blpsmmabr&utm_campaign=product%2Blisting%2Bads&gclid=Cj0KEQiA0aemBRC8p87zv_mc5qYBEiQAiEEMQcm7ee6ImvTVoQewiX9rcKoxn3TGGGbslxzNu7pdEYQaAsWK8P8HAQ ]Problem Solvers Mismatch[/url]
Where the reverb can attach to the Shimano I-Spec thingamyjigbob
I know i could buy one of them, but kinda like the idea of one engineered by someone off STW 🙂
I'll try and have a look at one of my mate's (who's running XT brakes) bike to see if I can work out what is needed..or if someone can send me some pics of how it might fit too, that'd be great..
Stevie is this a go?
Anyone tried using a front shifter instead, I've set my command post up with an old x9 front shifter and works treat, far better than the spesh remote, also mounts straight onto the sram brake.
Only mod that's required is grinding/filing off the 2 tiny teeth in the mechanism so it doesn't stay in the shifted position and just pulls cable. Probably possible with a dremel without splitting the shifter.
I was just thinking the Command Post lever should fit on this... it is just giving you the bar diameter at a different angle isn't it.
I guess so, however I'm sure there's an abundance of unused front shifters knocking around these days that don't cost a penny.
The shifter lever is a lot longer than the spesh remote lever making it a lot easier to push specially once the cables arent so smooth.
Also the shifter is sealed and the barrel and top of cable aren't open to the elements, so I'm hoping it stays smoother longer, so far so good.
Anyone used, or work out if it would be usable with the the [url= http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00K2WI094/ref=pe_385721_51767431_TE_dp_1 ]RSP Plummet[/url] remote?
How wide is the band on the remote? These have a 12mm wide clamping section.
Will check tomorrow
