It's a fooking rep ya maniac!!
Mattdub:
Chris , pm Andy ( bigplinky ) ;) . He had one fitted quite recently .
hunterdubber:
Yes I rode one that Andy ( Big Plinky) had fitted to his Maximum bike :)
Rode like a dream ,,silky smooth gear change . :smitten:
Yes they are another different and unconventional BMX component , but a bit of positve diversity in this hobby can't be bad
Personally I thought it was pretty cool and well made
and if you can build a DY with one , then props to you Chris for doing it just as the rider rode it :4_17_5:
Bob_Acid:
Agreed. I say go for it. They're cool as you like
Bigplinky:
Had one fitted to my Maximum for a few years.
There are two versions: the first gen ones (like mine) have the barrel of the shifter set in a fixed position and are very tricky to set up as I had to shim the barrel to get the correct angle for it to work, The 2nd gen unit has a barrel with an adjustable angle which I would assume is much easier to set up.
When they work (90% of the time) they are very good and give a real advantage coming out of the gate for the first pedal, my technique has been to set it up to shift before getting the bike on the gate and then it will auto-change after 3/4 of a crank turn as you come out of the gate. I would imagine they would wear very quickly in mud and also clog up quickly for that matter.
The other things you need to set it up are an offset back wheel (I'm using a modified Suntour hub at present) and a chain tensioner (give me a shout if you need one I have some spare ones)

Has a much nicer DC cable stop on it now not the big Jubilee clip in the photo :crazy2:
