jackshaft kit

its great to see that jackshaft kit now available, im ordering one right away, anyone else planning on trying one out?dan

Im working on getting one on my bike as I speak. Its a fantastic quality kit for the money. I can't wait to ride mine.

hey datz, what model bike are you installing it on?

Mine is an old Gary Fisher Aquila Mountain bike.. Mine has been a very interesting installation so far due to a number of issues with the design of the bike.

If you check out the Rotten Orange Gary Fisher build in the photo section, theres a whole thread about it with lots of photos. Here's a link:
Rotten Orange build - Gary Fisher Aquila shifter buildup!

For most bikes, this shifter kit is a pretty simple installation, but you can read about how i'm solving some issues that I came across solely due to the way my bike was built.

where did you get your jack shaft kit? the only one i've found is $200!

looking forward to your reply.

Datz and I both got the Sick Bike Parts Shifter Kit from Welcome to Sick Bike Parts and it has been a lot of fun to ride. At 200 dollars they are not making a lot on these kits and it would be very expensive to try to reproduce it without free use of a full machine shop. Then you still have to get the quality parts to make it all go and the design Jim and Paul worked out.These guys are the real deal when it comes to customer service and quality product.
