whats the feedback on shifter kits ,sure works cool.I want one.Sick bike parts set up looks nice.
Thanks for the great comments. I can follow up on the above.I have a shifter kit. It is a very good product. However, you might need to change your bottom brackets. It requires 127mm or longer bottom brackets. You might also find some difficulty in aligning the chain lines. Also, be careful not to loose the key locks, it can slip out if you don't locktite it. I lost one of mine. You also need to paint it, so roughen the surfaces first, use a primer then paint it over with the final finishing paint. Use a heavy duty BMX chain.
You should also have an adequate space between your rear wheel and your seatpost, or install a smaller rear wheel if you have disc brakes.
If it's the right size, then it should be fine.Hey Ghost0 and Pablo, do you guys think this chain would be a suitable chain for use with the kit? my bike chain is 10 years old...

Tell me about it!!! Kit cost me close to £180 thats 320.21 CAD / 262 USD but thats not pablo's fault thats shipping on top, the only thing im scared of is 15% import tax making it 301USD orI just got back from the post office and just sent a money order to sickbikeparts. I'm not too happy with our exchange rate, the kit cost me $262.00 but I guess there is no turning back now....
The thing is that if you were to price out all of the parts, $199.50 is not a bad deal but almost $300 Canadian is like a kick in the head.
It's sad to think that a few months ago, our dollars were about even.
