We’re always looking for better value alternatives to parts that dont compromise on quality. And we get a lot of parts that for one reason or another never make it to the webshop.
Usually because they’re a poor fit, or just poor quality. They get confined to the “sin bin” and we use them to throw at pigeons and small children in our lunch breaks…
These nearly went in the bin… theyre an alternative brand of relay lever. On first inspection they looked good quality, nice finish, and well made. Until we trial fitted one. They’re simply too tight in a new cup.
So we waited until we had a T3 with a sloppy gearchange in the workshop. Often this would require at least the relay lever and cup replacing at the back end. In this case we just fitted one of these “oversize” parts. Because the original cup was worn, its a nice loose fit, and the gearchange was improved for a quarter of the price. Bonus!
So, dont fit them to one of our new cups, they’ll be too tight… but if you have an old worn cup and you want to prop it up for a bit longer, they’ll do the job 🙂
