And here we are, with the Shifter Lever V2!
The V1 was working well, but…
We made as it was (steel, different parts, partially 3D printed) following several suggestions and our proper inspiration, but it turned out to be expensive and too time-consuming.
In addition, the second prototype shows some defects: of all places in the 3d printed steel base!
although it works well we could not stand that defect, and the producer could not guarantee, at the same price, that the future parts would be flawless…
So we went for CNC machining!
Models modified, purchased, and here we are, this is the first prototype of the V2!
Less parts even if the shape is the same (still possible to make it in three parts, as the V1, we will look for the best option!), no paint needed, completely in aluminium 6061, still adjustable and less protruding like the V1, still with the tip at an angle so it will fold easily, and probably it will be possible to get them anodized…
Now time for the brake lever, that one also will be changed and made in aluminium, soon a prototype will arrive!
Now the winter is coming, so there wont be so much testing (even if we are confident that it works) and we have other projects ongoing (first of all the Tower), but as always if there was enough real interest we could organize a buying group.
Stay tuned!
