Questions & Answers

You should have an e-mail address There may be a need for a longer cable with bik What is the cable installation process like? Can you replace it?

A shorter cable was required to connect it to a Pedego City Commuter Ebike, but the Shimano shifter did come with one at the time, but the Pedego cable was slightly longer, so a slightly longer cable was bought (lots are I was able to substitute the longer cable very easily and it worked perfectly.

The Shimano TX50 can this be used in place of this ?

The shifter had to be returned so I could get one with a double handlebar. It is my sincere hope that you find the solution to your problem. It's been 40 years since I rebuilt my bicycle The year is My old frame has remained in my collection, and I still like riding it so much! Hope you have a good time!

My existing cable works fine, can I use it?

It would be possible, but what would be the point if you had to strip the cable and rewire it So you might as well use the Christine cable that comes with the shifter because it is threaded through the

It is not a perfect solution, but it is close enough
4/5

Getting the shifter to work is easy. The shifter on my wife's Schwinn cruiser is much easier for her to use now that I replaced the twist type shifter. Due to the fact that you'll have to run a new shift cable back to the derailleur, I gave the difficulty rating of 3 stars. You do not need a lot of equipment to make this happen, but you will need some tools and abilities. As a result, she could slip when downshifting because the clamp on her bike didn't fit tightly enough around the handlebar. A little piece of aluminum from a soda can was used as a shim, and that fixed the problem. As much as possible, I put it between the clamp and handlebars. I am happy with the result.

This is garbage

A message was sent to the seller, but no reply was received. This is trash. This plastic plate is loose and turns on its own, so it is a waste of space. Sending an email to the We did not receive any.

Pedego has a cable that is too short for the derailleur

That's a very good looking machine
5/5

I like the SIS Presets very much. They look very good. I think the pre-sets are great. They operate easily and are precise. They are comfortable on the thumb and fit snugly next to the brake lever. Customer who is happy.
