thanks nuovo, that looks perfect.
For those that are curious i have a rickety old pashley picador for the wife, it has a crappy twist grip from the 60s probably with a rear derailleur (5 speed), but this twist grip is just too difficult to get it to stay on any one gear, as she pedals she pulls on the bars and inevitably changes gear.
So, new grips, new rear derailleur and this thumb shifter should do the trick.

no problem. our "post lady" who knows how to drive the franking machine is away today, so is it ok if it goes in tomorrows post?

and if anyone does have a 5 speed twist shift, i might be interested

tomorrow, the day after that or even after that is fine, im not in a hurry, this is project #4 at least

 

[nuovo_record]

would you like the left hand shifter too? just incase the want to add some extra gears?

 

[Tharg2007]

no thanks, its a pashley trike so not much chance of that, certainly no need as she only used it about 5 times so far.

cheers anyway
