All Out Adventures

2 wooden shims, 2 scraps of ensolite, and a whole lot of gorilla tape = yesterday's recipe for independent shifting! A trike customer who can no longer pull up on their bar end shifter to change gears just needed a little extra leverage to be able to continue riding independently. We fashioned this, and now with a combination of pulling up with their hand and pushing down with their forearm, our customer is off and riding again.

(Yes, yes, there's for sure a more permanent and elegant solution to be found, but why wait for perfect when you can be back out riding today?)

“Well, if they’re there, I have to go. It’s for my mental health.”
